Re the insurance issue it just like any other time you go to pick up a new car. To get it taxed the dealer must have an insurance certificate (cover note etc..) . The difference here is that you insure , tax , register the car....then some time later pick it up And Mani hasn;t had a call because we're re trimming his stunning red seats in black as yellow and red don;t go ...do they Stu

ioutside of the sprint i think most will agree that my little monster has the loudest exhaust on a vx! :rolleyes:

sorry mate .....Ive got the loudest exhaust on my 2.2 (Vaux sports!!) :P

This is all getting a little..."mine's bigger than yours..so there!"...

However, I think (at over 113db), my Courtenay exhaust may give you guys an "ear bashing" :P

How about we meet up in a Toys R Us carpark and have a "zoorst off"... ;)

And Mani hasn;t had a call because we're re trimming his stunning red seats in black as yellow and red don;t go ...do they

Stu

yellow and red.....what a colour scheme....keep you up all night! :D

regarding insurance...I was under the impression that you needed insurance docs as soon as it came off the production line from the factory....before it was "VXR"d at Lotus motorsport..... so naturally I was still expecting a call .......as I though the re-trimming would be done at the motorsport end...

never mind.....time is ticking and I am getting :groupjump:

Mani

ps - Stu tried contacting you...busy man...or what

Good grief, that means mine could be as little as 5 weeks away! Better start looking for a buyer for the 135r :o

Still good time of year to sell, if only it would stop raining.

Yes...always worth having a buyer in waiting...in my case the dealer!

I received my letter and badge last wednesday.

I have also received a PM from Stu which added that a couple of dealers have elected to move to the bottom of the list and so my car (No.34) should be finished by end of July latest.

Cheers, Ian

Sorry Mani,
But I have to disagree with this,I've taken an order today(this morning)for a VXR & won't see the car til late September.Which rules out 10 a week.Incidently there were 5 left after this order,excluding dealer cars.
