Long time lurker on the forum, but the time has finally come where I find myself in a position to buy so the time has come to introduce myself!
There have been a couple of instances in the past where I've toyed with VX ownership, however I've always convinced myself into something more 'practical' and subsequently regretted it. Having just sold my bike however, I don't plan on making the same mistake again this time around!
I'm set on a Tubby, and despite the weather am currently on the look out. I guess due to the time of year there don't seem to be many up for sale currently on the forum, however if anybody is aware of one a point in the right direction would be very much appreciated!
I'm realistically looking to spend up to £14k, a little more if the right car comes along. Ideally I'm looking for a stage 2 car as although a standard VXT ticks all the right boxes and will no doubt be more than enough for me in the short-mid term, I'm a realistic man and if my past few car experiences are anything to go by (350z, S2000 & MX5 Turbo), the urge to mod will quickly get out of hand and buying a pre-sorted car will likely save me some money in the long run!
Although there are no stage 2's about currently there are a couple of stage 4 cars advertised on ebay at the moment. Now I'm under no illusions about my driving ability, and for a mid-engine beginner I think the power would be a bit too much to properly learn the car without regularly refreshing my underwear drawer. However I was interested to know how easily such a car could be 'detuned' to something a little more manageable. Worth looking at or would I be better served in a standard and working my way up progressively?
Anyway, sorry for the ramble. And hi!
