We had to climb a VERY wobbly step ladder on a loading bay to take that picture!

4 years yesterday since the i got the vx.

Its been a long long journey (not that many miles though ). Generally the car just gets better and better.

We decided to use it as our wedding car, which i think it did admirably. I did a few things to it prior inc full front end respray, venture shield and full correction detail with Shine on. I was delighted with the results. Our photographer captured a couple of pictures:





Half the wedding was in France and this was its second trip over this year, as usual, not missing a beat.





A couple of months later and it was trip number three to france:
Looking a bit silly:



So i'm not sure the next year will be as eventful, but i wouldn't swap it for any other car on earth.

I had no intention of starting a project. There is no doubt though that this is turning into one.

The vx as it was put away at the end of September.


Then made it hover and swapped vse for full milltek:




Since it's on sticky tyres these days, decided it needed new toe links. New toe links led me to decide to finally go to Nitron NTRs. And that further lead to this being the state of both sides of the rear suspensions this evening:


One of the uprights ready for a proper clean up and a powder coat:
