[alan b]

[NovaLad]

Where did you get it from and how much was it plus delivery?

[alan b]

i bought it from my opel dealer i collected it from there, 186 euro, thats around 130 pound?!

[Steve]

Nova looks good mate, actually so do both the astras! lol

So you keeping it redtop or are you going for a turbo next?

[alan b]

turbo would be nice but dont have the money to do it and 'let's' are very hard get over here!

[Adam Moran]

Just out of interest...

Is it Opel over there and not Vauxhall?

[alan b]

ya bud only opel vauxhalls were never sold here, we have no salted roads either so no rust to wory about!

Shame about the engine bay not being the same colour as the car but otherwise looks good.
