I am sure you were only joking but just in case it is a Vauxhall Vectra car, its a 1.9 diesel and despite being 18 yrs old with 160,000 miles on its brilliant. We went the lake district two weeks ago it was averaging 55miles a gallon we get 38 around town. We service it every year last 3 MOT`s it has sailed through. Mechanic said wow you look after this the emissions are really low for its age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These brands are never seen on roads in North America, maybe in a collectors garage or something, but a Vectra? I'll google it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro_Dad Posted Wednesday at 19:44 Share Posted Wednesday at 19:44 @Daniel-KWill be great to hear a fellow owners take on this scope - it’s working very well for me so far. Typically after some excellent early observing sessions with it we are now in a run of cloudy nights apparently… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
