Let this be a lesson to some of the braggers on here! :thumb:
pfff like the snobs at the sun dont speed.
Coyne told us, “I was not doing that kind of speed” and claimed the web posting was “to get a reaction”. Other people on the site described him as “a fool” and a “kamikaze pilot”.
hmm a site full of vx220 drivers with fast cars dont like a member who broke the speed limit. gaaays
Yeah but my point is its silly to go bragging about it on a public forum.... lol
theres one on my local cruise site 130+ club. but thats in the specal section
anyway he hasnt been busted has he?
Stuart owns a VX200....need I say any more?:DQuote:

^ Because the VX is pretty much the same car, but considerably cheaper, and arguably better. Oh, and looks nicer IMO!
Unfortunately, the police can't touch him - there was a guy from Burnham on Sea who videoed himself during a journey on his motorbike at crazy speeds, but videoed the entire journey - including leaving and going back to his house lol
Police had a word with him but couldn't do nowt about it as they couldn't prove it was him riding the bike. In the same vein, unless the picture of the speedo shows THAT guy driving the car and they can identify the road and location etc, the worst they can do is caution him. Plus, as Stuart said when this was mentioned in another thread, its a digital image so could have been doctored. Definitely wouldn't hold up in court!
I'm off to take a picture of my Nova speedo at 71mph then. It's fair enough wanting to get to those speeds, and maybe taking a picture, but I agree with Miss Novabex; posting and bragging about it on a public forum is asking for trouble.
no way dose the vx220 lookbetter than a elise NO WAY
suck eggsQuote:

so 65mph real speed thenlolQuote:

if i was that guy who'd been singled out id personally go out and try and beat the speed then email the photo to the chief constable.knowing full well thats never going to get to court
and id also be tempted to send the sun a little brown present in the postlol
lol lol lol lol now that id like to see!!!Quote:

they were both built by the same people, the fact the VX came out after the elise means they already knew what they were doing ;)
look i like the vauxhall nova and its plan to see that some people here are goin to keep on saying the vauxhall is best becuse this is a vauxhall nova forum VAUXHALL or LOTUS urmm
Id have the elise over the VX :thumb:
thank you a person with a brain
lol @ the elise or vx
anyway the blokes a tool for bragging in the first place
ACTUALLY, its the exige, but im not gonna be picky. I would rather have a S2000!!! Jap Crap all the way! I hate the VX and the Elise. You look lilke a complete tool getting IN and OUT of one........... Sorry Stuart...................Quote:

arnt you uber cool lol i have, and i really really liked it! Well both tbh, but my personal preference is the Elise, the VX is nice, but ultimatly its a Vauxhall lolQuote:

but maybe id also be tempted by a vx turbo?? they are super quick after all
The original elises had suspension mods done because insurance companies wanted them to have a bit of understeer so hot hatch drivers trading up wouldn't crash them. My mate worked at Jonathon Palmers promosport & they actually had to upgrade them so they would handle.
Anyway its easy to make a speedometer read really high, you jack the car up & rev it up in top.
BUT the bloke was a pillock & the SUN do have double standards to maintain.
yeah speeding is bad and i never speed never never not worth it ..................................
