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:



Oops! Did I jinx myself!? :rolleyes:

:lol:

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?



snap.. ive seen a few guys that arent on .org!

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.

I've seen that a number of times at the old looking garage in Knutsford. Posted the spot on here with no reply.



Back on topic I spotted you Mr Icey 4th Feb ...............2006
