a few years late, but this only just came up on my feed. I knew your dad from VX club and did some TDs and Euro trips with him. Lovely guy and helped me as well when I was going through my cancer journey. All the best with the old girl, Silver is the best colour as well :)

My old law teacher was very fond of these and it was his dream to purchase another vx220 turbo. Sadly, Timothy Turner passed away last year, two weeks after finding out he had aggressive cancer. Your father and this car reminds me of him. God bless and thank you.

Very well produced video, I've subscribed and look forward to more. I hope your view and subscriber count soars with more quality vids. Your story with your father brought a tear to my eye, seemed like a really cool guy and looks like yous had a great relationship. I found your video as I was looking up VX220s as there is one abandoned in a communal car park in front of my house, it has been there for at least 2 years with no reg plates and stickers on it reading "free" "for sale 99p" "scrap me" etc. It just sits there collecting leaves. I'd love to figure out how to take ownership of it, fix it up and refurbish it. They are fairly rare cars and I see it everyday rotting there.

Thanks for your comment JK, very kind. Hoping to improve my video editing skills by the next update! He was and the whole family misses him. Shame to hear about that local VX220, will get rare and rare as the years go by, especially ones in nice condition.

Thanks Znauser, more to come this year :) Do you know, I'm not sure. Dad put it on and half the challenge with this car is working out what parts are on the car!
