    just had a look on the web. 150ps. what an incredibly inefficient engine by today's standards.

    I know nothing of the SXi so cannot comment. The Vectra was my one and only experience of Vauxhalls.

    Apparently they need wrap some wires with shielding on mine otherwise it's a fire hazard or something.
    On the letter it says it will take approximately 30 minutes.

    After calling them they said oh no it will take a day and there is something else we need to do too.

    This will cheer you up, f. It's the Tube's 155th birthday today.

    I know because my phone just told me for some reason I don't really understand.

    I have never fully grasped the concept of how driving a car can be "fun".

    Back in the proverbial day when I would be driving around London very stoned in a car for which I bore no costs it was a little like a real life video game but I am sure none of us (responsible adults) would condone such behaviour.

    crawling around London in a traffic jam isn't fun of course, sw.

    open country roads are a different matter altogether.

    and being behind the steering wheel is no place for the stoned there are other places for that state...

    Nor me, to be honest. These days I regard any drive of more than half an hour with something approaching dread.

    One should at least be responsible enough to balance things out with a noseful of coke imo. That way, you're basically sober. FACT.
