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 smile

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 smile

Thanks and yes, I think they do look similar, according to what Dave told me he was doing to the car previously laugh

He used to ask me loads of questions about mine laugh

Glad your back doing something you enjoy (and your clearly very good at it)

Yeh, i have been in 20vt land for some time now, i had a break and tried on some other cars for size, but i found my self looking back at 20vt's again

nowt wrong with the 16vt, but take it from me, you will love just how effortless the 20vt is to drive

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 smile

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 smile
