Default blimey, those VX220 things are a bit nippy!

followed one today and struggled BIG time to keee up! and don't even bother about 'would have been different in the twisties'. this was in the twisties

hope it was the turbo version, coz if it wasn't, a turbo would have killed me!

very quick,very good handling car, not what i was expecting at all!

one humbled scooby driver signing off to try and blag a test drive in one of these

I had a go against one and stayed with it all the way. The next day he must have tried it again with someone else in the wet and totalled it
