Its awful I know. Problem is that its a shared access round the back of the houses. By shared access I mean a communal dumping ground for anything and everything they cant be assed to take to the tip. When it comes to cutting the grass its fully suit goggles and face mask. Not looking forward to cutting it but if it gets much longer I wont be able to find the car.

Have to stick up for my old Omega 3.0 MV6 at this point. It had a drilled airbox and sounded absolutely amazing.

Not saying it beats a VR6 - but it is the best sounding V6 I have owned buy a long way and way better than a Vectra V6.

No need to stick up for it. Like my vauxhalls. Had a vec gsi before this one and have had a few Astros in the past. Almost bought an omega mv6 but was just too big for what I wanted.

Looks a good clean / straight car.

Before replacing the battery, clean all the earths

Not bad if you don't have any expectations for it to be anything like the original that Ridley Scott also directed. Is an ok film though.

Good idea that. Will def be giving it a full service and good clean up.

It's fairly straight and has been looked after in the past. Seems the last couple of owners haven't really bothered though.
