Rarely ever gets used these days, but thought ild give it some attention the last week and give it a major clean. Had a good few pennies spent on it the last few months -
- Bumpers/Sides resprayed.
- Newman Cam, uprated valves fitted.
- White engine bay hoses
- Full Vaux service on 60k miles.
- White strut brace + Battery bag of a mk4 astra
Really doubt theres many gtes in better condition on the road, not a mark on it. 
Plans; considering selling in near future as having 2cars and funding for a house may be a tad difficult at mo, but that idea will most likely change and result in CARBS 2011  the noise

Needs new wheels to be fair:

The engine bay could do with tarting up a bit, paint some things, will look much better!
But it generally looks clean, straight and you should be proud of it.

Still a very clean example, your keeping it well.
Hope its well locked up, heard my last one was stolen recently and burnt out. Would be a terrible shame to see it happen to that.
I wouldnt change a thing on it apart from perhaps going slightly lower

Cheers! yeah selling the plate is an option. Actually have been tempted to change the wheels back to the standard refurbed jobbies.

And ricky- thats bad news mate  shame the vaux's of that era are not very thief proof. thankfully its always secure; doubt it would last long out there if used daily unfortunatly.
And aron.. will try pursuade jimmy! tempted indeed.
