I picked the car up this morning, everything all went as planned. 135mph on the way home with more left to give (on a private road, naturally) Popped to the local scrappy for a rear wiper arm and on the way back, hit a pigeon with the windscreen :o :@

Thanks matey :)

Some sh*t nearly went into the side of me on the Tesco roundabout in ely earlier, I was furious. He clearly wasn't looking where he was going and was going too fast!! I would of been heart broken if I'd had a crash on my first day of being a vr owner.

that list will cometo 2 grand+ lol should maybe have spent an extra 500 and got one modded...think this has already been said....

It has mate indeed, but we were in need of a car quick, following the last one getting written off by some d1ck in a 7.5 tonne lorry and we were on a very limited budget, so our primary target was to get a nice clean un-modified one, specifically OBD2, and that is what we got (we think lol)

I do agree though mate, another £500 quid might have got us something already modified, but we didn't have the £500.... :)

I see what your saying but, where is the fun in driving around in someone else's achievement ?

I'm really looking forward to working on the vr and i've never felt like that with a car before. Bring on the challange i say ;)

Tbh, if i had bought a car already modified, it probably would of have the $hit ranted out of it LOL!!

im not saying you have to like some ones mods, but mine had leather and wheels i didnt like on it, but i sold the leather for £400 and wheels for £320, so thats £720 i had to put towards gettin better mods...

it came with a nice full exhaust so thats saved me 300 also.....

possibly the same price as you paid you could have got leathr etc, but i rushed into buyin mine cus of soem nob crashin into me, so i know where your comin from....
