    I'm with Bainie TBH mate - sorry - just because you've got the money to plough into a car doesn't mean its any better that anyone elses - it is an amazing car - in the same way that Richard Branson is an amazing guy - but he's no better than my dad!

    Don't mean to sound like an ****, think your car is great and your a top bloke....so please just take these comments with a pinch of salt...sorry again!

    Also, once you've read one, its hard to be enthusiastic about another one, as its presented in exactly the same way... by the sixth one, its boring.

    But, if they were all different, it would have more of an appeal for people to read stuff, as it would all be presented differently.

    Anyways... I didnt want to start a heated debate, just an idea.
    Surely people would still be bored by the 6th or so car regardless of whether or not
    it has a display stand or info shees on the window, unless they are avid vectra fans (its not a vauxhall only show)
    in which case the would more than likely be members of this site and know about the cars on here anyway,
    if they are interested in the car and what has been done to it then they would take an info sheet, A proper
    info point display would just show that quality and dedication to the vehicle concerned are
    important, if you spend a lot of money on a buying and modding a car a home made info board would probally let
    it down.. info point displays only cost around £25 to £30 anyway,
    surely worth while to show off your car and also highlight the good points for any potential car thiefs
    if you so desire that kind of attention........

    Guys, let's chill eh? I'd really rather not have to close this thread, but I will if it's going to degenerate into getting personal.

    Spoons asked a simple question and I think he's had it answered pretty well - both from members and one of the Admin.

    JCB - your reply could maybe have been worded just a wee bit better, but what's done is done.

    Shall we just leave it there then? Please.

    Agree with you VV, the written word can so easily be taken the wrong way, as I have found out the hard way on many occasions *lol*

    Agreed, could have still been worded just a wee bit differently though as, has been said, it's all to easy to take the written form the wrong way. Like Tommy, I've found out the hard way too! lol

    First off - apologies.

    However - I wrote nothing more offensive that Bainies first reply to this thread...I even went as far to say that I think the car is great and amazing, and I really like Steve...so if I touched a nerve regarding money mate....then I'm sorry, but I wasn't posting any assualt......

    Duncan - you can't always predict others perceptions of what you type - I think you just have to ask the question prior to shouting ones mouth off?

    Hi 5 Steve?!
