    Windscreen cover?

    Is that what your beeping noise was all about?

    Ha ha I wish, now that's still beeping when I unlock the boot :rolleyes:
    New key tomorrow so I'm passing that works. I have windscreen cover alright but it's not at home so is have to wait about for ages.
    That's the next port of call!

    It's a wonder that owning a vectra hasn't choked the life out of car ownership for you and removed the will to ever live or drive again :eek:

    My partner was at home for the weekend. We were at a wedding. She refused to drive it after a quick spin around a car park, made me park it behind the hotel and declared it the worst car I've ever owned.

    She literally couldn't understand why I bought it. That's never happened before :D

    It's a find bangernomics car. The price forgives all.

    Not where the Vectra is concerned :D

    In fact I give up, I've it advertised in my sig if anyone wants it.

    Not much point having a car she point blank refuses to drive

    Does she really drive it that much that you are selling it for that reason?

    The amount of cars driving without lights/broken lights this evening was shocking :(

    Not really I suppose. I've thrown it into my sig but not on dd. I'll hold off on that. If someone here wants it then I'd let it go. If not, no harm done.

    Last night driving from Bansha to Dublin was crazy. No lights, heavy rain and wind, lots driving with their headlights on full beams and foglights on. I was blinded and happy to reach Dublin when I did.

    8 months sitting up and the passat goes with the first turn of the key :)

    I'd sell it but I'd make that little I might as well keep it!

    It unbelievable there was a qashqai passed me Saturday night in town. Passenger dipped light working and drivers foglight that was it. So both parking lights foglight and dipped light blown. As bad as that was at least there was some form of light on each corner.

    As on Friday night on my bad bendy country road where I live there was a good few motorcycles passed me grand. The road is just about wide enough for two cars to pass and theres not much space to spare and the road is really bendy with few straight typical country road. Anyway came around a corner and just seen one strong light other driver wouldn't dip considering motorcycles just passed me I thought this was the same. But I slowed down kept in tight but the headlight was quiet strong. Just as it passes me to my shock a mercedes sprinter with one passenger light working. So no driver parking dip or headlight it was unreal. You think the other driver could have but on his hazard or something so you could see a rough outline of the vehicle. Anyway all you can do is ensure your own lights work if everyone done this we wouldn't have this problem.

    Not the OPC/VXRs ;)

    No they are just Opels that are plotting to kill you while you sleep

    Up at 5am for my flight with Aer Lingus the robbing bastards, fingers crossed the car is as bulletproof as your man says, always enjoy the drive to Holyhead :)

    Speaking of 5am, I was in the new BBQ place on Georges street last night, aside from having amazing food they also have 5am Saint and loads of other delicious beers. Absolute quality! :D

    Very off topic but people should know. :p

    Aussie BBQ is on Richmond Row, the new spot is on George Street, called Pit Bro's.
    I love Aussie BBQ but I think Pit Bro's is my new favorite. :F

    Woop! Back on chrome :D have me dropbox, youtube working.... Just my bookmarks left (I'll figure out how to export that after a while)

    Windows no more, next laptop will prob get the real Linux treatment :cool:

    On topic, trying to parallel park with no power steering is great crack, especially when a Range Rover is up your arse..... Suddenly wasn't so brave when I reversed at him at full speed though ;)
