Title: A New VW to the Family..
Post by: Saintsteve on September 18, 2012, 01:58:25 pm
Wel not another GTi , but a Gift from my workplace.. Its been a very long 5 years that ive had the pleasure of owning a Vauxhall, but truth be told, its never ever had a single fault go wrong with the old Bus. Came with a Wrap that was very up to date from 5 years ago, and when i was told i was having a Van decorated in Heroes, i was under the imeadiate impression, it was a van dressed in Chocolate sweets  :stupid:, and had never heard of the Series which was very Big in the US.Was also very relieved that designs such as The Simpsons in Pink were about, and also Dora The Explorer were being dished out, led to a few sleepless nights untill i was told  :grin:

anyway the old bus after 41,000 miles went back yesturday...

Limited to 5mph above the national speed limit. That makes sense.

Lower it so that it handles well? You can have lots of fun while still keeping under 75 mph, Steve. It might need bigger brakes though :evilgrin:

That wrap is a bit embarrassing!
