Ha ha... very philosophical indeed! The "666" is actually going back to its original owner (not sure how I felt about having the devil's number on my car to be honest)!!!

I am waiting with baited breath to see what plate I get allocated by the DVLA!!!

Hi there, glad to see another new owner with a yellow NA like myself. Looks nice...shame the numberplate is going, I'd have quite liked that! I used to have Tiger Cat E1 with a Toyota 4AGE engine on twin 45 dellortos, so the VX is a tiny bit slower, and more refined, but I'm still loving it. It's nice to have doors and a roof that actually stops (most of) the rain coming in. Enjoy.
