As I said guys, I was expecting the replies - most I'd hope are banterous in all honesty, because people wouldn't rather walk would they, give them a 50 mile trip in the cold and rain by foot or by Vectra and I know which they'd chose. 
Interestingly give them a 306 with a leaky heater matrix, a f*cked blower motor and wipers juddering all over and they'd probably still prefer the Vec, whether or not they'd admit to it! 
Really I couldn't care less if anyone does or doesn't like it, its just a piece of metal at the end of the day, and some people seem to get massively over protective of thier peices of metal to the point where everyone elses peice of metal must be wrong or shit..... I've owned more 306s than any other car (and probably more than half the people on here!) so far and I'm now on car number 12, so I should be able to make my own decision by now lol. Funny thing is a lot of people make judgement/opinions without even having driven the car....
I just put the thread up as some people were geunuinely interested about it and asked on facebook or chatbox or whatever. And tbh I don't think I'll be at any meets in the near future, and I don't go to the cruises any more so I'm unlikely to see anyone from here.
Also who was it then? Who texted you about the exhaust (someone with a '6 I guess?)? Jealousy can be an awful thing!! But seriously, if people feel better by putting other people down then thats up to them really, they obviously get something from it, as I said I'm really not bothered whether anyone likes my car or anything else for that matter, I just get what I need/want for my circumstances, which will probably be different to other peoples.
