Silky Shadow Green 

Looks very good apart from the metallic snot green, I don't think I could live with that.

[Rods2]

I can just imagine it, cold winters day, thick with a head cold, screech of tyres as you jump out and have a good nasal cleaning sneeze all over your tin hankie. Smart thinking, perfect camouflage, nobody will notice.

Did you not try and Knock em down

No. Haven't even seen it yet. Us young, techy people do it all on the Internet. It's in Sheffield, they are bringing it to Barnsley and next Saturday morning, provided both sides are happy, exchange keys.

So when they see your Daewoo in the flesh.......

That £6500 may be considerably reduced.

Will you stop worrying about other people's car transactions. It will all go fine. I cannot lose, my car is in excellent condition and, if they don't like it, they can lump it and refund my deposit. I don't need to change my car, I am choosing to change my car.
I've already warned the salesman about how I do business, when he said we had a few 'bits and bats' to clear up, I told him..no supaguard, no gap insurance, no extras whatsoever. He said I was a bastard as his wife and kids were starving, I laughed and the groundrules were set. ALWAYS be prepared to walk away.

I did that when I bought the Honda, they were not very happy when I did not want their finance, or gap insurance, but I was surprised to get a little more off when I mentioned I knew the owner of the Supaguard franchise, I got a friends discount........ Obviously I could not say why I knew him.....

Going to pick it up on Thursday, think I'll wear sunglasses when I go.
1) So the colour doesn't look to bad through tinted lenses, and
2) So no one recognises me driving it.

It's quite simple. Don't buy it if your not happy. ...oh, yes sorry, I was forgetting.


Surely this is a wind up Steve?

Of course I like it. What's not to like?

Bile green will grow on you.

We've had snot green and other suggestions, but I think bile green is just about right   
Least it's not SS

Yeah, you'll not be losing it in a carpark in a hurry

The 1.4 Astra is gutless, 1.6 passable (unless on the J when it is borderline).

Yes, I know.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Yes, I know.

So you are looking forward to owning a 'gutless' car.

Judging by the photographs it looks quite hefty for only 1400 cc.

I'm not looking forwards, or backwards, to anything. My cars suit my pocket and my purpose, nothing more. The Orlando is fine, just had it valeted and it's immaculate, just don't fancy the time when I have trouble keeping it on the road.

The garage I am trading it at was a Chevy dealer. Salesman told me they never sold one orlando retail, every one was mobility.

[05omegav6]

I suspect the Skoda Roomster suffers the same ignominy

Best review I can find on the 1.4......
