I've only managed to get 2 spotteds in nearly 3 years and I do 350+ miles a week including seemigly frequent trips from north to south! Perhaps it's because my car is dull in colour an blends in with everything else a bit too much? I could make it a bit noisier to try and get some more attention I guess? :unsure: :grouphug: for the lesser spotted VX!

I never get spotted, and I frequently spot others who aren't on the frigging forum! Surely there aren't many people who buy VXs and aren't geeky enough to join the forum?

I see three VX's on a semi regular basis that I've never seen on here :(

There is a Red Turbo and a Blue NA around the same area (Knutsfordish)

And there is a highly modified Coral turbo (TD's,Long Diffuser, apparently running about 300+hp according to the mechanic.....) that goes into a garage in Knutsford all the time.

[/grouphug] for the lesser spotted VX!

That's as many as me and it's been eight years Posted Image (although i do far less miles pw). Perhaps it's not the colour of your vx but the fact that it's a complete blur which is all folks see of you [/whoosh] Posted Image

Perhaps we need a sub forum for the 'lesser spotted VX' The rarest of the rare Posted Image

Edit add...forget the 'more noise = more attention' equation. My baby is pretty loud and it's not made me more spotable

They probably take one look (at the forum) and run away screaming Posted Image Posted Image

I've seen a few and posted up the details here but have never received an answer to any.

Good luck in finding the owners to those that you've seen previously Posted Image

That's a long haul, i am surprised you've never been spotted (fingers crossed you will be soon. Perhaps this thread will bring you some luck).

Wasn't regal's old vx a white one (highly disfigured modded as you say)
