Thoughts on this one then , seeing as we have got over the 3.2 omega frenzy 
Vectra shape growing on me now and some bargains to be had 

2.8 VXR

[the alarming man]

looks ok that ....although the 2.2 don't do corners at speed....the 2.8 is not going to be better

[The Sheriff]

Don't like the look of that seller. His listings are all over the place. That's a V70 in the details underneath. Other cars have 0 miles......no care taken.....just don't like it.

[the alarming man]

the seller was he not a member on here a few years back???.....(his name may be simon)

As for the car, king expensive for one of those... The last '09 cars were barely making 3k at auction... 

Stupidly fast though and better to drivecthan Clarkson woukd have you believe

The 3.2 V6 Vectras are shockingly bad to drive. Fun, oh yes, immense fun, but shockingly bad.  I can only imagine ex-plod (generally twin turbo? not available retail) is a whole heap more "fun".

So whats the difference with an ex police vxr and one sold to the public new  Is the police one chipped to go faster

In many cases, plod is twin turbo

Was watching Traffic Cops last night and some farmer managed to "park" his White VXR Insignia in a hedge. Probably looking at his phone judging by the approach angle

I particularly enjoyed the "don't open the boot cos the smack weed guns swag dogs will escape" routine... Ok mate. I'll believe you. On your way with 2 bald tyres in the pissing rain. Unreal.

Anyway, I digress 

Can't see as he could have understeered into that position can you?

They eat tyres, clutch's are the weak point, brakes take an absolute hammering,
There was a constable in Shropshire who was recorded at a very gas speed,few years ago,that was a 3.2,
They will go off the clock.Millbrook bowl.
