Well I'm coming back for a 3rd time running but this time 20vt style! I went to see Blue20vt's Sprinty today and I loved it so grabbed at it there and then and hopefully pick it up this weekend or early next week. So that's 2 16vt's and now a 20vt, can't wait to see what the difference is liking finally owning one as I've always wanted a Sprinty 20vt just never been able to insure one! Roll on the weekend

Even being taken up and down the road this unstoppable grin appeared when I felt the surge of power and that 5 cylinder howl in full swing...ergh *dribbles*

Mondeo was short-lived like the job and I got back into doing design so can afford something a little nicer! Notice you're back in the fort now too and with a 20vt

They seem to put the power down so much differently from what I've seen and felt for myself. Can't wait to see what ownership is actually like. Theresa, Dave's a lovely bloke and I really look forward to finally having it in my possession

Thanks Sam, I hope to get some cracking pics of the Coupe when she's in my ownership. Cheers though, the CRX is a fun little car but doesn't have that "Coupe-esque" plus every bugger who lives round near me drives a Honda or Jap car. I want to be a break from the norm

She's MINE Took collection of her today from Dave, after a few funny issues (long story) and I love it! SO much different the way it drives compared to a 16vt, feels newer, more refined and even faster, the power seems to be there for longer and later in the rev range, it's so exciting and that engine note.....I think god made this engine! It's quite simply superb. One or 2 little nitpicks, I've found a small oil drip where I park her, just my luck, will have to go on the hunt for what that is and I've noticed between gear changes it's a little laggy to pick back up, is this just me or is there a technique in keeping the power on? Overall though, well pleased, Dave's a very genuine bloke and the car's outstanding! Happy times

Oh give them time Sam there will be another sig soon!
It's incredible how much "newer" the 20vt feels on the road, totally different car!
Thanks for the tips on the oil leaks, I think it is on the driver's side, I'll have to get her in the air asap!
