Hello.

Postby Jeremy Oxton » Sat Mar 24, 2012 7:55 pm

Hello.

I have been driving Vauxhalls since 1992 when I bought my first Viva. At the moment I'm driving a Mercedes, though, as my Viva is beginning to feel too prescious for ploughing sleet and snow.
Despite my username I am Finnish, but I prefer translating my name into English on international forums. Probably Jeremy Oxton will be easier for you than Jarko Häkkinen, anyway.

Greetings Jarko/Jeremy. :welcome: to the forum.

Would love to see pictures of your Viva, are there many other ones about in Finland?

These translators are a miracle indeed.

I have a photo of my Viva somewhere, I might post it. Nothing spectacular, though, just an ordinary two door 1300 DL in Honey Starmist. There are a few Vivas in Finland, albeit it seems most of them are these days sporting Magnum mechanicals. We have an active Vauxhall Bedford Owners' Club, too - very much needed with such rare cars.
