No, but it's now been posted there!

I think that this forum needs a "sin bin" thread of vehicles after seeing how not to do a woody opel!

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


and one of these


That is even worse than the jeep monster truck thing.

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

It's a Vectra, I prefer my solution

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

Let's have a show of hands.............. anybody?!?!
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. 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.
