Some pretty cool shots on page 12.
The paintwork is a bit marmite, but its great to see something different.

After spending quite a while now defending the Saxo VTS's honour as a fairly quick car against my friends and after chasing a few cars round and doing surprisingly well, I thought it was time to put my money where my mouth is.
So with free weekend and our friends at clio16valver there, we decided to head down to Santa Pod for a RWYB day.
I must admit my car did look rather out of place compared to all the others but still did manage to grab a few peoples attention.
Also loving the number on the rear window, kind of goes with the look of the car.
Anyways, I only got 1 run does as it was rather busy there but was rather impressed with it!
Reaction ---- + .5684
60 ft -------- 2.4101
330 ft ------- 6.6383
1/8 ET ------ 10.1321
1/8 MPH ----- 70.51
1000 ET ----- 13.0534
1/4 ET ------ 15.7232
1/4 MPH ----- 86.36
15.7 secs, compares to 14.7 secs of my VX220 and 16.1 secs for my old VTS
Cheers for looking

wow just read the entire thread and got to say that you've convinced another previous euro sceptic that it can work on a french car when it's done well. that is serious commitment and i think you'd regret selling it! especially like the mag shots of the rear quarter panel - the paint looks almost midnight blue in some places. what have you done with the interior?

Cheers for the comments eveyone, when we painted it satin black we weren't sure if anyone was going to get what we were going for, so its nice to hear people are liking it.
Have pretty much decided not to sell it now, just need to get some winter wheels.
Found out that matey trying to nick my valve has cause more problems still, (will this never end FFS!  ) where I drove the car with a flat tyre for a bit has caused the sealing on the wheel to get hot and fail a bit and I now have a slow puncture, so that wheel will have to come apart and be resealed (when the winter wheels are on me thinks).
As for the interior, we have huge plans inkeeping with the euro, reto, racecar theme but lack of funds and initially intending to sell it stopped that, but hopefully in the new year some time we'll make some progress on that as currently it is a bit of a let down.
I need to do another photo shoot for the car soon as the only decent pictures of the car as it looks today are the magazine ones and I'm getting bored of posting the same pictures on everything now LOL
Cheers for looking and all the nice comments
