On my last trip I was taken home from Gatwick in a nice white ex plod Omega Estate. Tomorrow night I have to suffer in an Insignia. What is the world coming to?

It's the gay driver I'd be worried about.

Playing snooker? Mind he doesn't ask you to put a bit of bottom on something. ;D

He won,t know whether to go for the soft pink or tight brown. :P

Getting cold feet, are we?

A neighbour has one and it is a bit ugly.
Most of the cars near me are ugly and horrible.
As I have told neighbours an Omega with no wheels, no bonnet, full of scrap parts still looks better than most cars on the road

Nah.

My wife is ugly so we have compatibility with the car - she also owns an Insignia.

I wonder if Al has a tablet in his car so your good lady could wile away the time by, say, perusing OOF?

The best you would get from Al in the tablet stakes is a Rennie....

Depending on where you're flying in from, you may need one.

One of you is ugly, and it's not your dear lady wife. :P

He's smelted my wheels into some phallic shaped ingot.

Question - if I was to be seen climbing into a white Insignia at 4.15am would the neighbours (if awake) think that I was up to no good/ going cottaging or similar?
What to do.
This may become a reality tomorrow!!
-
Hmmm what to do? A gay ride or a straight walk... :-\
You probably won't be feeling much at that time in the morning so take the ride! :y
You might even enjoy it!! ;D

If you were seen getting or being put into the back of a white insignia,in a certain area of west Yorkshire,they would just think,he been arrested again for committing un natural acts around calder park again :)

They are quite cheap already, from TB's favourite dealers:

We looked at them for MotherT, the boot is not great compared to Omega. Prices are not too bad either:

Comfort seems to be a common complaint especially on a long run :-\ You dont get that with the Mv seats on any run .

I don't know if Elite cloth seats in them, are different, like the Omega :-\

As someone who has driven a base model (Exclusiv) 130bhp Insignia diesel to the south of France and back again, I can say that, for me, it was a pleasant surprise how comfortable it was, remembering I had a buggered back following a smash a few months earlier.
The only discomforts I suffered were an ear infection, and my arse being ripped to shreds by those lying retards are Le Shuttle. Neither of which were the fault of the car.
Obviously, everyone is different though.
-
My issue might be a combination of being a similar rotundness, a foot taller, and having to pander to the inconvenience of carrying passengers ;D
Not gelling with the car, it adds to the list of reasons to dispose of it, although it's not the cars fault that I'm partial to the occasional takeway/McDonalds/chocolate peanut butter/tube of Pringles/tub of ice cream ::)
-
Rear headroom is a big issue, and the boot is smaller than it looks (going by my attempts to cram all Mrs TB's shite in it 2 years ago)

It is the cars fault that your passengers can't sit straight in the back though. Head room is hopeless in the back.
-
Well when you put it like that...
The daft thing is, it's almost exactly the same length and height as the VXR8, the only difference being that the VXR8 is about 4" wider, and a better shape :-\

.. and has a proper engine, burning the correct fuel, isn't "shopping wheel drive", etc. ::)
-
Tell me about it :-[
My remedy should at least be rear wheel drive, but might be wrong fuel/gearbox :-X

Thought you would have gone for the Estate version :-\

It's no good telling him that now though, is it Tunster! ;D

Nice interior IMO. But the roof slopes back behind the drivers head. The vxr8 doesn't. But then the vxr8 is not really available as an Estate. :(

In an ideal world, the car I bought is not the one I would have ordered. However, the fifteen or so grand price difference seemed to justify the compromise, especially having never had a real issue with a Vectra C saloon...
