Title: Evening
Post by: MoonrakerSparks on 18 October 2008, 18:23:09

Hi all just thought I'd pop in and say hello, just picked up a 98 3.0 v6 Elite, ex vauxhall demonstrator + 1 private last ten years,108 miles on the clock needs a little clean inside but overall in good condition.
Previously I've owned 2 Vectra 2.5's and a 2.0 16v GLS Omega which was sadly written off by a one legged man in the slowest accident ever  :D
Already used the boards to check out a few bits and bobs before buying this one, hope to see you all on the forums

Ahhh picture a small car park, a chrysler PT cruiser auto, and a very cheap disabled adaptation on the pedals allowing the left foot to operate both brake and accelerator.
Now picture the PT cruiser in reverse with the drivers foot stuck under the cheap adaptation and a PT cruiser slowly shunting an omega slowly along a kerb bending the steering rack, wiping out the passenger front wing and headlight, knackered alloys and all done at little over walking pace.
Also picture me being told the vehicle was a write off only a month after spending £800 getting it driving like new.
