It was yes,
Pretty sure they've changed them now I haven't popped to see them in awhile,
Think they'll be back out next year. I'll have to ask them.

As Gazza says they were in those videos.
I haven't seen anything from either of them for a while they're usually on vaux-extreme.

I've seen bits and bobs, did see Sam up pod the other week didn't managed to catch him though,
I do know the astra had a 16v head (x20xev) on it last time I saw it,
But went bang on the dyno and took a few bits with it irc.

Are you still trying to imply that the 2.2 didn't/dosn't have a timing chain related issue??
And have the Honda boys given up??
