I don't want to be dramatic, but me and my mate Auden wrote this ode last night:

 

[font="Calibri, 'sans-serif';font-size:11pt;"]Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
He has sold his VX, his modding is done.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning in the sky
Scribbling the message, oh why, oh why?
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was our Bas, our Southend, our Stortford and Epping West,
Our fire-fighter, he was our best.
Our noon, our midnight, our talk, our song;
We thought the sandals were for ever: We were wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and quit your job.
For nothing can ever replace our Rob.[/font]

 

[font="Calibri, 'sans-serif';font-size:11pt;"]Good bye, Blue leader. :closedeyes:[/font]

 

 

That is amusing, impressive and creepy all at the same time :)

So here I am.

 

3 years later and she has just been driven away by Chris. What a stunning day to drive away in a VX....shame the hardtop had to stay on for the journey home!

 

I am sad but in a nice way.  Many friends have been made, laughs had and plenty of driving enjoyment has been had in the 'Silver Knob'.  A car with a wonderful character that has looked after me well.  Thankyou.

 

 

The happy chappy :D

Well after nearly four years of ownership it was with heavy heart that I had to sell the VX, no amount of creative accounting and man maths could get me out of the corner my wife had backed me into so one of my toys had to go, unfortunately the VX lost out to the Triumph Sprint 1050. The car has gone to a good home and no doubt will resurface on here when it's done but for now I'llleave that aspect of it down to the new owner and leave it at that.

I'd like to thank all the good people on here who gave advice, entertained and helped me during my ownership/time on here, I'd like to think that I gave back as much as I took during the time and for those who have my number and need anything in the future feel free to call/text to see if I can help.

I'll still keep an eye on the board and I may even turn up at some of the events just to say hello (I'll definitely rock up at Hickory's next time for some suicide wings  :tt: ), but for now it's time to bow ouy of VX ownership and maybe in the future I will be back in a little plastic car once again.  

 

Cheers and thanks to everyone who as helped over the past 3 and half years.

 

Ray.

Good luck Ray, hope to see you soon, will remember you and your VX fondly when you threw it round the track at Bruntingthorpe with me in it, was much enjoyable :)  Kelly sends her regards to you both too.

Thanks Giles, that day at Bruntingthorpe was the one which started with Kelly co-piloting and clearing the throttle fault every mile or so and then Nelly upside down changing the pedal which still didn't cure the fault. We will no doubt cross paths again as you aren't so far away in the bigger scheme of things, Michelle sends her regards to you, Kelly and the young fella as well, be good, try to keep the carbon fetish under control.  :P

2.5 years with an NA, and 5.5 years with a Tubby, and now I've moved on. It's been a blast, and the forum has been invaluable (even if I'm more of a lurker than poster). Got a Cayman S now. It's not as agile but has a few more creature comforts. Phil

If you're going to move away from the vx, there can't be many better ways to do I than with an Evora. Great choice!
