Newbie from Greenock with vx220

Post by Craigy » Wed Nov 05, 2014 10:42 pm

Hi all. Just recently joined.
Bought a smashed vx220 with no engine as a project about a year ago. Only had it on the road since May.
It's mainly a track car but still mot'd taxed etc so I can take it a blast.

I have managed 4 knockhill days, an ingliston sprint, a Sliverstone session and the Nurburgring this year but that's it basically away now for winter.
Hope to meet some of you up at knockhill next year!!

(that's why I think Mike will do fine, that and his lack of imagination). :roll: :lol:
