In a recent thread it was mentioned by mandarinvx that we should start a VX220 write off thread so that future purchasers etc can see if any vx220.org member can supply any information that could help them with their potential purchase.

As it doesn't seem to have appeared, I thought I'd start it here. My initial effort would have been something like this (this is just an example however, if it is actually someones car then please me);

X123 XXX - Silver NA, Date of Incident 05/04/03. Registered as a CAT D. p4cks

I think the idea of the thread is for VX's that are beyond economical/safe repair - ie chassis damage Thanks for adding this p4cks I'll put a linky in the useful thread selection (where most newbies will start
