Hello from Plymouth!

 

Ever since the release of the VXT I have wanted one and I have never been in a position to own one but that day finally arrived.

 

I started a thread a couple weeks ago with regards to buying a black VX a lot of you where really helpful so you may remember it, anyway I finally found the ONE! I want to start off with a HUGE thanks to Turboluca the guy is an absolute legend and if i'm honest he just couldn't help enough he really knows his stuff! I got in contact with him as he had a Moonland Turbo available, personally I think its without doubt the best colour available for a VXT and he literally went over everything and i mean everything!! I've never bought a car where someone has been so honest and it made buying my first VX so much sweeter, I got the feeling there was a lot more he wanted to talk about and show me but unfortunately I had to get back, I wish i could of stayed longer as his knowledge was invaluable, Top Top lad thanks again Turboluca! :)

 

So here it is, my first drive was a 3hr trip from wales in heavy rain and to be honest i drove like a little old lady all the way home I was well aware of the VXT's rep in wet weather so didn't want to risk writing it off before i even got home, i'm used to powerful cars but this is a different kettle of fish I expected it to be good but not that good its simply astonishing the steering a very low speed is tough but a very minor point considering I now own a VXT!

 

All I want now is for the rain to do one so I can really open it up and get that roof off!

If it has a standard rack and tyres, steering shouldn't be 'tough' unless you're used to a modern vehicle with a ridiculously over assisted rack?

 

Welcome BTW.

Yeah thats what i mean in comparison to a modern car with power steering :) Haven't had a non power steering car since my Mini Cooper Sport.

I won't be doing anything to it apart from neatening up a few areas, its already got a stage 1 remap and don't feel the need to do anything else.
