So I decided to take the punt after ages of looking for the right VX. I spotted one that Jon Seal was selling and I need to say it's the most amazing car I've ever driven,(being used to an audi a2 1.4 tdi!) Jon was brilliant and went out of his way to fit the spoiler and hardtop for me and I'm so chuffed! So if you see me out and about WAVE and I will wave back =)
 
Ive dreamed about owning this car for 5 years now and i saved and saved and got it. So chuffed with it.

Welcome MattMacc, Buying into winter is good move, you'll be loving it when the sun comes out. As mentioned, kicking out the back end is fun in a car park, but be careful on the roads utill you get used to the way the feels. Enjoy.

Hi Matt. Car looks great! Welcome to a very special and exclusive club. And look after the car. Like others have said too many have ended up in a hedge this time of the year. I ended up in a hedge whilst at uni but that's a story best left for another day 😛😜 Jon

Thanks guys! Lou_m I am in lanark if you know where that is? Are you based in scotland yourself? Ha yeah! I have heard some cracking horror stories and I'm sure their is a video on youtube of someone parking one in a hedge coming off a roundabout! Bet you that would be terrifying!

I am near Dunfermline. Quite a few new owners in the area now. That would be Mark parking his old VX after spinning coming off the roundabout. 

 

A few of us used to hire out the track at Kames which is close to you. Shame they don't seem to hire it out anymore.
