I’ve been a member on here nearly 20 years, when I joined I owned my Corsa GSi and that was the last Vauxhall I owned. Until now. I’ve just bought a 2007, one owner, Astra VXR

I keep thinking I should buy a Corsa VXR at some point, they're about the same money as I gave for my GSi in 2004, reckon there's only so cheap they can go before they go back up.

Yeah I’d love a Corsa VXR as a weekend toy but I can’t warrant one with the family etc.

clubsport or Nurburgring got to be worth a look? some nice equipment from factory. Always fancied one, sure I posted on here about it. Quite possibly a disappointment after my Fiesta ST though, that car advanced the game somewhat.
I tend to think about things in an abstract way though. Imagine back in 2003 a time traveller posted a pic and the specs of a corsa VXR we would literally all drop dead on the spot from wanking to it. It's pretty much the absolute wet dream of any corsa B owner back in the day

Clubsport is match for Fiesta... just but no where near reliable as the ST

Are they that bad? Other then the melting piston thing is there much else they suffer from?
I still think the nurburgring and club sport ones are really good looking cars
, aged well and I didnt like the facelift with the big bonnet vent etc.
Drives supercharged Tec with torque
