Hi Fellow UK Owners,

Just a quick name check - no nice pics at the mo (have to set up my URL). I live in Stockport and I've only had my Sunburst 175 Vehicross for a few months. I live very close to two other VX owners. One (Silver) in the same village as I but have at the mo not been able to find out who it is or where they live. And a guy in Alderley Edge who only last week sold his silver VX (but perhaps it's still local).

My VX was imported about a year ago by a chap on the south coast (no not Hove). I had to fly down pay my money and drive it back to Stockport. Besides being a very nice 175 with the red leather interior the previous owner (who I tracked down on the Internet) fitted electrically adjustable Rancho Shocks - very trick. But I'm hoping to do some mods like CrotchRocky. First order of the day is fit a roof rack/basket then I'm thinking of a induction kit or cold air system. Currently nearly every weekend I'm working on the VX to make it just right and it's in need of some TLC to being it back to it's former glory.

I certainly would be interested in a UK meet but as always it's a matter of time. It would be nice to have 7 or more owners together and perhaps a 4X4 mag would be interested in running a story. Mileage isn't too much of a problem as long as it's not in Scotland or too far down south (Kettering for Example) but of the estimated 30 VXs in the UK I bet most are on the South coast.

Promise to sort out pics

Hi All,

I'd be up for a meet, I'm down in Bisley, Surrey but happy to do a few miles. I haven't any shots of my VX on this laptop but if you do a search on "cladding cut" there's a thread by me showing my latest mods which are rather novel. I'm currently running with a 3" lift but planning to go higher with a pro shock setup once I get the time. I currently have the Rancho remote adjustables but to be honest their a bit Mickey Mouse, I feel the stock shocks with the lift were better.

Just found some photos of the chop they're now in my gallery.

BritVX Just saw your Cladding Chop pic's, nicely done ! !

Greasemonkey, is the One Bull still going strong? use to be my local's once I was excepted. I lived at Park Corner Cottage, The Park, Great Barton for 6 years. Sorry for the thread jack

[don moore]

Hi Rowhard - we must be talking about a different place - the One Bull is on Angel Hill in Bury St Edmunds - the Bunbury Arms is in Gt Barton

Kirk, I still have to reply to that last e-mail, sorry...

I'll meet anywhere. Heck, I did 23k in mine last year (yep, right through the expensive petrol...) mostly back and forth to Scotland.

I need to visit this site more often...

yes, different place, I lived in one place and drank in another. One bull backed onto the abby, gates were around the corner. Don't even think Gt Barton had a pub when I was there.

greesemonkey,

do you think we can crash the itoc meet in a couple of weeks ??
