There seem to be some really unusual cars coming onto PH now...

Such as a Vectra GSi V6 on Wirral (Maybe it's on LPG but I don't think so)

Today I saw a smart 54 plate Mondeo ST in Ellesmere Port (Not sure if it's a V6)

Anyone else seen anything like this?

I just think some people plate their existing vehicles when they get newly licensed, but doubt they keep them for long once they work out how much it costs in fuel.

TBH I can never work out why people have petrol cars, but many do. :?

In Glasgow:

A 56 plate Mercedes C Class working for a local PH. (Must be doing executive runs during the day? but at night he's out double parked, blocking the road picking the drunken clubbers up like all the other PH.)
And a Vectra VXR (The Vauxhall equivilent to a mondeo ST.)

Mondeo ST, Rover ZS and a Jag X-type running around in Renfrewshire as PH. Mind you there is also a Meriva kicking about, must be knackered if there is 2 cases going to the airport in that.

Seen that Mondeo in Glasgow last night with Renfrewshire plates. 8)

I'd rather get a nice Vectra 1.9CDTi hatch from Patons for £11,000.

They're the Exclusiv trim level with plenty of extras.

Brand new and a decent diesel engine. More than adequate.
