There already is one. I've only been spotted once and ironically it was outside London when I was living in the Netherlands and we both posted having spotted each other lol.

Would do no harm, forum seems to be getting rather quiet over the last year sadly though :(

A bloody shame as the searchable resource of forums is far better than the 9000th person asking the same question 20 minutes after the 8999th did on that bloody site! 

[02VRS]

Couldn't agree more, I don't do facebook at all so miss stuff, build threads and tech stuff all gone.

[RedOctaviavRS20]

So lads think it’s time we got the ball rolling and got another meet on the go!

 

was thinking end of August, start of September ?

 

who’s up for it and where suits everyone?

[cormac81]

Slightly off topic the guys from RMS are having a run on August 19th down to Fubarland, Fermanagh. Starting off at Lisburn and should have some fine machinery at it.

 

But yes a meet in September would be good, lets make it better than last time eh @blackfaviavrs19

 

Im open to all suggestions for a venue, but the shafties just don't like travelling lol

I recall some of you lusting after older Astra's? I saw this car on the road today and it made me think of you lot, then it's just now popped up for sale on FB. Wonder if damage was this afternoon after I saw it, as not many about. No idea if of any interest to anyone.

[FUBAR]

Damn it, I thought I saw that car today in Enniskillen, which meant I was in the Audi, but having had a look on it's memory card, no.... So I must have seen it in the Skoda just before that as I swapped cars after taking the dog for a run. I did indeed see the same car before it's accident. Wiper wasn't working before the bonnet flew open and smashed itself and windscreen then and he must be a bit cheesed off so fired it up for sale. (I have seen this car around the odd time). That's my detective work done for today, can you tell I've been off work for 2 weeks and am bored? 

 

[02VRS]

Columbo wouldn't be in it lol. Cormac has a bit of a soft spot for Astras. Couldn't be many GSI's left that's a real shame. I remember hearing of a guy with one back in the mid 90s, sold it on the Saturday and went to work. It was stolen that night and recovered the next morning. He got damage to door repaired and all tidied up before new owner collected it on the Monday evening and said nothing! 

[cormac81]

Yeap I have a bit of an astra problem, that guy sells quite a lot of sporty cars particularly Vauxhalls. The astra doesn't look bad but its not the sought after redtop 2.0 version.

Yup low mileage indeed just ticked on to 54k miles.

 

its a good spec aswell has xenons, 18 inch zeniths, jumbo box upgrade and maxidot do well chuffed with it. Ex Demo for a Skoda dealer in worcestershire

Red one looks much nicer in the combi shape IMO
