That looks like a great car, if it were red I would be organising a viewing. Where are you based?

[rob999]

That car is in Cambridge. As Luca said, don't rush in. Get to a local meet and look at some forum members cars. Doesn't matter which meet you go to, every owner I've met on here has been great.

[Delarossi]

Thanks again I will do that after my viewing Saturday!

Delarossi, what is the reg number of the red car?

[Delarossi]

It's KE03 HMG Is this where you tell me it's an ex race car with a million miles on it?

[.Adam.]

Yeah, it was a practice car for Ken Block in his Gymkhana videos, so he didn't wear out his Fiesta too much.... Only joking(obviously), I was just curious!

[Delarossi]

Hahahaha cool if anyone knows it any info is appreciated

Ok the game's up, wot bike you got? Any pics, good choice of car for your first motor and good luck with the hunt, the ring on a bike sh*t that takes some kahooners, Its nasty in a car lol !

Thanks for the list got some good points, I'm going with a friend who's a development engineer at ford, so he's experienced and a 2nd pair of eyes for us to go over it with a tooth comb. Will grill the dealer and have a good look round it before even considering it.

I'm quite particular so I'm looking for a good example.

Mod wise I wand to make it my own with some cosmetic work, ie. black rims, possibly a kit or some sprayed bits, and was thinking a re-map to start, then maybe a larini exhaust.
Any advice on some good mods?

Oi oi - my ears pricked up at hearing red tubby in Kent, although that dealer must be just 4-5 miles up the road from me I haven't heard of them before but strange as it may seem I don't get out and about around my own neighbourhood much (I usually get out of medway as soon as possible LOL)

Oddly enough mine is good example, calypso red, black rims, black screen surround, black V-grill, larini exhaust - could get paranoid if it wasn't for the fact it isn't mapped.

If I'm around when you go to see it then might be worth meeting up for a comparison. I'm no expert car buyer but could maybe spot something.

Btw. a VX isn't anywhere near the closest thing to a bike on 4 wheels - plenty of kit cars, caterhams, westfields, aerial atom, etc. are a lot closer (from an ex-biker's point of view). Nothing bad in that mind you... all the elise derivatives are the closest you'll get with good year-round practicality and comfort, relatively speaking...

Westie, I had a Ducati 848 which is what I did the ring on, got a respectable 9:32 around there after 8 Laps which I don't think is too bad. Right now I got a track zx7 which I turned from a road bike into a track bike, nothing fancy just some better brakes as the standard are cheese! I'm bike mad! Got a bike chain tattooed round my right arm + 46 and 58! Epic! Thanks man can't wait!

[Delarossi]

Moodspeed, your car isn't for sale is it? Haha sounds perfect. Yeah I'm down Saturday morning at ten with a mate. Yeah my brother said for the money it's the cosest thing, I need something I can use everyday! Maybe could meet up after be good to see your vx as it sounds exactly how I want mine!

[turboluca]

Ah the Ducati is my dream bike no question, the noise the feel the look everything. I will have another one. I loved starting it every time.

Oh and turboluca I wouldn't mind like dark grey like gunmetal but don't think they come in that?

[rob999]

Look up moonland. That'll be dark grey.
