Some of you will have seen pics of my Vx220 after being written off and after a couple of months spent waiting for the insurance to pay out Ive finally replaced it 😃
The 1st impressions
Its very very quick and makes the elise S Ive been using seem like a hot hatch. Its almost pant wetting quick, in any gear at any speed touching the throttle causes it to go screaming towards the horizon 😃 My vx was a quick car which handled great but this is a whole other experience, yes I do look like a 60 y/o breadie driving it but TBH I dont really give a shit 😃
I* will* need to adjust my driving style to deal with the caterham but its something I'm looking forward to doing, at the moment Ive been taking it very easy
A couple of little bits n pieces that will need to be sorted out but it seems to be a well put together car.
These are the pics from the sale ad on PH
