Come do mine if you want :wink:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Well its a year this weekend  :shocked: since I called Rhyso and sent him to look at the Vectra for me  :laugh:

and despite one LARGE issue,  :rolleyes: and a few minors it has served me VERY well.  :cool:

 infact it has served me BEYOND my own estimations  :lipsrsealed:

I nearly replaced it this week  :evil: with an identical one, but 2 years younger and a third of the miles, but alas it was too pricey even with the boss giving me a deal on mine. that said, mine " in trade " is only 500 less than what I paid for this 12 months ago  :smiley:

So, 100k will be seen tomorrow on my way to Telford, a towbar will be going on next month and some new tyres before it goes to the Ring in October  :evil:
