seems a bit pricey. way more than i'd pay for it. 

 

why are [color=rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;]uklotuscentre[/color] so crap?

Why go to all that trouble?  Surely would have been cheaper to buy a 211....?

Why go to the trouble? The VX will be at last a catd the 211 clam is probably the same price as to replace with vx stuff but they think they have something worth twice as much when is done.

It's UKLotusCenter, I'd say they were bored one day, looked around their shed at the bits they had, bolted together what they could and BAM! VX 211
