Ok we have a dilemma. The Nazi waggon has broken AGAIN for the third time in as many weeks. We've accepted its nine years old and is really going to start costing us a fortune. It has to go.
So we tried really hard today to look around a couple of garages. madIt was horrendous, tedious and extremely boring. All of the cars looked the same. The highlight was getting back in the Monaro.
We went into a Vauxhall dealer and test drove a VXR Astra. Its a lovely car, nice and quick and very well loaded, I'm just not to keen on front wheel drive.
So can anyone come up with any other suggestions. We have it down to two cars now. VXR Astra or VXR8. The Astra make more sense due to tax and insurance but for an extra £5,000- £6,000 we could have a VXR8. That is the only real way of us not fighting over who gets to drive what.
The question is are we missing something. Is there a car that could be suitable. Its needs a biggish boot, power, preferably four doors. Help please

Should be a good choice of big saloons really, loads of BMW 5series, Mercs, Audi A6's something a bit different Volvo S80 V8 if you want a saloon that is.

TBH Col says he doesn't really want to stretch to VXR8 costs but i don't see him being happy with anything else. I've never known him not get what he wants eventuallyrolleyes

I bought mine from Archie Moss thought they had all gone !! Be careful there was a black one in there that I nearly bought it has had paintwork done on the bonnet. Also you dont buy the car immediately you rent it . Its some sort of dodge

So there are non for sale at £23K plus that you can just buy? Even if you were to walk in with pound notes. A couple of the lads on here a bought new ones recently and i don't think they are renting them. Wonder if i'd be better going to picadors? Its the distance that's the bummer. Archie Moss are much closer to us.

I "bought" mine about three weeks ago but got the reg docs today. I think the rental agreement is a way of Archie Moss getting extra discounts from Vauxhall . I must be honest I took a bit of persuading but all seems legit as car is now mine , 2nd owner though . But for that price im not too bothered.Best to talk to them about it but as I said watch out for the one with the damaged bonnet its also got a few miles on it.
