Newbie with a VX220 NA in Glasgow

Post by iain3915 » Sun Feb 19, 2012 8:50 pm

Had this car for a few weeks now and absolutely love it! Had my first proper drive in the dry today with the roof off and it's just so exhilarating!

The car is an 02 with about 40000 miles and it has some nice extras:

Full Milltek exhaust
Nitron Single way adjustable shocks
Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 alloys with Toyo R888s
Thorney Motorsport Stage 2 Remap
Mintex 1144 pads
And a hardtop which is for sale in the classifieds :thumbsup:

Spotted a couple of Elises today. A silver/grey S2 turning onto Stewarton Road near Newton Mearns just as I had come to the end of my little blat! And an S1 on the A809 near Drymen on my second drive of the day! Both gave a wave/flash of lights so may be members on here.

Looking forward to joining you guys on a run at some point.

Hi Iain, that was me in the silver S2 - off to do an Ayrshire loop. The Stewarton road is a particular favourite and great for these cars!

Well done on the roof off, I was feeling a touch soft this morning, otherwise I'd have joined you.

Cheers
Mark

Hi Mark,

You're car looked great earlier today. I was tempted to turn around when I saw you go past...

Great fun with the roof off but very cold! Can't wait to see what this car is like in the summer.
