jeebowhite Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 The vectra is probably the best of a bad lot when it comes to vauxhalls, they are pretty good mechanically my friend told me when he had his. Bought it high mileage and scrapped it thereafter But I'm no fan, two car crashes where they hit me and the wife was in hospital for weeks in a bad way because of a corsa. I don't like to entertain the idea of them these days. The only thing worse than vauxhalls is idiots in German cars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodkat Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I had a 2000 Vectra. Now I was going through a phase, the girl I was with years ago, her old man had two in succession. I liked his. But then I liked his daughter too. Like his daughter, the car I bought was dodgy. Should have seen it from a mile off. But no. I was infatuated. I was with the daughter for 4 years, on and off. I was with the car for about two months. It was the biggest heap of leaning, clocked, knocking crap I ever bought. Quite frankly, if I became a multi-millionaire, I would buy each and every last one of them, line them up in a airfield, and patrol the line daily, picking which one I am going to murder in the most sadistic way possible. Then I will melt down the remains and send the evil steel to Poxhall, who will buy it at inflated prices so they can make more hateful cars for me to slaughter. In case you hadn't noticed, I hate Vauxhall. But apart from more breakdowns than a dodgy Alfa, the daughter was a very good ride...

chrisroberson99 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Ha if I had money to burn I'd buy a bunch of 8 year old Audis and have a demolition derby! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incontro Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 It's always a relief to get your own car back. Nothing else is quite like it, good or bad. Yep, the drive back from the garage/dealer to home is so satisfying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
