I guess you can't please everyone.

There is a video of a Speedster wearing winter tyres giving it big licks down a road covered in fresh snow, looked very composed and was a thoroughly entertaining clip.

Your video on the otherhand just looks as sketchy as! Walls in close proximity, jerky movements, relatively high speeds, varying surface conditions, showing off to a passenger...

Best of luck for the upcoming months

I guess you can't please everyone.

It pleased me mate,got bigger balls than me...mine don't come out this time of year,like others said,I would of been gutted you if you'd crashed it,but I've seen vx's crash on a track in the summer so guess it comes down to skill and knowing not to drive beyond the limits what ever the road conditions.
End of the It's your car,money and insurance,and most of all it didn't look like you put ANY other road users at risk!

Nice Video. It's not as if you are driving like a nutcase, putting anyone in danger etc. As long as you are comfortable with risk vs reward fair enough...

[siztenboots]

nothing wrong with doing a trackday in the snow , it was a complete white-out when we went out on sighting laps

If it were pulled by a team of huskies and covered in bubble wrap some people would still moan.
Well done for driving the thing!

Winter tyres are the least of your worries though, that was just a reference to the video Time and a place and all that

You bunch of moaning sods. The VX is a hoot in the snow. Im sure Sammy understands the risks involved and would be the first to put his hand up had it went badly. Fair play to him for enjoying his car. Karting the snow and ice is also awesome

Yep you need to sort that out again!

Im going to MK Daytona on the 23rd of feb hopefully it will be pretty chilly makes it more of a challenge

You looked pretty committed at times. Bigger balls than me!

Yeah. I don't think I was ever close too losing it though, I had a lot of fun which is the reason I own my car

How did it compare to the 160?

160 was ultimately better it had an LSD and no turbo lag. An LSD will transform the vx in my opinion

It's easyier than one would think !

That'll be your years of experience

Ooh yeah, forgot about the LSD in yours.

I still managed to spin my 160 in those conditions at about 5 mph

A no-lag supercharger would transform the VXT in my opinion.

Very nicely made vid. Looked like great fun. :0)

Touché

[Zoobeef]

Also impressive

[LY_Scott]

The Gordon Sheddon playing at Knockhill last year video was good. Must be on youtube still.

[Claws]

I couldn't find the video of the speedster giving it big licks, I'm sure it was from Sweden. Can anyone else remember it?
