Great wee cars! Love the VXT...Shocked at how badly they rot though!!! (All the wishbones/dampers/springs/bushes!) - Worst I've seen and the Lotus is no better.

IMO, you need ATS's and stickier rubber than the Bridgestone flintstone tyres they come with.

How bad was the shunt Ben?

Any pics?

What happened!?

Ended up in a ditch at about 35-40. Car drove absolutely fine once pulled out, no suspension damage etc but it had some clam damage and lower sill damage.

Obviously the price of brand new parts + fitting/painting etc meant to them it was not worth repairing. Even when I told them about none genuine replacement parts they were not keen about. Luckily for me not long after buying it the market had gone up value wise so I actually ended up with more than I paid for it.

I have got some pictures at home of the damage I think, I'll dig them out.

Yeah when I buy another one, I would ditch the Bridgestones right away for Federal RSRs.

Oh. Oops. (Should have bought stickier rubber!) JOKES! (Glad your okay!)

Haha you are absolutely right though and that was the plan along with some ATS DTC alloys but obviously I didn't get that far haha.

It is only a car at the end of the day. Could of been 100x worse.
