Why lumping in VX with 135? - very different cars. If you're thinking VX, you should also give some S2's a gander. Figure out what it is you want the car for and then we can point you in the direction of what's best - an S1 135 and a VX220 are about the polar opposite of the Elise lineage... (that'...

And I suppose your going to "claim" that the rope lying about is for the tow ropes your making for people and absolutly nothing else. :wink:
