and i don't reckon that the guy who drove the F1 car inside the excel centre was the same person that is normally the stig.

looked a bit more stocker and round than usual, more nigel mansell than damon hill if you know what i mean

vectras are nice IMO.

Only ever been in one (taxi) and i was so impressed with the space, comfort and build quality from a vuaxhall. My dad owned a mondeo of same ago for 6months and the two dont even compare. The mondeo felt like a cheap shitty uncomfortable heap. The vectra was a nice car

quite a few have the in our place

Non of them are really onay good thats goes for the 2.2 DTI, 19 CDTI, 2.2 petrol, 1.8 petrol etc

Horrible dash inside and cheap plastic

Mondeo is a far better drive and build quality

But non them appeal in anyway

How is the vectra faster in gear than an m5 I missed that bit?!

It looked like they were driving it a bit stupidly tbh but it's never gonna be an amazing handling car.

Vectra driven stupidly with the driver aids off handles bad - hold the front page.

Cavaran thing was downright stupid and so clearly fake from start to finish.

I'm beginning to dislike that program.
