I dont think a VXR8 could be any further away from a Vectra, what a tool

You drive a real mans car. 4 doors, rwd and a big v8 up front. He drives a fleet of overpriced shopping cars with some stick on badges and arches.
A real car should be able to do a donut with a family of 4 in it and a boot full of shopping lol.

I'd say it's more like an Omega than a Vectra  Tbh just punch him in the face. Facts won't change the fact he's an idiot. But a shovel sized hand might.

you should make it into a rat look vxr8 just to fit in with stretched tyres over 11 inch rims. or just sell it and get a nice brand new 1.6 mk5 facelift golf for 40 grand with no optional extras. the only extra you need is the logo on the key ring.
wonder if women at swingers parties are more likely to go for the set of keys with a vw logo on them that belong to the man in the beige jumper?

jealousy tbh. lucky i don't have that problem working at ford
we're all car nuts in there so appreciate all marques, although vw are silly money compared to the competition, and are always down on power when put with other cars e.g mk5 gti vs focus st/astra vxr

its barely even a vauxhall!! so being a big vectra is funny.. its a sodding HOLDEN!!
His list of VAG is boring at best
Audi A3 1.8T (old shape) - FWD golf - BORING
Mk2 Golf - Rust golf - but possibly the pick of the bunch - thats not really saying much tbh
Mk5 Golf 2.0TDi - An ok day to day car - good at everything - excells at none
VW Corrado 2.9V6 - Biggest pile of golf wank ever - its not even made by Volkswagen - it was made by karman in a shed based on a mundane nk3 golf with a shit engine thats nearly 3 litres and produces a feeble 174 or something bhp

Hes a VAG only kinda guy.. so no matter what you drive it isnt a "proper car" unless its VW,Audi..
was driving home on friday and passed him on the way.. he text "oh no, its a really big Vectra"
and today was saying, "yeah but its just a Vectra really isnt it"
pisses me right off
oh and for those that dont know i drive a VXR8
The irony that someone so misguided as to not only drive a volkswagen but somehow enjoy it, can think that their car is at the polar opposite of the automotive spectrum to where it does in fact sit, is far from lost on me.
Steve, just shoulder drop the wanker and then stab him up a bit too. I'll gladly assist.
Send some footage to his hospital bed of you taking a slash on his god awful example of utilitarian fascist mass transport too.

annoys the hell out of me. i know i should just ignore it but for some reason it really bugged me
It's not a Vauxhall though. It's a bloody Holden, sold under licence by Vauxhall. It shares nothing with any Vectra and Vectras are decent cars anyway.
As for volkswagen, christ, they don't even build a rear wheel drive car so his argument is invalid as all volkwagens are useless on this simple basis and therefore cannot be held up as a paragon of automotive quality or decency.
Re the vw badge. It is the most offensive looking piece of crap anyone has ever clapped eyes on. It cheapens anything it's stuck to, hence vw not effectively being able to make a luxury, sports or performance car that could ever be taken seriously. The moment you slap that big, garish, ugly,
tasteless, spasticy bit of plastic dross on the front of any vehicle, it looks like it's wearing fucking clown shoes.

As ever, Eck speaks only sense. Pay him heed, for he is wisest.

I annoyed someone who had a Golf VR6 a while back. I accidentally said something along the lines of it being 'not that powerful' and 'not having a V6 in it'.

The corrado is based on the mk2, well the front anyway, the rear is shared with an old passat
