On the way there



And there

UPDATE:

26th April

There is a new member to the fleet. Ben (Who owns the Corsa Van and had his Scooby stolen) has just picked up his new car from his local Vauxhall dealership

Say hello to number 36 Vauxhall Astra VXR Nurburgring Edition

















The happy boy and his 2 ladies











He now has 2 white Vauxhall 2.0 Turbo FWD cars

And before you ask, it won't be staying standard for too long.

Watch this space....

No It makes a noise low down but when opened up its pathetic.... Will get a De-CAT'd Exhaust system some time later this year. That should help

UPDATE:

3rd May 2008.

This ones Skoda heavy im afraid. Basically my brake calipers were starting to look a bit tatty





So yesterday I decided to wip the wheels off and give them 2 coats of Hammerite Smooth Green





And whilst I was at it I washed & waxed the wheels









Then today I got a bit carried away with washing it



5 hours later and I had finished

So I thought I might as well take some pics for my troubles before it gets dirty again tonight. lol











The missus's new corsa (She brought it off one of my mates)

UPDATE:

12th May 2008

Modball Stickers have arrived..... Although the Van has lost oil pressure which needs looking at asap. May have to take the Fabia if there's a major problem



And we gave my girlfriends new corsa a good clean and ClarBar'd. She's very happy with it so far and she's already thinking of a couple of mods













Thanks again to Paul off this site for selling it her

No worries mate, glad your missus is liking it.

I am enjoying my new turbo power :-) just noticed bens astra has a extra solid bit of pipe from the intercooler to the throttle body, with what looks like a sensor in it. I don't have one on my engine :-( any ideas what it is?

Oh yes she is, she's whizzing about everywhere in it! lol. Need to get those centre caps off you though.

Im guessing it'll be either a MAP sensor or Air Inlet temp... one of the two.
