Hi all,
I'm Mike from Hampshire and I've now been enjoying my yellow VX turbo for a couple of months.
My car is pretty standard, though I've started to realise I'm in danger of spending a huge amount of cash modding it. As I bought it partly because of its budget supercar tag, I'm not sure it's going to live up to the first part of that . Oh well.
I managed to check out most of the history of the car thanks to posts by previous owners on .org, so that was really useful. This includes spending a year living in Marbella. It's probably had a more exotic life than me, in fact. The first owner put a private plate on it, which I like as it sounds like a pit board!
I was lucky to get the car cos an NA owner saw it first and was hoping to buy it, but that fell through for some reason. So if they are reading this, sorry!
Jez and co at Back on Track have done a fine job getting it running brilliantly, plus some cosmetic changes and fiitting a Jonnyboy hard top for me (thanks Jon). I'm amazed how much difference just fitting some Mintex pads have made, too. I'm trying to resist spending a huge amount more on it, now. I think I might as well have my salary paid straight to Back on Track for the next couple of years...
Some pics here, if I've managed to upload them properly:
I took the car for a session at Brands last week. Great fun! I decided to have a bit of a laugh with the caption on the first photo...
(don't want to upset any Exige drivers!)
Cheers,
Mike
