The chap who bought my old car has posted some new pics of it, its basically as I had it, hes just kept it clean.

I know its a Vauxhall but what do you think?

Very smart Ross, i cant say ive ever considered owning a Vauxhall, but that astra is very very nice...

Very nice looking Astra Ross, I owned several of the mk2's a few years ago.

Nice car! very clean (styling) but typical vauxhall, just look at those shut lines!!! :D:D

very nice ross

v. nice ross.

Very nice, what engine was it?

I must say before the vRS i did consider the 2.0 turbo GSi

It was a 2.0 16v, didnt set the world alight with speed but looked cool.

My Dad bought it new from the Vauxhall dealer I wirked at and I bought it from him a few years later.

Its done 80,000 miles now.

Looks very nice Ross. The wheels look great on that car/colour combo!

I know its a Vauxhall but what do you think?

But..but...but ....It's a Vauxhall .

I used to have a Vauxhall..........but I'm allright now

Very Nice. Prob the best looking Astra I've seen. If it had the new gsi bumper it would be even better.

Very nice, Ross. The wheels are What are they?

Cheers,

Wheels are 8 x 18 Masitaly VT7's

And I would have had the GSi bumper but it wasnt out at the time.

My dad has a 2.2SRI. its a nice car considering the fact its a vauxhall.. the engine is gorgeous (same unit as in the vx220) smooth as a v6 (twin balancer shafts) yet flexible with loads of torque and very very economical.... 40mpg average on a run. (even with my mainiac dad driving) magazines heraled the engine as "the finest 4pot available" and handling on a par with the focus

considering the abuse the car has had (85k so far) the only thing its had go wrong is the clutch slave cylinder.. the whole experience was spoiled by the dealers reluctance to change it (because of the need to remove g/box). they tried replacing master cylinder and various valves first.
