Whoa, its been a long time since I've been on here #1374394

Hi guys / gals,

its been ages since I've been on here (does anyone even remember me as I think the forum got trashed years ago so probably all of my useless posts are gone)

Anyway, if you don't remember me I owned a 20vt for around 11 years. if fact, I'd still have it if some drunken douchbag hadn't set it on fire one Friday night late last year (8 other cars as well got burnt).

I had some awesome times at the coupé meets and RR days (back when 300bhp was considered hardcore) so I'm really impressed that the bhp limits are being pushed still!

600bhp is the top end now? that must go like a stabbed rat smile

Anyway, thought I'd check in and see how things are (I'm a 350z owner now but my blood is still Sprint blue wink )

Here is how my pride and joy ended. not the way I envisaged it to be honest frown

Cheers Guys!

Biglad aka Chris.

Yes, I did used to be Big Lad on here but I had to register after the forum bit the dust a long time ago (I've done a search or here and there does seem to be a restore of the forum db, so some of my posts remain! ).

The person who set fire to mine and 7 other cars was drunk and bored on a Friday night and set fire to cars on his way home from the pub. he pretty much left a trail of burnt cars right to his door.

alas, the police didn't have enough evidence to prosecute him, so he got away with it. grr

Dave, I remember you still. you were the king of group buys at one point. I still have an Equus boost gauge I got from you sat in my shed. I think its still in the Nomad A-pillar replacement pod come to think of it. One of the few bits an bobs I was able to salvage from the wreck.

20vt's are sooo cheap and I do get nostalgic when I see them on the road...so who knows, I may get one again smile

Hi Biglad wink
Crap what happened to your Coupe. Ridiculous he got away with vandalising so many cars!
Coupes are pretty cheap now, to some your nomad may get you a part ex. (for some)
Cheers
