VR6Lee 1 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Three weeks ago a big decision was made to buy a runner for work. We were looking at the BMW series 1 diesel. New £17K.OOPs Don’t panic I wouldn’t sell VR As he is part of the family,But the VR costing me more in repairs with the 70mile round trip to work, When things did go wrong the TVR was costing me £180 a week in petrol and if I took the XR2 I felt like the eyes of the Lutonites were stripping her.So luck went my way a week ago, (you know wot I mean)When my Uncle took a turn for the worst and my Auntie asked me if I would like his car, Well (h) all that flirting around my Auntie paid off.So we Keep £17K in the bank for a rainy daySo now I'm a owner of :$ ... a......51 plate 1800 Vectra :$ It also worked out cheaper on insurance having the Vectra fully comp and VR on a low mileage policy :S So at the weekend the VR was washed and polished and rolled into the garage with the others away from the winter elements. Well until the sun comes out again Link to post Share on other sites
