Hi folks
Had this car a week now and loving it, i didnt realize how much history this car has thought, its been in a few threads on here and tv!!! i was a bit worried about a cat d, but had it check by my dad whos a mechanic, he said it needs front tyres and a service everything else was great. "he worked of vauxhall years ago"
This is my second vx i crashed my first one after just 6 days in the wet hit a crossing!!! never mind three years later and couldnt wait to get another one!!!!

Does look nice 
Personally, I thought the guy on Wrecks to Riches was a fcuking idiot for not buying it. It looked stunning. He was never going to get the type of car he was after on his budget.

finally someone bought it 
I think the issues were to do with the paintwork, did they spray over the top of the stone guard or something

Rather you than me.
But if your first one is anything to go by, it will be trashed soon enough again.
Did you know of it's history before or after you bought it? hopefully before...

nice car 
just think, you've got a car that a 'B' celeb has laid their hands on!! just make sure the paint work is ok 
and don't spoil the inside to much with overzealous spraying 
look out for diesel 
6 Days!!!

That's what pullen said he thought he was, so...?he only mapped it to go in line with the new exhaust didnt he, so stage 2.
Whilst pullen may post in a style that is different/have a different view to life/the VX/this forum etc, I think he (assuming) has been given a hard enough time on here. Whilst some of his posts may have been questionable - it doesn't appear that he has been purposefully mean/thoughtless. And whilst some/most of us may find it odd that people buy a VX without researching it first for 300 years - he isn't the first. Time to ease up.
pullen - use the search, do your own research, and read people's replies to your posts (so you don't end up repeating yourself over and over) and you won't get people's backs up as much

No problem, although I wasn't not nice to you
I've only really posted one thing in your threads, and that was a genuine post providing you with a link to the website for your induction kit (when you were asking what it is).If you want to get your username changed - PM a mod or TurboTomato
