    Only had the VX for wo days and........

    LOOK AT THE WEATHER perfect! at least i know the TOD works




    The Mrs






    I'm LOVING the car, having a great time driving i and really pleased with my choice.

    So far just a couple of issues, a noisy interior fan and a squeeky bonnet. But other than that its great!!

    Just need to rip out the Japanise satnav system as it won't work here, neither will the FM radio as the frequency is too low. The VX seams to have alot of the factory extra's which is nice. Sat nav, 6 disk CD player with the boot devider, TV + AV, reverse camera, heated mirrors, spot light bar etc.
    Speed Thrills, Boredom Kills!!

    Clean the bonnet latch (hook) and lube it.That's where the noise on mine comes from. Works every time for me.

    Cool! The squeaky bonnet can be fixed easily by turning those little black knobs on either side of the front of the engine bay a little bit to make a tighter fit. Also, wrap a little duct or gaffer tape around the "U" bolt on the bonnet and that should make the mice go away!

    Nice! Look like you're hooked.

    I let a female who was considered a friend drive my VX once...just once...
    Still have the twisted metal to prove it...
    In hindsight, I figure it was 50% my fault...for allowing it in the first place...

    i let my girlfriend drive my VX...but usually thats if im drunk or if we are wheeling and she wants to try something (and i always spot for those)...

    also if she is driving a long distance without me and the weather is really bad...the VX is replacable but she isn't....

    but, with that said, she knows how much it means to me so she drives really carefully when she does drive it...
