Well'ard geezers in 10 year old Vectras
Do they really think that they look cool, with their elbows out the window and their prematurely balding heads? 
I guess they want to look like they're just about to do a Bank job. Their dream ride would be a dark 10 year old Range Rover with a pair of pretend sawn-off 12 bores in the boot.
I think they just look like ****.

LOL i had one come in yesterday for a carwash 
Bit of a mini beefcake, not the most polite bloke, tracksuit bottoms and the obligatory nike air max trainers
"here mate, am gonna use this voucher i got from me insurance company aye?"
"What`s the date on it mate?"
"November"
"No problem, pull around and i will put you in, is that your vectra parked up"
"Aye"
"You do realise that you will be entering the wash at your own risk with low profile tyres fitted?"
"Ehh? what the **** for? this is bull**** i want my free wash"
"You can have your free wash, no problem, pull around and i will put you in, but we are not liabel for any wheel damage if your alloys are not in spec with the various warning signs"
"Here, give us that ****en voucher back, i will get the pakies down the road to do it instead"
"Mate, that voucher will not work at any other wash unless it is an ARC one"
"This is ****en bull****!"
He then left, smoking his tyres

I know exactly what you mean, I was thinking the same thing yesterday, they accesorise them as well, sometimes Lexus lights, stripes and all the other parpahenalia from Halfords, the V6 seems to attract the Alpha Male *** as well, that said one stopped to let us across the roundabout when walking with the kids to go for a meal, he had to brake from about eighty though.
I am not against old cars, Vectra's in particular but driven sensibly, unadorned with the windows up and no music blaring out they are fine, if you have such a car, dont draw attention to it !
J4CKO realises the irony of his post having a Saab 9-3 Aero which is basically a Vectra underneath, its just a middle class acceptable version of the same.

I think the same blokes used to have Vauxhall Senators, used to be ranks of them parked at the computer fair at Bowlers in Manchester, always driven by fat, shaven headed blokes with Megadeth T shirts and a key chain off their Farah slacks.

must say i have owned a vec previous to the scoob, i am also a moderator on a Vec owners club, BUT.... i know what you all mean about SOME (not all) Vectra drivers, there are a few that actually spend quite a bit on there cars, and modify them tastefully.
My favourite are the V6 drivers that seem to think they can beat anything on the road, then you got the ones that stick a K&N (well Max Power) on the car then think its a rocket ship.

Is a ectra V6 actually quick ?
Have to say I heard one with an aftermarket exhaust recently and it sounded superb, not superb for a Vectra, just compared to anything, was quite dissapointed when I saw where the noise was coming from.

Hey - that'll just serve me right.
A mate was very chuffed with his B7 RS4 and was "cruising" around Bristol. Some chavvy hatch pulled up alongside him at the lights - my mate grinned, floored it and..
....got completely blitzed! Must have been a proper conversion!
Three months later he went to MTM for a supercharger...

There is a guy that works in company next to mine. I would say he is late 30s. Piece of **** Vectra SRI with Halfords alloys and a rather naff looking chrome tail pipe. Whenever he sees me he blips the throttle... 
What a TIT

SRI = as fast as a decomposing turd.
GSIs are more useful but still handle like total cack (to the point of being dangerous). Vectras have always been joke cars.

A mk1 Escort is can be a £3k as can many classics - that doesn't mean they are crap. Value is meaningless. After all many might consider an ST a £20k piece of crap (not me though)...

Yes but you can get a lot of car for £3k including some classics - so why judge a car on it's value?! I judge cars on what they actually are, not what they might be worth.
