I'm still knocking around in my 1.6 16v Vectra while I source a replacement (may be a Astra Coupe Turbo now) but I was driving home today on some cracking b-roads with no-one else on the road in front and I could see really far in front so could take all the racing lines.

Now, I know its a 1.6 Vectra but I still had a great time bombing round the corners, carrying a bit of speed and a bit of left foot braking every now and again.

Anyone else think that is doesn't really matter what you drive, you can still have fun even if it is a shit-box?

If you have some nice quiet roads then yes an average car can be fun chucking it around, but in something quick its even more fun!

If I think back to driving the same road in the Punto Turbo then yeah it was more fun but I find myself having to actually drive the Vectra. IWhen I say that I mean I have to carry the speed from corner to corner otherwise it loses too much.

Hope you've not been rallying up the Bathgate Hills Chris, some scary things go on up there (so I've heard}

Now if you had said that the last time I was shopping in Falkirk, I would have serious concerns about you. I was in River Island, when two guys (drunk) stopped, lay down on the floor infront of everyone, and looked up my skirt!!!

Yeah Liam, I was looking at some clothes and the next thing these two guys were squirming about at my feet. At first I thought they were just rolling about the floor, then I noticed other people looking and laughing, When I looked down they were both looking up my skirt!!

They were ordered out the shop
