Just had confirmation that my Insignia SRi Nav (160ps) in Silver Lake with 20" Alloys, Leather Sports Pack, Front and Rear Parking Sensors, Bluetooth and 230 volt Rear Power outlet has arrived at the dealers today...Wow Hoo!!!! :) :D

This was ordered on the 16th September so took 7 weeks.

Should be collecting her on Friday.

I'm looking forward to driving it up to Scotland next week from London.

I can now take back the Insignia SE 1.8 VVT back that they lent me while waiting for my one to arrive, thank god, :rolleyes: it was sooooo under powered.

[svpworld]

Very nice, just dont think that air freshener looks right! I clip mine on the rear vents, lasts a lot longer and is less overpowering.. and its hidden from view. My other worry is those things decide to leak oil over the dash... not a nice thought!

[PRO-INSIGNIA]

May i just direct you to the above note??:cool: some great pics in the pic dump area.(-
Here, you chat about them.:cool:

It would be good if the Picture dump chat thread stayed at the top of the page with the Picture Dump. This would I think fix the problem of people spoiling the Album.:o

[chris66]

Its here!



Congratulations Sir. Whites the only colour i like these in. Gorgeous!(-

[svpworld]

Sorry Mitch, just reaction to post when seeing the pics.. must read less haste!

[spida_singh]

My motor is lovelly, still in two minds about getting that ariel painted.....and still waitign on the answer about if they can fit the infinity system or not. Other than that, a very very nice car.

Just enabled the exterior lights to come on when i open the car using the key fob.

Very nice touch!

[Amos]

I done mine i think it makes it blends in better

Sorry for the delay , appreciate comments mitch.

Showed them to the wife who thought I was just sad for taking photos of my company motor in the snow!

[Fabos]

I bet she'd change her mind on enthusiasts, should you become a paid member & turn out to one of our major meets of the year, such as the vboa rally(billing), then i am sure she would appreciate what its all about.(-(-

What date is Billing?

[simonrh]

The conversation went:
-Look at these photos!
*It's your car in the snow?
-Aren't they cool?
*why did you do that?
-To put on the vauxhall owners forum
*You joined a vauxhall owners forum?

At that point I went off to get a cup of tea and try and work out where I had left my self respect.

Have you been recording my conversations with Leanne? Where have you hid the microphone?:confused::D
Its uncanny mate, honestly! She just looks at me, shakes her head saying, "sad, very sad" just before she runs of to the shops for some more shoes to make up for me buying that peice of *%it without telling her. Maybe they should start a club of their own.:D

[simonrh]

Apparently the fact that I sit and there and steadfastly refuse to join facebook becasue it is sad but then am a member of:
VODC forum
KTM forum
Seventeeninches forum (it's bike related before you ask)
sailvortex forum

Is in someway double standards?

I wouldn't have explained that one. (-

In our house its, Big Brother this, Celeb mag that, Reality TV coming out o her ears. There's alway's someone with a sick mother trying to sing/dance/skate their way to fame and fortune on my telly. This is my get out of jail free card to spare me the monotiny of it all. Wait till you try and go to a show. It gets better:D

[simonrh]

Fortunately neither of us can stand reality TV or soaps which is nice. She does spend an inordiante amount of time stood on the edge of lakes or race tracks watching me doing boats or bikes already. So can't complain too much. Think the insignia is "just transport"

Your not bad that the missus gets involved in your activities. If i as much as look at a car when i'm out with Leanne, she has this face that say's a thousand words. Its kinda, i'm bored, are you done yet, how long are you going to be, how can you get excited about a bit of tin with four wheels and can we go shoe shopping yet, all rolled into one look. Priceless!
Meeting up with a few of the guys from the club at the weekend for lunch, and she's coming to that. Will see how that one goes before i tackle the Billing weekend subject.:D

[simonrh]

She always gets load of good feeback about her photos so we we bought her a decent SLR before christmas.

The online version of the ailing magazine picked up a few of them last year which she was chuffed about.

However she spent several weekends at -3C with loads of wind on the edge of a lake in the snow to get a few like this which are quite dark and distant.

I know nothing about bikes Simon. You would have to say, the black one or the orange one.:o Great pic though. One of your hobbies i take it. Boats too! need to get some more pics up. Always great to find out a bit more about the members and what they get up to. My old Cavalier is the only hobby i have apart from having the caravan. Need to get out more i think. :D

[chris66]

What a picture of you on the board with the snow covered field in the background.(-(- The water looks tropical blue which would have been the colour of you when you went in. You must love it. I'm more of a big jacket, gloves and scarf kinda guy.

[simonrh]

I'd need to get a "best of" together or you'd be bored to tears.

Yes, it's the orange bike and my original post now has the boat image working.

[simonrh]

Bizzarely the chap windsurfing in the background was dressed as santa

Noticed the edit after i posted about the bike pic. Great idea for a new thread in Non car chat. What are your hobbies? Most of us will be posting about cars but the pics of yours would be fantastic. A windsurfing Santa. Brilliant! Mad, but brilliant.
