You will have a job trying to catch him in that VR4 if it's the car I think it may be!

It's debateably the fastest VR4 on here, Steelie...Definitely one of the top 5.
And he's sold it.
And TBH I don't think you're being a bit harsh on it in looks terms: a couple of blue vinyl clings and it's quite a distinctive car. As I think Valmes used it partly to promote his business, I think it's fair enough. I've seen a lot worse!

Bear in mind it's also in russia :D

That car is epic. And Valmes is a true pioneer. Its definatley a bit harsh to just slate his car when you dont know of the work that went into it. Hats off to the man.

Yes I'm sure a lot of us would love to be able to do what Valmes has done and his contribution to the club from the work has been great and an inspiration to many here

Altho not a vid of his car, this vid Valmes posted of his mates car still makes me grin:

I wonder if this ever made it onto the M6 boards, or if anyone on there saw or commented on it.

Yep it does. I believe its a club car from NZ crew. This pic has been in a thread a while back about dirty cars I think :-) Personally, I like the look of a dirty legnum, looks like its been driven hard and used.. or am I just too lazy when it comes to cleanin cars?/Hmmm

It's mine /yes

I don't have that plate on it anymore though.

And the reason it's so dirty is that it's at the end of about 20km of dirty gravel road, and there's not much point in cleaning it when you still need to drive back out again :P

Also I'm really lazy when it comes to car cleaning, plus VR4s are fun in the dirt :D

Well I think that Val said the car was mildly modded (boost, induction, fuelling, clutch and exhaust). I think the car was also manual so I can only imagine what revs it was launched at!??!??:thinking:
