I know all about it! Was a really clicky forum to be a member of when I had my Liz. Thats why I used to go on the MLOC instead!

Just slag off the honda conversion on seloc and watch that one go up in flames

[christurbo]

I can imagine. ..... I contemplated that conversion when I had my Liz ...... the sums did not add up though. Id love to have it though as it is fantastic in my CTR.

i might just have to conjure something annoying up now....

I just don't get this stuff. I really like the Loti cars, it's just I really like the VX too (well, a teeny bit more if I'm being honest). But it's hardly "good car, bad car" - more just "my great car's better than your great car nyahh nyahh". Any VX/Lotus is infinitely more involving than 99.9% of the sheds that are out there, so there's really very little to argue about surely? To be fair, every Lotus driver I've ever waved at has waved back (In fact, even Transit drivers wave. They must be a bit lazy though as they usually only bother to use one finger... )

A really good war is going and some sensible and funny debate. Has turned seminal

[christurbo]

Oooh it is kicking off now


At least I had a compliment

for what its worth, I reckon that black VX of christurbo's looks excellent, (superhard ), and Id have one like that no problem, (maybe with a supercharged 2.2 though )

I have to say I was surprised to find the two VX's I tried did seem to have a pretty poor feel to their 'build quality', but then my S1 is certainly no VW in that dept. either.

That threads got a tad embarrasing tbh. For them and more so for us. We will never agree because we had the choice and took different options. Better to discuss vaux/loti here as opposed to getting drawn in on a Loti site I was tempted to post, but you wont ever tell a person who owns a different car they made the wrong choice

[christurbo]

Your so right J

[Mackem]

These threads demean us all (imho)

[Amoger]

They started it.

What a load of It makes things interesting

[andyr]

I say each to their own, I can honestly say I would be interested in a 111r or an exige in the future but for now am more than happy with the VX. If it's a discussion about the look of the car it's down to personal choice if its performance I think they are speaking with forked tongue. I can look further than the badge in regards to these two cars but admittedly would avoid a Skoda despite the fact that they are just badged Vdubs. Good post Chris!

Looks like that got nipped in the bud!

Well and truely moderated i would say.

Being a newby-ish thats never been involved in the whole discussion thing re Lotus or vx, NA or Tubby. I've only really one comment to make. I DON'T GET IT. I mean i understand the differance between NA & Tubby, which is the better UUUUhhhhh. more intelligant people than me have argued that one for hundreds of years, Or they will do. But Lotus v VX, which is the better,its like havins sam fox's tit in one hand and linda lusardi's in the other and being asked which is the best. Me I chose the vx na ( lindas titty), why cos the same money could of bought me a car ( Lotus) that was styled 12 years ago & was grossly overpriced. I got a lot more car for my money & one that looks like it was sculptered by Da Vinci and not some scruffy arsed art student. Having said that the S2 looks a hell of a lot better and the exige is a stunning piece of machinery. What will nark me for years to come is the fact that Lotus has evolved from a S1 to the exige plus, they are from the same family but one is the little kid brother & one has grown up on steroids. The vx's look like one another throughout the range, It would of been nice to of seen the VXR with a "six pack" or something, or at least the next range of VX's looking a little differant. It is something that we will never see now vauxhall have pulled the plug. Having said that I still want a VXR ( Sams Titty )

[christurbo]

Nice titties ..... I mean analogies
