Dropped the omega off to have some work done at my local friendly vauxhall specialist <cough free plug> Walter downing motors Launceston <cough> and asked to borrow a car. I was offered a proton :wtf: I pulled a sad face so was given this instead...

two things jack....

1. the courtesy car is meant to impress the customer, not scare the crap out of them
2. you are meant to get it back in one piece.

Random car to use, is awesome, that dodgy wiring in the engine bay needs sorting tho.

Unusual courtesy car. Normally they give you something newer, doesn't make sense them giving you a modified Nova but is cool that they have.

There was a Vaux dealer in Enfield called PNG Enfield, I know as I live there.

i think you are dreaming a little bit now :) westfield doesnt get used and the s4 you would have to fight him for lol russ's nova isnt a seh unfortunalty is a se out of a mk2 astra gte 8v

it doesnt look like it but me and russ have spent more hours on that nova than you would think the worst bit are the laquar hobbit shown and has got loads of little spiders in the paint but has had a lot less welding than mine lol
