    Twins, of some sort

    The kids played very nice in the driveway this weekend. This is the first time they actually met. They complimented each other quite well. Grabbed a quick, crappy shot before packing everything in for the evening and thought I would share the 2 toys together.

    Yes, the VX still gets the garage.

    Nice...

    Here are my twins...sorta.



    I told the wife she can start parking her Porsche (its in the shop at the moment) in the driveway. She just gave me a "yeah, right" look and a middle finger when I said that.

    Not a huge fan of the new scuby,. no idea why they made it a hatch back but it looks ok in black. The VX looks better !!!!!!!!!!

    They did a special run of clear indicator lenses and side markers for us about 18 months ago, iirc. I would email them and see if they have any more. If they won't ship to you, just PM me, I am always willing to help an international mate out with shipping. And just a word of advice, the clear turn signal covers are really really nice. They fit perfectly. But I was rather unhappy with the molding of the side markers. They fit very loose and the screw holes did not align right. So if you order from them, just get the clear front indicator covers.

    Here are my 2 from a while back:

    Since then I have done quite a few mods to the RX8 and yes I have killed all of the weeds on the driveway since the photo

    Here are my other twins:

    W'god--
    nice pickup of the STI. I finally test drove one 3 months ago and it is the ONLY (other) thing I want right now! Hopefully by year's end...

    Bart--
    just saw the other thread...nice find on the Trooper.
    And how the H do you get the VX in and out of the garage with that rack on!?!

    You know, I totally forgot also that you don't even have the side markers like we do. You should be able to find clear round lenses pretty easily for your round side markers. Or, you could just paint them black like I did!

    Sometimes I wonder.... lightening up the VX and doing an STi engine swap.... oh, if money and time were on my side.
