Hey all,
Well it's been over a year since I sold my VY and I think I am over it now. I now spend my time between my Harley Sportster and my Astra turbo diesel 6sp manual.
Before anyone takes the ****, consider this...
The Astra has more torque than the VY 6 (320 vs. 305) and uses less than half the fuel to have just as much fun. It also has almost the same 0-100 time (maybe slightly better) as well as 6 airbags, ABS, TC, ESP and a Sports button that actually works to improve throttle and steering response unlike the VY "wank" button!. Belgium built and I can fit my 7 piece drum set in it EASIER than the VY (sedan).
Negatives: Definitely smaller in the drive seat although I wanted a small car. Also the diesel is pretty noisy but inside the car is not noticeable.
And my 1998 Harley - well what can I say! I ride it every day to work and unlike most people's understanding it is totally reliable, sounds awesome and looks mint.
So yes, I do miss my VY with all the work and extras I put into it, but someone else is enjoying that now and I am not left "wanting":thumbsup:
