Practical as man. Loads of room in the back! :lol:

You can do a lot worse than a Vectra mate. Dull, but cheap n cheerful and parts are plentiful. Gotta be a winner!

(I personally recommend a 1.5 D 106. Winnnnnnnnnn. :D)

It's no bother unless you want to overtake in a short distance, or are trundling along a nation speed limit single carrigeway road and are then faced with a masssive hill lol.

SVO MPG makes up for all of that though. :D

Mpg is the new Bhp.

Mad max should have a Bluemotion. Not a blown v8.

I was talking to my mate and he agrees (dunno about Mad Max though lol).

He has an MR2 Turbo and a diesel Civic, and is with me on the fact that squeezing good miles from the tank is as much 'fun' as having your foot down! :lol:

His Civic has economy lights too, so get them all on and it's like Connect fucking 4.
