To those who know me through Facebook as well as on here this will not be news but in order to keep this thread up to date I thought I would let you all know:

Yup! I've done it again.

Bought another car.

This time I really have pushed the boat out and gone radical.

Presenting my new car.

So that means you can get a 75 / ZT as a "boys toy" with all the money you're saving on fuel and VED.

I have seen a couple on the road and they are a very handsome car.

Hi Richard, not surprised you didn't recognise it. Not exactly a big seller. But yes, an Ampera.

Lovely idea, but unlikely to happen for some time. I have not ruled it out though at some point, just not for a while unfortunately.

Thanks.

I agree, of course and much better looking than its "sister" the Volt. It does attract some attention as they are so rare. I believe Vauxhall only sold 150 in the whole of 2013. Might start to see a few more on the road now the price has been dropped a bit too.
