Hey Hey, I´ve been reading this forum quite frequently, and 2months ago I finally bought a VX220 NA (0223) after a couple of years looking for one (there are few ones available in Portugal, and importing one is almost impossible due to the import tax). My name is Joao Saramago, and I´m from Lisbon in Portugal. Currently I´m working near Amsterdam, but normally I go back home every weekend in order to enjoy the new ride I own a BMW X1 diesel for the day to day and an MR2 that is now waiting for another owner. Curious I used to consider the MR2 (2002 version) a sports car, but after driving the VX220 every time I jump into the MR2 it feels like driving a school bus... My VX220 has currently a couple of mods (exhaust, "home made" air induction kit, ABS switch, rims / rubber and other visual tweeks) but looking forward to new improvements (manifold, coilovers, ECU and... SC) Cheers to all JS

Welcome aboard JS. Holland to Portugal is a bit mad isn't it? Great to see you're enjoying the car so much.

2h30 by flight, so it is good to enjoy a weekend back home Thanks

Nice and handy for trackdays at Estoril circuit then?

[jgsaramago]

Portimão is even better. A lot of variations of altitude and camber, like a rollercoaster

I am absolutely no track warrior, so don't expect any hardcore action.
