Even the 1.8 Vectra C estate is capable of lift off over steer that would make drivers of the original Mini wet themselves ;D

There's bound to be at least one 530d on Copart shortly ::)

While Mr Clarkson is so totally Ford biased that its pointless mentioning his pov on Vauxhall, it has to be said that the footage of the Vectras catastrophic under steer on top gear has to be seen to be believed.

Somewhat renowned you might say.
Nobody takes notice of whats said on TG. Or at least I hope not.

But that level of understeer is easily possible from a GSi even in the dry, so imagine VXR would be worse if you can get the turbo to spool.  Its a frakkin laugh though, but I can see wearing thin ;D

L322 Range Rover, preferably the 06my facelift onwards. 4.4 n/a V8 or the 4.2 sc.
2006+ Volvo S80 D5 or 2.5T, maybe even V8.
2005+ Lexus GS
Subaru Legacy
X350 Jaguar XJ

Do any of those appeal? Or would you want something more compact?

No plans to give up the Omegas as they are all ''work in progress'' for the foreseeable future....but it's got to be the 5.7 litre Chrysler 300c for me,had one in the states and loved it :-* :-*

While Mr Clarkson is so totally Ford biased that its pointless mentioning his pov on Vauxhall, it has to be said that the footage of the Vectras catastrophic under steer on top gear has to be seen to be believed.

Somewhat renowned you might say.

Yep they are so shit that the police didn't use them,or did they ::)

Police use any old shit that goes and is cheap. Whatever deal the fleet manager can get at the time.

They got the even more mental twin turbo ones, not available retail.

I think only the trained traffic got them, though, not plod in a panda.
