Yet another car question

Yeah.

The thing is it's been a surprisingly good car and represents good VFM
as vauxhalls depreciate quite a lot in the first 3 yrs then hold level,
I expected to have broken it by now but the only thing to have failed in
nearly 4 yrs abuse is a headlight bulb.

I was thinking of buying it when the lease runs out, but as I say it's
had 4 years of abuse and I tend to wear mechanical things out in that
timeframe.

I'd quite like to try 2.0 turbo coupe version if I buy one, they look
like fun.

 

Robbo?

 

...."But I'm not bitter."

 

Yersh. I really don't want to own a van as my only vehicle tho.

You love it.

 

I'd run an Estelle out of pure spite.

At 19 I used to wear Oxfam cardigans to "prove a point". It must be said
the point has slipped my mind somewhat.

 

Yeah but be fair, I haven't pontificated about GSX-R600's in months...

 

Did you watch Top Gear when they tested one of those on their track
(probably not considering where you are)...

It was a shambles.. the Smart didn't even make it round the corner

 

Well, I wish I was you, but I'm not

 

Do you have to quote his bile, Ginge?

 

Not really, I just forgot so many have him killfiled.

 

Leyland Sherpa Van.

It *is* too.

 

Not as funny as when they tried to parallel park the BAR F1 car.

 

I don't like the Mk X's arse.

 

Colonials or colonels?

Oh, yes, and *ROFLMAO*

 

Why on earth did you need to *** out the word gay?

This isn't MTV you know.

 

406 Estate. HDi.

 

And allegedly, the Alfa Romeo 164. My favourite wiggly snake of all
time. 3.0V6 Lusso, in manual. Had one for three weeks.

I wouldn't want to upset Steve H, on the floorpan thing like, so if
I'm wrong, I won't argue with him.

 

Funny thing this evening. Not ten minutes ago, the dealer I bought it orf,
three-plus years ago, phoned up to see if I was interested in selling it, as
they've got lots of people looking for them secondhand...

 

Alfa 164 / Fiat Croma / Lancia Thema and Saab 9000 were all designed to
use the 'type 4' platform. The Fiat and Lancia are almost the same car
(although you could get the Lancia with a Ferrari engine) with the Alfa
being more 'customised' for the brand and Saab making the biggest
changes.
