You could fix all of his problems in 5 minutes if you have one of these full of the finest French unleaded

That is even worse than the jeep monster truck thing.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

I beg to differ. 45 minutes with a heat gun will improve that Opel, the Heep is almost beyond saving.

Rich, don't worry, John is just concerned that that Vectra contains more plastic than a Reliant! :lol:

That would be a no then.

As a rival for the Mondeo it was a distant forty second coming in just behind a go-kart.

That wasn't wood. Look again, it's fake brickwork! And that generation of Vectra was a decent enough car as it was the equivalent to the Cavalier MK3, not in itself so truly loathsome as the later one which carried a Vectra badge on Vauxhalls too.

It was the fake brick that amused me. :lol: Terry's solution for the win, as the internet says.

A Renault what now? Galeon? It probably handles like one but I bet it's comfier than a Tranny, especially if she has bony thighs.
