Ello Folks...

In December '04 I finally made the switch from V6 - 24 to Legnum VR4..after
my previous car was totalled :( . I have not managed to post about it until now... (altho a couple of people knew).

I have included a couple of pix here but there is a quicktime kludge HERE (http://www.aquavibe.demon.co.uk/clip/VR4eva.mov) . Beware that it's about 3Mb and that the ISP server is slowish so it may take a while to download, if you choose download it.

Work is still ongoing with the Legnum, switching various bits from the V6 24
as well as minor non-performance mods...

The Legnum is a 97'er with..... about 115K on the clock :rolleyes5 . Fingerz crossed nothing breaks!!!

Cheers

Pezz

Nice one, mate!

The leather looks brilliant! As do all the little things that you always find to do to make the car look 'clean'.

I wish I wasn't so busy for the next few weeks - I'm gagging for a mini meet!

Cheers ritch,

I would've liked BBS but after Jumbo sent me to link to the price of the original BBS wheels I decided on a different make!!! :rolleyes5 BBS LM wheels (I think)
are a little out of my price range at the mo :laugh:

These are mania racing vortex wheels 17 by 7.

The V6 is sat at a friends lockup at the moment.. It will be there for a bit before deciding the best way forward to release the wagon... :sad3:

The grip is phenomenal in the car... great fun to drive without scaring the passengers too much :p

Enjoying every minute of driving it, when I can get it back of the Mrs!!!!
Can drive it properly now my ankle is better, my wife said I always amaze her with how quickly I heal, broke my ankle and foot on the 7th December, can now walk on it with hardly any pain at all and only a little limp, give it another week and I'll be back to normal! The hospital doesn't know yet but I haven't got the cast on anymore either, still waiting for my next appointment which should have been this week and can't get through to them on the phone either, spilt a jug of water down it the other night by accident so I cut it off myself and it feels so much better without it!
I'll probably get told off in the hospital but I've saved them a job!!
Was on my third cast anyway, they put the first two on wrong!
Anyway, have fun with the leggie and watch your speed, AYC lights and fuel gauge disappear!
