Well wasnt really looking for a new car, was hoping to look for a new car around christmas time as i wasnt sure what I wanted next. Well I was on auto trader and saw an astra down the road for me at a garage at a price i couldnt refuse.

So its bye bye diesel




Hello vxr



No real plan, just refurb wheels and enjoy for a while.
Will get more pictures to come next week.

Fantastic looking cars. There a bit bland in standard form but loads of potential to keep you interested. If you decide to mod it then I suggest starting with the suspension. A set of eibach/DAP springs and a rarb will transform it and all for less than £300.

I dont think I will miss the MPG much as I only work 5 miles away, but will miss the tax band.

Be as well to be the first saying it lol, take care of the gearbox as it's an expensive fix when it goes wrong.

There not to bad, but the 1.7 cdti was never designed for speed, just running costs
