Welcome Dale, glad you are liking it, was sad to see it go but the 10 months I had were good, just didn't drive it enough as drive so many other cars.

Haven't replaced it yet as have other HSVs in at the moment if I need to drive one. so not sure what I want next confused

this weeks transport .....................

E2s are even rarer than E3s here. cool
You sure about that ARAF, I know more E2's than E3's ??
Vx never imported E2s, apart from maybe a couple for evaluation. There were the 560 VEs, then a dozen or so E3s, and now the GenFs. The only E2s here are the personal imports.

Today i have had the car 1 week and have done 476 miles so far.

In the first week of owning the car we have had about 4 inch of snow and that did not stop me getting to work much to the surprise of my work colleges lol.

The 8 is a big car but when i am driving around it does not feel it and the power delivery plus the Bi Modal is something else.

The Astra J VXR that i had before felt like you were in a far bigger car than it was.

Ditto but the running costs as a DD are a little prohibitive to all but the rich.... Which I am not! biggrin

I will not be at the Ace tomorrow.

It would have been to much messing about to do a direct swap, so put it on retension instead.

Shame that.
Glad I managed to register mine from new on a private plate. Less hassle.
