Hi folks,
well I did it, my bank manager may be less than impressed, but I'm just about ready to join the VR4 community. I've been a Galant fan for 4 years now, ever since I drove my mate's down in Oz, and was totally smitten by the utterly gorgeous look of the car. Soon after I I bought my trusty V6 24 and it's served me very well for many years now, but my less-than-secret desire was always to get a VR4, and now I have - the evil thing simply just seduced me from the moment I saw it! I'll be picking it up (it's a 2000 Type-S saloon) later in the week....mucho-sleepless nights expected till then!
Big, big thanks to everybody here - the site's been incredibly helpful to this newbie. I've been looking over a lot of the old posts and articles and it's answered a lot of my questions, but since I've been looking for an insurance policy I've got another question - what the hell is a VR5?
Only a few of these insurance providers seem to identify the car. Most foolishly think it's a grey import (cue one row on the phone with axa...!), but most of the rest identify any post-99 as the VR5. Any clues? I've tried ringing a couple of these providers, but they haven't got a clue what car it is - they just read out what's on their database. Should I just avoid this sites for fear of not insuring my car correctly?
Best quote I've got so far is Tesco, and they identify it fine (except they tag it as "{IMPORT}", but never mind).
Cheers all,
Jimbo
