Finally got my account working  >:(......

OK, I'm Paul, brother of someone more eminent on this forum  ;) and own a '99 2.5 V6 CDX saloon in polar sea blue.  Add to this one ageing L plate red astra CD (owning kn@ckered red vauxhalls runs in the family), a vermillion 1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500 and numerous plastic bikes/tractors/go-karts owned by my 2 year old son.

I'm an analytical chemist for Unilever's safety centre and a part-time PhD student (means I only have to dodge soap 2.5 days a week...).  Living in Rushden, Northants and working in north Bedfordshire.  Just passed the 30 mark but got a long way to go to catch up my big bro.  ;D

Certainly not an expert mechanic (don't need to be in my family!) but like to dabble, especially on the spit (it's about as mechanically advanced as me).

Great forum!

Welcome Paul, I'm glad to joined :D

Not that you'll need advice, what with all the Vauxhall expertise that runs in the family.

Hi guys, (& gals!),

Rod here!!

Just mosey'd on down from the 'other' place, (Althoguh I was on holiday and I haven't a clue what went on!! P'haps I don't want to know either!).

How about that?!?! Another forum to waste my time on when I should be working/tinkering etc.

Anyway, I'm 37, Live in a village called Newmills near Dunfermline in Fife, Scotland with my wife of three years Jemma and my two year old Son Jude.

Have been into, (and still am really!), Carltons and Senators historically, but bought an Irmscher kitted '02 3.2 MV6 estate when I took a new job and the car allowance policy dictated that my car must be under 5 yrs old!! Sadly my Senator, fine car though it was, (230 BHP BTW!!), didn't cut it!!  :(

I've since equipped said MV6 with some exceedingly wide wheels and tyres!!  ;D 8-)

Love my MV6, so does my wife. She can't have it!! So I'm trading her Mundaneo in for a 'V' plate 2.5 V6 Elite this evening. (Can't wait to get shot of that Mundaneo!! It really is a P.O.S. and I hate it with a passion!!)

Workwise, I'm a call/contact centre telephony solutions designer/developer for Siemens Communications.

I am registered for Staples2Naples this year and providing I can sort the brakes on the the 2.0 16v 'L' plate Omega I have for that then it's off to sunny Italy in September. Can't wait, but I've so much to do in the meantime!!

Here's my ditty

nickname is bernie aged 38 married with two young children. Owned my 2.5 reflection for 3.5 years and probably has been my best car, although the pug 205 1.9 was a cracker in my younger days - memories!

the omega is used by my wife as I have a 406 company car - not a patch.

Also own an Ascona 400 which is very slowly being brought back to life after many years sitting in a garage after coming over here on a holiday from Ireland.

live in cheshire

An Ascona 400.....very nice.....they did some fantatsic Opels in the 70's and 80's....I realy think the biggest mistake GM ever made was not having Vaux as the standard card marque and Opels as the fun/big car marque.....

Hi, moving over from a site nearby.

I'm Graham from near Totnes in Devon. Got a 03 2.6 at present and had an 02 2.2 up until last Christmas. Previously played with 406's and Mondeo's. Hopefully nothing too much should be going wrong with mine in near future (straight through its first MOT this week) but will keep a look out on this site in anticipation of the years ahead. In meantime spend most weekends trying to keep wife's Freelander on road as something else seems to fall off/break every week!
