As some of you may have read ive been looking at Trading in the vectra for an estate car. As ive already had 2 vec C's another wasnt on the list im afraid, so it was a toss up between a V70 and a 9-5 Estate. I found 2 very nice examples, and the dealers were doing their best to come up with the better deal to take my business. In the end, Last night i signed on the line for the V70. Its high mileage and older than the vectra but ive haggled 12months warranty and £1000 cash back on mine so overall i think i got a good deal.
Anyway, all this means that my enthusiasim for all things vectra will no doubt start to dwindle and as i have my Mk3 Astra Gsi as my project car, i think its best that I hang up my events manager polo shirt and call it a day as being part of the admin team.
Its been a hell of a rollercoaster since we started, weve had endless problems and issues to sort and being an admin can definetly take the fun out of your car. But its all worth while when you see things like our display at PVS or the way members muck in to help others out. I'll still be frequenting the forums as after owning 2 C's since 2002, i still think i can offer some occasional words of advice or support.
My official 'leaving day' is this friday which gives me a few more days to make sure everyone is sorted for Trax and then i'll be joining Alex as a Vec C god and a black username.
Thanks for the rollercoaster ride. Good times or bad, Vec C has been a massive part of my life (sometimes too big a part!) since june 2005 and i will miss my role but all things must come to an end sometime.
