  • Never thought I'd be saying this....

    Hi everyone!
    i have an Insignia!...
    Never thought I'd be saying that let alone joining a forum for them!! 😂
    We're usually a vw family having air-cooled and water cooled cars. The Mr's daily is a new beetle and mine was a 93 t4. However the t4 lost its battle with the tin worm recently ( mot failure..) so a new car had to be found. It needed to be newer and bigger than the beetle (not really that difficult!). I started to look at passats keeping the vw thing going. One was found online, about 80 miles away. A deposit was sent and a week later I went to pick it up. As it turned out it was a right dog and not what was described so I walked away from it. It turned out to be the best decision. On the way home I started to look at other cars online when an Insignia estate drove past us. Hmmm, that ain't too bad looking I thought. Once home I started looking online for one. Ebay was my first call so I put in a search, nearest first. There were a few, before I came across one that I really liked the look and sound of.
    2013 sri vx line biturbo 4x4! Did my homework on it and arranged a look the next day. When I saw it I knew I had to have it. There and then I bought it! There were a few marks and blemishes but the whole package outweighed them. I had to wait a week until I picked it up. It was the first time I drove it too having had no Insurance on the viewing. So what did I think of the drive? Excellent!! 😎 There was one hill I had to drive up and boy did it ever. It pulled and pulled up that hill. Talk about torque!! Lol. This car flew! I had to keep check on the speed as it was too easy for me to go way past the speed limit. Full leather interior and a whole load of features keep me happy too. I'm a very happy insignia driver.
    There, I thought I'd never say that...
    Haha.
    Anyway, long introduction. Hi!!
    Pics to follow..
