Bought this car, the night after i managed to pop my 106 into a ditch, here is the 106!

loved that lil car, o well!
about a week later picked up the astra, gave it a stonking all day clean and she looked like this:

And then after a few weeks of piss taking about the tow bar and grandad/family man comments(which came in useful in case i reversed into anything, with the car being a lot bigger than the 106), off that came and so did the badges and so did the orange indicators and a badgeless grill!

and here is where i stand now, after another major cleaning session:

Thinking about changing the wheels to a better set of astra ones (for insurance purposes), already de-restricted the air box jus waiting on k&n panel filter ro come through, and then later on sum darker rear lights and some colour coding!

its not a pug, but hopefully should be a lot more reliable and love the extra power and space!
