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.

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]

[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.
