The Best car!

[jibbert]

enough said?

[Thejimreaper]

Best in what respect. Compared to a Suzuki Splash or a Kia Sportage then I would be in agreement. Compared to a Veyron or a Renault Megane then its debatable!

[Justin-W]

What happened to the turbo? or are you using that to boast your own self-importance.

[minimatt1967]

OK, as Jim says it depends what context you're talking! Wouldn't be much good for my family, or somebody commuting to London every day, 'The best car' is a very strong statement!

[Neil.D]

Best car for posing maybe.

Best car...enough said? bold statement needs some backing up me thinks certainly `wouldnt` agree myself but then thats because my car IS the best do you mean the best car you have owned perhaps?

Errmm.... aren't you being a little harsh? Unless I'm missing something that's gone before, the OP is just sharing his happiness in his P&J.

We've all been there, haven't we? A wee bit exuberant?

[jibbert]

lol.. thanks guys.. yes and no! I have had the oppertunity to drive many many cars & imho (and yes slightly prejudiced as she is my baby) that the vx220 is one of the finest cars I have driven.. (turbo would have doubled my insurance for an extra 0.5 seconds 0-60) But yes ok a veyron is a weapon!

I'm lucky to get 50mpg from my 1.9TDi , note to self - check boots for lead weights!

200,000 miles =

To the OP - looks good, nice to see someone proud of their wheels!

You're getting a little bit more than just that for the extra insurance; the turbo is much quicker in-gear than the standard NA.

hmmmm.. well as soon as hit 25.. go fpr the turbo & turn into a track toy.. or an exige?!?!

Just enjoy your VX for what it is - a lightweight sports car with great handling and feedback.

Have you had much experience of RWD before?

[jibbert]

i know its a "hairdressers car" but only people who havnt driven one say that & it was a great car.. 2001 mx5 1.8 (had for about 2 years).. sideways everywhere but the vx220 is a very different beast.. had her about a year now.. was planning for the courtney supercharger or an astra vxr lump transplant but the bank seems to conspire against me!

Seems like the right colour to me Darren

[jibbert]

only colour available on the vxr220 then its good enough for mine!

[snoopstah]

You're all wrong about the colour, and mine's definitely more than 0.5 seconds quicker than the 2.2 to 60mph

But more seriously, looks lovely -- take care with it, they will bite in the wet if you don't respect it. Learn to drive it before you make it go faster. I bought my 2.2 VX aged 23 as my first performance rear-wheel drive car. I'm pretty sure that if I'd bought a VXT at that point it would have ended up in a hedge within the first six months.

snoopstah your car looks like a weapon!
