Hi guys,

Havnt been on here in a while, as most know a while ago i won a vectra estate on ebay for a bargain price, Went past a dealer the other week & took the vectra in to see what i could get px.

they offered a good deal so took it now the owner of a non vauxhall :)

Its not a bad car but costing a fortune in fuel as i have a heavy foot :P

Iirc there should be warnings in the handbook (which noone bothers to read) and in the vehicle itself, usually on the sunvisor or a sticker somewhere nearby!

How do the Focus ST's compare to Astra VXR's? Never driven either, but see far more St's on the road in Essex. Dont like the shape of them though, think they're boring. The original focus was much more of a design statement at the time. Just my opinions though.....
