Ok, so I couldn't hold out much longer, I pick her up Friday afternoon.
Any advice for a VX220 virgin?
Great forum bye the way.
Wishing everyone a sunny weekend.

Yes you'll soon find out how sh*t a driver you really are 
Go carefull the car is a beast, with a nasty set of teeth, which it likes to use on the virgins and once every six months or so

Watch out for standing water, light car + wide tyres not very good for aquaplaning. Take it steady when wet. I have had mine for 2 years this summer (vxt) and drive it every day and still love it. You make excuses to go the longest winding route you can find wherever you go. Have fun

Welcome chicogb,
I bet you'll have a great weekend!! 
As for advice- don't drive it but when you do- floor it around roundabouts in the wet, ignore speedbumps, pack a lot of luggage and follow gritting lorries as close as you can
Seriously, I bet you won't even want to stop for peco.... roll on Friday

just a great car all round, just be careful of the rear wheel drive with even the smallest amount of moisture in the ground, just a little too much throttle and ooops!!

Take it benw to start with
To be honest as long as it's dry just rag the @rse off it
When it stops scaring you look at getting it modded

Put it this way, blaming an invisible patch of Diesel is a good way to hide from yourself and others a driving error you never even knew you made.
