Nice one, Aunt and Uncle have one as a 'weekend' car and they really like it  :y

I think every car made since the Omega 3.2 has better fuel economy ;D but they are still a fantastic go-kart to fling around when they are on decent springs and shocks and i'm in no rush to get rid of mine.  :y

It was a bastard to keep clean but looked suitably demonic. >:D

I've been thinking about your purchase, Opti, and it dawned on me that you'd bought new. I must say I'm surprised at this, you'll be giving the government a fortune in VAT, which you'll never get back.

As I said.

My intention was to buy a 2 or 3 year old car. for about 50% of the full list price. However, the prices were too close for comfort to a brand new car with a 3 year manufacturer warranty.

Second hand prices are silly at the moment.........you know what your Astra is (still) worth.

Hmmmm.....yes....I understand, but c.£7000 is still a lot of VAT. I guess you looked at the numbers, so you know what's what, but that would definitely stick in my craw.

My astra is worth less, a lot less, than your contribution to government coffers. But I'm only a northern, poverty-stricken pensioner  :'(
