what to buy next?

by stevo turbo » Thu Oct 06, 2011 8:51 pm

Im a bit stuck deciding what to buy next to replace my everyday car (this will be used to go to work and back everyday) so do i ether go old skool with the likes or a mk1 astra GTE or do i go all sensible on the job and go for something like the Vectra b GSI estate?

Asta MK1- Just retro cool! enough said

Vectra GSI- can fit tool box ect in boot no problem, more than enough power to tow a car on a trailer to track days ect

You can't use a Mk1 GTE for everyday car you'll kill and not many left now, I'd go with the Vectra.
