i had a veccy b 1.8 sri facelift and loved it, it was dog slow though. i ended up crashing it at an accident black spot in the rain. i then had a laguna (it was going for £500) so i bought that but the gearbox went on it in the worst all places/times, i then got a ford mondeo mk1 which i didnt like the handling in the rain( felt like it slid past corners instead of going round them) had it 3 weeks before i saw a veccy b sri in a trade paper i didnt like the colour at first but it grew on me, as i dont see many veccy's in that colour.
