Whenever I've got the call to say it's ready. They're taking the piss a bit, but I'm in good hands here at the moment.

I'm fearful for your safety, if you have still not emptied the chamber and it's nearly tea time.....

I quite like 500s in that they're like a go kart, but being long back/short legs means I fit about as well as John Candy in an original Mini.

I drove a MK1 Ka for four years.  I’m 6’2 and have always been North of 16 Stone.  John Candy in a Mini is an excellent way of describing that experience.

Have you got it yet? 

Normally the cars break down after you've bought them so this is a bonus, unless of course its an omen.

 

[JJ0063]

I get the impression you’re in for a sleepover now? 

[AnnoyingPentium]

Got it!

[barefoot]

That'll teach you to have a shit breakfast.

No idea why but I'm seeing Sandman in that number plate. 

🎶Give him the word that I'm not a Rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.... 
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream

[Sham]

An all day trek for a Vectra? Never mind, I'm sure it'll go better next time you collect something 😉

[PicantoJon]

Now if your sat nav tells you to take some sketchy looking road, don't! 😂

[maxxo]

It's a cracking car

[Bren]

Jealous.

What engine?

[RoverFolkUs]

It's a beeeeee 🐝, so I suppose it's got that going for it. 

Not sure why I didn't see that one coming to be fair! Nice* choice of motorized conveyance

12.4/10 good collectioneering would read again but more poos needed next time for extra points.

Now this I did not see coming! Well bought. That estate one on here has tempted me once or twice.

Please do this wrap on it, a tribute to the legend that is John Cleland

[JJ0063]

If anyone feels left out, there’s weirdly one the same year and very similar miles about to go auction;

https://www.manorparkclassics.com/auction/lot/lot-139---1998-vauxhall-vectra-16-envoy/?lot=1752&so=0&st=&sto=0&au=20&ef=&et=&ic=False&sd=0&pp=48&pn=1&g=1

Although if the estimate is anything to go by, @AnnoyingPentiumgot his for an absolute steal in comparison!

[JMotor]

Ryan ya mad bastid ye!

I mean awa tae get a motor like that!

Nah yeah, I already knew what the new brief was and it's a good choice....

Just providing it not rusty tae fuck! 😆

If no, pump the bloody thing full of some shite to keep it mint! Because trying to weld up a kippered one is not fun!!!

[Noel Tidybeard]

*sad fact*

the mirrors on the facelifted vecturd are in fact largerer than those ones

[Noel Tidybeard]

*sad fact 2*

Correct. 26,500 ish, loads of paperwork including a cambelt in 2021. Two keys, radio code, working well too. Dealer put new brakes on too.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

My condolences on your latest purchase.
