[MrBeef]

Hey guys, well just over a month ago I rolled my car (check my profile for pics).

So we bought this
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 121074.htm

A 1996 Holden Vectra 2.0
A Very nice car to drive, rather big. Has plenty of get up and go and handles real nice. Would have liked to get a toyota however I didnt have a say, seeing as how my parents were forking out the $3,700 for it. Which is really good for a car in this condition so tidy.





Just some pics I took this morning, only had a week now at home and it's all ready filthy hehe.

So now im in the "none of this jap crap" club haha, and i can curse the germans if something goes wrong heh.

oh well this should last me a while I guess.

I'm driving my parents old Vectra at the moment. 800kms to a 60litre fill, 500 of those kms were around town. Bloody long in the gears for a 4 banger, just under 2500rpm @ 100 in 5th.

You gona put one of those ugly HSV Clubsport bumpers on it?

[MrBeef]

fuel economy aint bad, its only a 4 cyclinder it aint a thirsty 3.8 v6.

Very long gears, does 110 in 2nd just before the rev cut at 6,6 revs. Has very nice "whine" at the high end of its rev range.
