Looks far too good to break doesn,t it. Iv,e just bought one thats older than that and hoping for a few years
out of it. How many miles had yours done if it,s not a rude question?

She'd done almost 175,000.

Shame you never broke it, lots of parts on it to help other migs live on ! You would have made more cash too

Not something I'm capable of.

I did make sure she became on organ donor instead of a large cube.

A cambelt change would put mine in that category

Haha!

Mechanical issues aside, LOTS of things started to go wrong. Just a string a minor issues to add to her misery.

It was a tough decision and it took me weeks to finally admit her life was over.

Body work was almost flawless, mate.

She had major mechanical issues.

They all do at some point

Yeah, I suppose.

She was classed as a "mechanical write-off"! Needed far too much work and money to go on living.

I'm thinking of an Insignia to replace her... using my Forces discount at Vauxhall.

My old faithful 2.2 CD Auto took its final journey today... to a breakers yard to become an organ donor

You were a fantastic car... thirsty, long, heavy, expensive... but I loved you!

RIP

The end of another miggy!

Description on video says "driver suffered serious injuries"... that much is obvious...

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated

It'll be a bit difficult getting the Mig to Vauxhall to program the key, can't move it off the drive without the original key

Looks like I'll only be going to Vauxhall for the security card and seeing the local Lock Shop for cutting and programming.

I'm guessing it tries to reduce wheel-spin on ice? $:-\$

Why didn't you press it & see what happens?
