I'll need to spend some time devising some witty retorts - shouldn't be too hard

Its wired really, considering the vx is so popular there is a range of stuff devoted to it...
His and hers vx220 cameras for example:
na, seriously I really like them. Driven one all winter whilst my Elise was having a make over. The green looks green on them, green is of course THE colour to be!
Ours is red:

'16 MINI Cooper S - Family fun hatch
'98 Lotus Elise - Fun day car
'04 Maserati Coupe GT - Manual, v8, Italian...
'18 Mazda Mx5 - The wife's, so naturally my daily
'19 Ducati Monster 797 - Baby bike bike

Alas there have been many a trackday where the VXs in the car park outnumber those on track.

I feel that this might be directed at me! :p

It seems when a vx owner joins, it brings all the other vx owners out the woodwork to say hi,
they get a slagging and go away to hide till the next vx owner!!

We just don't have that much to contribute to conversations on HGF or the best ways to up the power to 130bhp.

But you need more power due to your cars having the aerodynamic properties of a brick

HGF is the reason for bringing everyone together, if we didn't have hgf, then it would just be vx220.org
