Just been sorting out some folders on my laptop and came across some pictures of my old VTS. I got rid of it October 2007 (ish) and got a clio 172... which was ok, a lot comfier than the VTS but never really felt as quick...

Had my Astra VXR since October last year, and It's a cracking car, different league to the Saxo really, but there's still something there, I REALLY MISS MY VTS ! The day after i sold it the lad lost a fight with a council truck and it was written off :(

So if you are thinking of getting rid of the saxo because you're sick of rattles, or the fact that if you crash you will be joining the worms regardless of speed or what you hit... think long and hard boys and girls.

The spec...

MK1 98 VTS

De-Catted Raceland Exhaust
Raceland 4-2-1 Manifold
Simota Induction Kit
Original MK1 Grille & VT*Wheels in white
Lowered 50mm on Eibachs
Smoked Rear Lights & Gunmetal Badges
Colour coded mirror caps
Colour coded front splitter

Yep I felt exactly that way after selling my old vts conversion, I though I had made the right decision buying a german car and I hated it, although it was well built and didnt rattle it was so boring, It took me 5 months to eventually afford another saxo that I liked. I wish I hadnt got rid of my old car tbh.

You change your car more than I change my undies, which is about once every 4 weeks including the inside-out trick.

Lol, I still have the 307 and I have done for 18 months.

VTS is a second car.

When the VTS went, I missed it a lot at first, but the more it chages hands (3rd owner now Luke is) the less I do, but still like to see it now and again!

I remember your beasty, was very nice :)
