I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

158,000 on the clock and probably does about 2mpg with your precious £1.50 a litre fuel, and with a vauxhall badge on it too...
Probably about on the money.

More miles than the Starship Enterprise, more drivers than the average golf club, but it will have been well maintained.

Be a cool car to have though, you won't get much better in the way of a sleeper for the money.

Apart from the "slight" drop in power from 280 to 208bhp  The Elite's are ok, but the VXR is quite a bit quicker.

indeed, the vxr has twin turbos i believe.
I want a new car for work you see, we'll be the fastest kitchen installers in the north  Just a shame that one is so far away. Theres a place
in sowerby bridge doing ex police which is nice and close.

on the point of fuel consumption, i would be using it for work so id have the vat back and its a legitimate expense, both purchase of the car and the
fuel, so you save the tax and NI too. So a litre of super effectively costs about 80p

insurance comes in at £850 inc business use, which aint bad in my books!
Its either something like this, a t5, or a legacy turbo.
