A guy at work just picked up a Vectra 1.8 as a beater, on a P plate with 110k miles on the clock and full service history for a cool grand. The engine just sings on the motorway, he intends to use it to visit his bird who lives a fair few miles away and run his TreVoR at the weekends.

Go a different route .... and get a bike. You could do the journey in half the time.

Give me a call. I could find a trade car or buy one to order at auction.

Colin......I'm thinking that maybe I do!

It will SOOOOO make me appreciate the S even more when I get to drive her too!


(btw...you need a forward slash on the second 'i' )
That's for sure!!!!

If it's for the M25 carpark, I'd be tempted to get an auto - but misused autos can fail at surprisingly low miles.

PS Thanks for pointing out my rubbish HTML punctuation - I was going to correct it but this new board flags up when you've edited stuff and I didn't want to embarrass myself

The lowest price the better, but I'm think a couple of thousand.

And Ian....how do I get from Weybridge to Colchester without going on the M25??
