Title: Launched Zafira

looks like a fairly remote cottage
if they ran out of logs for the fire,perhaps they are using the Zafira in dash fireplace to keep warm  :-\
it's free,Vauxhall keep sending letters out to us ,
take it back to a dealer and they clean out the ash from behind the dash and re-stock with combustibles FOC  :y

That grey pebbledash looks very Scottish!  ::)   You see it all over the place in the People's Republic of Scotland.  :)

I'll be there were thousands of cameras trained on him at 1:30AM in a remote part of the outer Hebrides. ;D

Or realised he was in a Zafira, and it dawned on him that his life hadn't turned out as well as he'd hoped.  I can understand why any Zafira owner might be feeling a little suicidal...
