Good looking car, but I couldn't live with one!

I've also been looking for an Estate replacement, (not required yet), and the BMW 5 series and Saab 93 are too small in the cabin, (I'm 6'4") plus boot size is tight, the only ones that I've seen big enough are the Mondeo and E class estates.

Old shape accord? Just a thought.

Like the new shape one a lot, but the gap between suspension turrets in the rear really let's it down.

All thing considered, I'm 99% sure I'll be after a 1.9 CDTi Vectra C estate, just depends on when - the 120 is only insurance group 10, the 150 is insurance group 11, but the 150 is a lot more powerful. Both my Omegas are group 16E.
Obviously, this will mean the MV6 will be up for sale (and yes, it does pain me to say, but economics are forcing this!), but that's another thread yet to be started in the appropriate section.
I'll still have the Omega truck so you can't get rid of me that easily!

How big's your drumkit?!  I used to gig with my brother who used to get his kit (single kick, 3xtoms, snare and a few cymbals + all the hardware & stool) into a fiesta!  Guessing you must be playing harder rock and have two kick drums to cram in?

I had a hire car once when I was due to get to a gig - the guy didn't understand why the first thing I wanted to know was 'how big is the boot?'  - I've got to get a double bass into it!'

Small 

Steer clear of that Vectra on eBay way overpriced. I'll have an ask around a few mates they may have something kicking around

2x22 kick, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, toms, 2xsnare, double rack, 7 cymbals, hi-hats, 4 pedals, hi-hat stand, throne, sticks and all the boxes and flight cases.

Del - that ebay one has a smack in the front, seller's reply put me right off anyway.

Looked at one today at Evans Halshaw - 07 plate, slight damage at the front bumper, wheels a bit scuffed, few scratches needing attention, interior not too shabby, dunno if 120 or 150 PS, dunno the miles but when he said £7495 I started walking.

just a thought but why not get a mpv of some sort plenty to choose from and plenty cheap.

Renault arent the best either loads of problems on the latest ones, Chy Voager ok desent oil burns too then there is the galaxy/sharan/alhambra with vw engines,
or vauxhall zafera though i find them a bit small.

Personlly i have a vauxhall sintra 2.2dti 99 model for when we all go out together 8 seats 48-50 mpg on a run 40 round town

 I've never fancied the mpv's, they always seem too high off the ground.
