I`ve sold it

**Penfold** · 21st December 2008, 17:15

Well follwing this thread http://www.vectra-c.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64892 from the other day i ve decided a VXR is out of the question and it`s now time to show a modicum responsability and get a car more suited to the wife for when she passes her test. So i`ve traded the Vec in for a Fiesta ST

. Not nearly as nice looking as my Vec or as torquey but the wife does nt look like a complete t**t when she s sat behind the wheel + she fell in love with it. It s a 58 plate with 70 miles on the clock £9200. As a consiquence i`ll be putting the strut brace up for sale and if anyone could manage to get here before xmas eve and swap their sri suspension for mine i`ll also sell the Bilstein B8 and Eibach setup, if not they go with the car. It s a sad day

Even sadder is your wife chose the replacement !

Enjoy the new car if you can

Got elite suspension if any good for you, how much for your setup????

Has to be SRi really m8 as mine sits quite low and the dealer was quite taken up by how my car looked so i`d find it a little emmbarassing if he noticed the difference. Strut Brace £60 collected

I asked Larisa which of the Two cars she liked best after a test drive in both, they were a 2.2 Signum Elite or my 3.2 Elite estate.................. she chose my 3.2 Elite estate. Good job really. Saved her losing an argument.

I only ask what she thinks before i tell her i've already made my mind up !
But she can't drive so i win everytime.

I wanted an estate. Larisa did not but when we had a "blast" in them both, she liked mine. Larisa as you know can drive. But I still got what I wanted. As and when I can afford to change her,s I will let her do the main choice of replacement. I will offer advice on the good and bad points of what she has her mind on. Joking apart she has her eye on either a Tigra or a Corsa VXR. Should she ever be as lucky to chose either, it will be her choice as I don,t mind either............................................ ... I onyl got one number on the lottery so she has missed it for this week.
