3 only needed replacing, (both fronts and one rear) one still had plenty of of tread.

You do know that it's advised to have matching tyres on each axle, right?

There all Michelin, same model - can't remember the actual one.
It's what the lease company decided to use.

Dad has got the car at the moment.

Car snobbery from a Civic owner. Just, lol.

Not car snobbery at all. I simply have an intense dislike of Vectra's and I pretty much work on 1 every day. I was implying that someone who buys a vectra perhaps would not be bothered about having matching tyres and replace in pairs. Lets ask the op in 6 months if he's still in love with his vectra or if he wishes he bought something/anything else.

Ohh the Vectra hatred, remember there are three of us now...

I paid £1700 to insure a 197bhp car at 19... is that the best you can do insurace-wise?

If the value of the car was £500 then that's plausible.

Come with a few extras like body colored handles, interior map reading lights and chrome surround on the windows.

That is brilliant, a light that every car should have anyway above your head, a bit of stuck on chrome and they paint the handles for you.

Mine has no chrome. I,m just not bling enough for chrome..

I had a 172 worth 3k at 19.

I insured my BMW 330i Sport, 231bhp group 17 at 20 with 1 years NCB for £1500 in an OL postcode, £1600 for a 1.8 Vectra makes baby jesus commit suicide

How is what you paid 1-2 years ago (guessing from your age) relevant here and now?

Did someone just say it had a mean front end?

Looks like the rental Muffin abused a couple of years ago but with a personal plate:

I know, wrong age, no fogs, no body colour handles, orange indicators. I soo wanted it to be the same car.

I paid £1300 for a year of TPFT insurance on a 1.25 Fiesta when I was 20 or 21, so good going.

You've not seen Tarrantino's Inglorious *******'s have you ?

You don't know what Nein means in German, do you?

BigglesPiP · 2 Feb 2011 at 18:35

Of course I do, I said "Nine" not "Nien", I was referencing Blackadder, and probably hell of a lot more people before that.

Fr0dders · 2 Feb 2011 at 18:46

which blackadder sketch was that ? i'ts been a while since i saw it.
