    hello from the south coast

    Well much to my distress/digust/regret etc i finally got rid of the gas munching 5.7 clubsport Click here to enlargeClick here to enlargeClick here to enlarge but have picked up a vectra cdx 3.2 which i must say pleasantly surprised me :dance: with not only the many features it has but also with the amount of get up and go is has. You cant compare it to an ls1 of course, but the v6 is silky smooth. I still cant come to grips with the front grill, not to my taste, but i think one of the irmscher grills will do the trick, and ive already had the exhaust extended and holes put in the rear bumper. Two twins tips might look a bit wanky but i really like them and i guess thats whats important. Hope to chat with many of you in the future
    regards

    Welcome to OpelAus
    Glad to hear you're enjoying the Veccy. Must be so different to drive than the LS1.
    As Pete mentioned, post some pics up in Members Ride and show off those twin tips

    most definitely at its best fuel efficiency when turned off, to be fair i averaged low 13's in the clubby which is much better than a lot of others get/got, so far in the vectra its low 9's, i guess i dont have the heaviest of feet but i do like to give it a bootful every now and again
