I've had a Vectra 2.0 Turbo petrol and now use a Signum 2.0 Turbo petrol for work.  Yes, that engine does have some grunt.

The Vectra was an estate - 4 up with full camping gear onboard to the 2004 Classic doing naughty speeds on the Alencon - Le Mans motorway  ;D

my dad has the 1.9 cdti (low bhp model) and that zips down the motorways and still gets silly MPG!  :o nearly 900miles to a tank last year to lemans sat at 90 ish on the auto route.

The Vectra C is a very over looked car, incredibly comfy but some have issues as smokie has found out :(

American Airlines Boeing 777 to Paris CDG, then one-way renter to Angers, then RV from Angers to Bleu Nord. Dave and I should be cracking our first frosy Nigerians with our UK based buddies around 4.00pm Thursday.
(There ain't no substitute for a private shower and thunder-box).
Not long now.....

We'll be taking the old girl again, to both 24hrs (5th time) and Classic (all so far)
Plenty of space, comfort, pace and style,  oh and petrol ;D

But only because he could afford the petrol.  Even taking an Aston you'll be about £100 poorer than last year.

And the Galaxy is the only car to offer, as an optional extra, a bike rack - that goes inside

Hi Martin
Thanks for the offer dude, really appreciate that. Fact is, Rick, Janine, Mark, Neil and Chris stocked me up good and proper at Sebring, so I'm replete with PG Tips - thanks again.
What I suspect I might need - and this is a miracle potion that I find difficult to source here in the US, is Resolve. Second only to the fabled Mars bar chocolate drink as an instant hang-over cure, it is waaaay better than Tylanol and a damn sight easier to imbibe. So, if your feeling generous, a couple of sachets would be much appreciated and rewarded with a similar quantity of cold tubes of Nigerian.
Hopefully I'll bump into you during the course of t'weekend.
