Last night i had to pick up my car from my very local garage which happens to be a vaxhall garage, i had an oil leack checked. Any way i got talkin to the bloke about this 3 day trial thing, i thought it'd be nice to have something for the weekend to give a thrash lol so we got talkin about different models etc and then he decides to take me out on a test drive of a new Astra SRi 2 litre turbo. by f**k did that thing go and it was so nice, full leather interior, nice smooth gear change, so quite and comfortable and smooth, i loved it!
Got back in my 206, nuts seats, nutsty clunky gears, noise. I thought this thing has to go!
if only i could afford the VXR astra comming out soon very nice but 19k

I wish i could have one but unfortuantly i have to be more sensible so its lookin like im gonna have to sell my pug and get a van instead!  A van can earn me more money to save up for a nice car so i have to look at it in the long run |

Sweet might go test drive on some time, test drove a celica gt4 the other day that was nice but felt very heavy with the four wheel drive system gonna try a mr2 turbo and an evo3 next month. Decided to go Jap in the end when i saw what i could get plus the inport guy saw my car and offered me 4500 trade in cos his son wants in. Nice eh.

Its a 99 xs, so thats why im biting his arm off. BUt been chatting to his son for a while and it works out better if a dealer buys it and i buy one of his cos he gets the sale and more tax breaks or summit im not sure but pretty happy, i paid 4500 for it in october and so far spent 3k modding it. His sons only 17 so ideal first car as only a group 5 hence y i bought it.
