So with the vectra being completely finished now, and achieving my aim to get a magazine feature with Total Vauxhall, I decided it was time for a new project. Having never owned a petrol car since passing my test it was now time (as I was sick of the sound of diesel). There were alot of choices that I could have gone with but I decided to stick with Vauxhalls I wanted something fast (that can try to keep up with my friends tuned corsas and novas) but newer, comfortable and most importantly big. I decided against a Vectra VXR as I was keeping the Vectra Diesel which looks almost identical aswel as because of the insurance costs. Astra VXR is nice but is quite common and not much is left for me to put my personal touch on that hasnt already been done Zafira VXR was an option but thought I was way too young for a people carrier so I set my sights on a Signum 2.8T manual design. Suprisingly the insurance costs less than the 1.9cdti vectra. I had a few specific options that I wanted the car to have and I managed to pick this 57 plate model in early January this year;
