Sarnie Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Vik54 said: I suppose I'm just pining for Saffy It is a good clean car - although has seen some gritty sponges in it's time - and if I stop aiming for amazing mpg it can be fun...but only in a straight line I think the key here is that you have to realise that whilst your not in a car like a zed your not actually going to enjoy driving. Your primary aim is/was cost cutting so you need to get into that mindset now. In my previous cars, I would love going for a blast and even a trip to the corner shop was an experience. Now it's a purely functional experience. It's like being married to a Porn Star for years and then going back to being single; it's just not as much fun as it used to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car looks just fine, and if it's a bit swirly nothing a solid detail couldn't handle. I know - but I thought Ermintrude (the cow) was quite appropriate for a diesel barge.

Dblock Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 A guy I work with bought a 95 aero. It's a 2.3 "hot" but bloody hell it's dull. It's only nippy ok straight lines and is just grey and dreary. A remap should make it more fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choptop Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Why didn't you just go and buy a Vectra On a serious note it looks very nice. Functional and a bit left field What is the latest on SAAB? Has anyone bought the car company or has it finally gone for good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vectra wouldn't come with as many bells and whistles but the GM parts was one of the reasons I went for it as it 'should' be relatively easy to source parts and cheaper to fix than a Beemer or Alfa (I really shouldn't tempt fate should I? ) Its ok... I WILL stop this self indulgent whinging eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Should have got a grand of Alfa........I love mine so much!
