Great looking car you have Adam.

Yeah, I was just about to ask that.
I would believe so, seeing as Chevrolet/Holden/Vauxhall/Opel all live under the same last name: General Motors.

Thanks Guys.
baddabang, not too sure, although it could be (I take it we are talking about the Chevrolet Malibu?) , they are both built by GM so there is every possibility.
Interior looks great in the dark, the dash dials light up red, and bloddy hell the lights on the front are powerful!

No Malibu, this is a much smaller car...but still big enough for european conditions.
Congrats on the car and the price is unbelievable. Obviously the dealer wanted to shift stock..

Cheers. The orig. price was £8995, we thought, Lets haggle him down to £8500, but then he justr came out with it, "il take 8500 for it and a full tank of petrol."
He was the sales manager too, apparently on no commision, so he could knock more off.

I'm not really a vauxhaul fan, but that seems like a good deal... just don't expect any character.

It's a nice car,but IMHO the seats weren't very good. AND I found the suspension a tad bit too hard to be comfortable ...I'm not really a vauxhaul fan, but that seems like a good deal... just don't expect any character.
But anyway,
Hope you have many years of happy motoring with it!!

You ride a mother-****ing push bike! And you're talking about un-comfortable seats!

Always liked those cars, especially the GTS version. Why didn't you get any of those? (Not that this a bad option, but still...)
EDIT - Could you get me some pics of the MINI in the back of pic #1? My girlfriend loves that car...
