Eh... What the feck is going on at the moment?

Steve you are a legend both on-line and in real life, I don't know what had caused the change, but I hope to god that it isn't because someone on here has given you grief about anything you have posted.

Christ... With reduced roles from Slindy, Fab and Ickle-Steve I can't see much point in sticking around myself - maybe that is the intention... Without the craic on here, all I am left with is a disappointing itch that cannot be scratched for a little while yet.

A really serious .org is a sh** thing, in my opinion!

Ive now checked 3 calendars.............its not April 1st........

Has someone called a Doctor?

:grouphug:


:yeahthat:

Will, where are you?


Howdy.

Sad to read this thread. Even more sad that I missed at the time.

I'm still about but working two jobs and exams in January, coupled with a VX that is currently largely unused mean I have kept a low profile for a bit.

Sad to read about Big Steve departing. I know you'd talked about it, and having met you and your family I can see why.

That won't stop me from echoing what has already been said though:

It's been an absolute pleasure Sir.

Not the same! His bigness was his defining quality, and nobody, not ever, described him as silent! Sad times.

I have not been a user on this forum for the last few years for reasons I would rather not discuss.

I met some really good people on here in my early days of VX ownership and feel kind of bad that I lost contact and slipped into the rut I recently found myself in.

Must admit as I look through the forum here there are only a handful of names I recognise. Things have changed and people have moved on I guess. The average owner seems to be much younger !!!

As of Thursday this week i will no longer own a VX220. It is a bag of mixed emotions to be honest. I will really miss that car, the ride, the smile it gave me each time, the cheap running cost (in 5 years it has cost me bugger all).

However, i wont miss the two seats. Time has come for me to get a 4 seater so I have traded her in. When the guy took her out for a test drive she sounded amazing, I really do think it was the best sounding VX out there, apart from Fab's. That Piper, de-cat and ITg have really bed in well over the years and she just sounds better with age.

I would like to turn up at some future meets, maybe kent/surrey/sussex runs to see some old faces. I will keep my distance as i will be in a rep mobile lol.

Good luck to all of you and hope to see some the oldies in the future.

byeee

I leave you with this. BG03 SZR, my fav pic of her from the New Forest. Good luck to her new owner.

Hello mate. Yes still working with the numpty Browne's and O'Leary bless him. he must tell me every day how he knows a guy with a VX220. "Rich, I know, we discussed it 1000 times!"

You know my arse isnt fat, I recall you commenting how nice it was many a time. That was a particular spiteful moment from that nutter Fab!

I am keeping pretty well now. I had to delete facebook for a while due to some odd behaviour, but will open it again soon. look forward to beating your NA in my new Turbo. (that was a joke. I know how you wring every bit of performance out of that NA. Tried to keep up many a time).

Be the bigger person then Amanda, and don't rise to it.

if you don't fling any mud then you can walk out of the situation with your dignity. Same goes for the other party.

Well, my yellow baby has gone to a new home. Chap called Ying (Shaolin on here) came to collect her this morning. Seemed like a nice guy & I hope he has as much fun with LY016 as I did. I'll doubtless be back in another VX in the future but for now it's back to 2 wheeled superbikery for me. Thanks to everyone who's helped me out & made the .org & Vx ownership such a joy.

After about 4 and a half years and 3 vxs, I waved goodbye to number 3 today :( In my head this is very much a break and I'll rejoin the party sometime soon :)
