The Europa was a hoot in Europe! Air con was a god send although if the roof could come off then it would have been fine.. Plenty of of luggage space for the two of us. The missus packed the boot like a suitcase and we took soft bags to ferry to gear to the hotel room. We ended up only using a third...

Was me again Neil, 2nd time spotted by you but I didn't notice you. In the Exige?

Just back from a 2 week blast around Europe (including German GP) so was a bit mucky. Had half of France's insect eco-system smeared accross the front

Hi Neil,

That was me. Cheers! Was on route to a blast down in the borders, roads down Duns way are great. Especially in this weather

Spotted a lovely clean yellow S1 in Linlithgow today, looked absolutely sparkling, then on my way home a grey Europa on the M9 :wave Any takers? :) If the Europa was silver (grubby admitedly) it would have been me, I was on the M9 after a highland jaunt. I would have been there about 4ish I think.....

Aye, that was me!

probably the same one i saw a couple of weekends ago... just coming into Polmont from Falkirk end... think there's only one Europa owner on here and he's been spotted in Edinburgh a few times... I think his name is Tom...... Nope. Not me this time. My car has spent the week at home while I commute ...

Cheers for the advice, this is all interesting reading. I rekon I'll need to comb the VX220 forums to get the lowdown on this flatspot issue. I have to say it doesn't bug me too much, just a momentary dip as the needle moves past 4k. Not in every gear i might add..... Yeah, I like the Europa's rarit...

You're welcome for a poke about anytime Oooeeerr :oops: Any excuse for a blast out of the house, let me know if you want to go for an impromptu run some night, I'm just across the bridge. Cheers, Peter hehe.....cheers mate. Currently doing the rounds, showing the thing off to friends and fam. I'm t...

flatspot in the powerband at 4k.......that all!. Very mixed reviews of the TMS maps in the vx world, although it's got to be better than the standard map with a hoooooge hole in it. if it REALLY bugs you courtenay sport would be a good place to visit :thumbsup Interesting. I was under the impressio...
