The Vauxhall Vectra Enthusiasts Thread

[Drago]

We got trains, planes and ships. Time for automobiles to get a look in with a thread for the dullest - but far from actual worst - car of modern times.

I have earned a good few Bob working on them. Never felt the desire to own one though.

On a Poxhaul related note, I've just picked up a Zafira A 1.8 auto for the Missus. 52 plate, 1 owner, FSH, only 53,000 miles. Aside from the smell of boiled cabbage from its first owner it's like a time capsule.

About as exciting as dinner with Adrian, but equally competent at simply conveying people and stuff.

 

[Levo-Lon]

They are a Phenomenon...

 

[accountantpete]

Pretty dull though - Zafira's are far more exciting

 

[Drago]

Yes, I steered clear of the later models because the cabin heater is a bit, er, fierce.

Well I suppose if there's an owners club for Morris Marinas there should be one for Vectras too

 

[Drago]

There's an owner's club for Zafiras of all things. I shant be joining.

 

[screenman]

That is giving off more emissions than my VW.

There is a owner's club for Austin Maxi and the main address is in my village, I am not a member.

You might not be but Drago's a right tool for starting this thread.

 

[Drago]

It's going to be a hugely popular thread with the scotch and and stringback glove brigade.

 

[Vapin' Joe]

My '99 Astra has just gone over the 100k mark. 20k of those have been put on during the two years I've owned it.

Not got a Vectra? Another Vauxhall snooze maker?
