Hi Jordan, Yup, still on here and still have the car as you may have seen. New reg and a few subtle mods, do you forgive me? It's not McKewans blue tubby you have spied is it? Mike

possibly mate. I think it's from Thorntonhall or East Kilbride as thats roughly the area I see it in. Yeah you totally transformed the vx220. Your blue Scooby gave me a taste of modified cars so I eventually ended up with this Gtr. I'd always wanted one buts it's time to go back to something more basic in engineering. Less gadgets. Strange though when I first drove the gtr it immediately reminded me of the vx. They both have gokart handling. Strange for a big car but it's so light on its feet.

It would be good if you do end up back in a VX, just don't get the tuning bug on the NA, a messy road to being bankrupt.

The bhp is a little down to what I'd hoped. More like 440 but its still absolutely rapid. This would make a killer track car with its tein adjustable suspension. We clocked the 0-60 time at 3.4sec. We couldnt do a 0-100 run though. :(

Sounds nice, but I know how they drink petrol. I think I will stick to my Focus TDCI and get 55 MPG on the way to work and back ;)
