Your VXR8 looks amazing, I love the soundtrack LS3 engine has. Is yours N/A?
A mate of mine had one of these with a TWR exhaust system and it sounded unreal, so much so it was nick named The Growler! Ha ha
Thanks, it is the LS3 6.0, shipped over by VX in early 2007, and yep N/A it does enough for me so no need for a blower. A mate of mine had one of these with a TWR exhaust system and it sounded unreal, so much so it was nick named The Growler! Ha ha
I also have a TWR exhaust with straight through pipes just for that added growl lol
Loads of us guys round the Bromley/Chis/Petts Wood/Orpington area, hardly ever see a PH sticker though! Will keep a closer eye out!
I do often hear loud cars from my garden though! There's a house somewhere over the back that I hear idling a yank-sounding V8 on a Sunday morning sometimes - still not worked out where it is!!

You can just about see the PH smiley in this picture of my very dirty M5. Can be seen and heard around Maidstone. Unfortunately I cant find a pic with the reg number showing but its a 51 plate car.
Pretty sure Ive seen this in the car wash next to my work a few times, sounds Edited by Stinkfoot on Monday 29th April 02:19
is that just a rear box delete??Edited by neiljohnson on Monday 29th April 07:29
Current dailys are a little uninspiring at the moment - compared to the 400plus bhp flamers of the past.
So much so, I dont even have pics of the MX5. Just the 2.5Turbo Forester.
The current weekend project is the Evo Powered AWD Proton (overdue a respray).
Usually lurking around the Medway area and the only current car witha smiley.

Considering I only leave 2 mins from you I've only seen the proton once! You need to get it out more So much so, I dont even have pics of the MX5. Just the 2.5Turbo Forester.

Very true.
Some of my previous cars in recent years have been purchased as turn-key modified vehicles (ex development/tuner demo vehicles). Apart from the odd bolt on upgrade, there was nowt to do.
With the Proton I could've just bought another Clio Cup as a second track car and be done, but I missed the RWD Escort modification/fabrication days and literally cutting up a perfectly good Evo for parts seemed like a good idea at the time.
I think I sussed out where you live this morning (the turning before mine) so it really is 2 mins.
Im sure you wont considering your job, but if you need to borrow tools, hoist etc - you know where I am.

Amazing looking car, were you at the classic car show on Whitstable Slopes last year? I remember there being a red cossie there..

Edit - Turns out it wasn't, was another red one
