Yippee!! It's a pass

Especially as that Vectra is an Astra.

Had two Astras, they were shite as well.

I have to,ask - why did you get a second one if this first wasn't 'very good'?

If you tret them like you treated that Skoda you had, it's hardly surprising the Astra's tried to commit suicide!!

The first we bought from Bev’s sister’s husband, found out he told us lies, car was a death trap.
Second one was a van that we got for moving horse feed etc, tunrned out we’d bought a heap of unreliable crap, Bev insisted on the Vectra against my better Judgement, first week engine management light came on & the car slowed to an almost stop, not good in the middle lane of the M1, got it repaired under warranty (supposedly diss pack) a week later engine management light came on again, back to dealer complete computer replacement.
Couple of weeks later brake light came on when I was driving downhill, never did solve that one.
My drive sloped & I had to reverse up it from the main road, front end always juddered, a colleague had exactly same problem with his identical model.

If you weren't sitting at 54 in the middle lane of the M1 it wouldn't have been so bad.

Joking aside I was doing 70 & suddenly it slowed right down, luckily it was a Sunday morning, but still drew a few horn blasts, I should have worn brown trousers that day.

You dun't need to justify yerself to the bankerer.


Just ask him "how many BMWs have you owned" to get a true measure of the, err.... person.

I was just pointing out that I was travelling at the correct speed in the BMW slow lane & with the car slowing then it could have been expected for a BMW to ram me up the arse as they would consider I shouldn’t have been in their lane & also they don’t slow down or move out of the way for anyone.

As stated previously, jealousy is an accurate indicator of what you covet.
