The New Car!

Well as some of you know, after about 5 years of owning MG's I have gone for a change of car.

The ZS has served me well but recently was going wrong and i found alot of the plastic parts giving up.

This coupled with manual windows, no aircon, no cruise control, no trip computer etc.

So on my birthday yesterday I went to "look" at other cars. I showed the salesman my ZS and he offered me a very good trade-in price.

So with that in mind Amy and I went for a walk along the showcourt and fell in love (not with each other, with a car )

I'm not sure what people's opinions will be, but i have always liked them.....





Its a 2007 Vectra 1.8i SRI in silver

If I am allowed then I would like to stay on this site, I am still MG obsessed its just reasons mean the Vectra is better for me.

Don't hate me lol

Sammy

Still gonna tweak it slightly tho!

Already bought these for it.....

- couple of Imrscher parts and the associated badges for the front and rear
- K&N Panel Filter
- Vectra VXR Cold Air Intake
- Aero Wiper Blades
- Irmscher alloy tax disk holder

Not gonna go OTT with it. Might get the rear windows tinted and some wind deflectors in time

JK. You are more than welcome to stay.

I would've got that VXR in black personally, but hey.

lol VXR was not in my buying budget, insurance budget or economy budget lol.

i did consider the same car i got but in black, i think the silver is nicer and better for a change.

Saves you having to clean it a lot silver hides the dirt

did you trade all the alloys and everything in with the ZS

Well TBH i would love the VXR8, but the above 3 budgets wouldn't stretch to it.

yeah they are getting the car as it stands. couldnt be bothered to strip all the parts off etc.

could have done with the new car today for the aircon! it feels faster than my ZS and more torquier (made that word up i think) plus its soooooooooooo comfy and im looking forward to electric everything!

They're nice Sammy, and you got lots of kit for the money, I've just bought a Zaf SRi (as you can see in my 'Our new bus' thread) and I'm really pleased with it!!
