Probably - then I think I do too :oops: . We have had 8 Vauxhalls :oops: (and by using a GM Card have saved literally thousands - even buying two at a time and selling one on for profit ).

Its the old shape - much cheapness due to them wanting rid of the older models.

a wee bit cheaper than this...

I saw one of those Alfa Mito's in white today... must have been a sporty trim as it had red calipers & tinted windows.... looked better than I thought it would (from the magazine pics I've seen). If they put a half decent engine in that to rival the likes of Cooper S's.... and dropped the price a bit... it could have been a winner.
I have no signature.
