£505 annual tax.........you'll sell it before you have to part with that much. ;D

Oh yes.... It's not going to last long then....  ;D

Mind if Lord Opti pays by DD he won't notice the piddling £42 per month going out.  :y
That's £44.19, Sir Tigg..........but the interest they charge will help with the national debt.

In a Vectra, those 2.8T go pretty bloody well in a straight line, though chronic fuel economy if you rag it a lot.

Will you ever go fast enough for the turbo to spool up? I mean....16mpg around town.

Opti......have you gone raving bonkers?

I thought I was being sensible.

The unpretentious and practical Signum reminds  me of the old Morris 1800, the one known as the landcrab.

Spacious......FWD.....and with a big boot.

I mean, what could be more sensible than a modern Morris 1800?... ::)

Ah yes forgot about the interest.  :-[  My point is still valid though.  :y

I still reckon that before long it'll be going the same way as the RX8 and the Merc!  ;)  Especially when Lady Opti finds the loud pedal!  :D  ;D

My mate had one of these, if I remember it's got a very unique turbo on them that was quite revolutionary at the time :y

In a Vectra, those 2.8T go pretty bloody well in a straight line, though chronic fuel economy if you rag it a lot.

I'm told that Bluefin will help the economy by about 10% as well as bolstering the performance with an extra 50 BHP and 80 FT LB of torque in the midrange.
