yea the astra went bout 6 weeks ago now, i miss the speed like mad and VERY fed up of driving around in 106 1.5d that i have to charge up everyday cos the alternator has gone!!!!!

driving 1000miles up and round scotland was final straw i think, just want a nice car on the road again!!!!

I know it sounds daft - but a nice shiny set of new number plates, (with no tat/flags/logos etc) will finish it off a treat - I was looking at it thinking something was missing and for once I think numberplates will actually help to finish the car

really good work - I'm gonna have to put back a month or so Iaz - I'm struggling through the last few weeks of uni - so cant even think about car for another month or so - then I'll arrange with you if thats ok

i have got plenty on at the min so month + longer for your car is good!!!
