Over the weekend gave the Vectra a good clean and polish (not that it really needed it); the car is immaculate! Better condition than my 335i convertible which had half the miles and was x4 the price!
But then yesterday was informed that I wouldnt be able to get my m135i deposit back contrary to previous discussion with the dealer as the car build date was brought fwrd a month so now ready for collection 3rd Sept!! So anyone want a lovely Vectra u2u me?!
Popped out and saw a nice lay by so thought I may aswell take a few pics!
And a few at home after a polish and hoover

Its a bit loud but thats because of the de-cat's but def quicker! But strange having that power through the front wheels (for me at least) handles well also for something of its size.

Having had a Vectra VXR for 6-8 months, I do honestly really like them. However, having had my M135i for a month so far, it is miles ahead IMO. You keeping yours now or selling it?

Really can't decide, put it up for top money, although the guys on the forum seem to think considering the chains being done I could ask more but I don't think I can so I'm not, had a lot of interest no serious offers though.
Honestly don't want to sell it still really enjoying it so much car and performance for the money, but I do fancy a change but I don't know what I will replace it with.

Tough one I guess but if you get top money then it's easier to swallow I guess. I always wished it were a tiny bit more lairy to drive!

I thought about an insignia vxr until I drove one, the Vectra is slot more lairy than them, they are really tame in comparison.
Kind of got my heart set on an Evo next God knows why lol.

Nice cars are the Insignias, I was lucky enough to use a super sport version for 6 weeks. So quick but deceptive as they never felt like you were doing the speeds you were. It's a big old bus too! What gen Evo?

I think there lovely to look at but just not for me I don't know why but I really think the vectras are s nice looking car lol.
Evo wise I'm not sure since I was s kid iv always wanted an Evo 6 since my next door neighbour had a blue/purple makkinen one so I may have to get that out my system and go for a 6, but I'm thinking 7 or 8 aswell as I also really like them, it's only an idea at the moment it depends if my vxr sells.
Getting more emails on eBay asking if I'll do other vxr owners chains than offers to buy lol.
