Hi everyone
Was signed up to the 'other' forum but never got round to posting for one reason or another. We used to be a 2 Insignia family, the first was an 09 1.8VVT Exclusiv which was great, good reliability, bit weak in the performance department though. Anyway, it was so good I decided to buy another one to be the main family car, so the 09 one had a gentle life just running locally. The second one was a 14 plate sports tourer, which is the one in the profile picture. It had just been delivered to the dealership when I took it, hence the lack of number plate! Elite Nav spec in black (carbon flash if memory serves me correct) with the 2.0 SIDI 250PS petrol engine and 6 speed auto box
. Added a couple of options, 20" alloys and the VX-Line body kit, but funds were limited due to the negative equity in my part ex so didn't go crazy. It's an absolutely brilliant car, a real sleeper, can't praise it highly enough. And got it when they were still doing lifetime warrantys 
so have already had a new wing mirror after the motor that folds it gave up.
However, the 09 one had to be part ex'd at the beginning of the year due to a surprising double addition in the offspring department, meaning there wasn't enough room for us all to fit in with 3 car seats etc. We were sad to see it go, but now have a suitable replacement, so my Insignia ST is having a very relaxing life with the odd long journey to stretch its legs
Off topic, I do have the genuine Vauxhall boot liner out the old hatchback sitting in the garage if anyone is interested. I'll do a proper for sale post at a later date in the correct section when I have time.
