Inspector Morose Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Do those astras have that Vauxhall speciality where it doesn't go into lockup till about 60? My Cav used to do that and made motorway cruising a very relaxed pastime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 My ex had a 1.5TD, it was well rapid and made some really cool noises when booting it. She tried to sell it on and found it had sills made of Wob and paper, and the only trader that came to look actually laughed at it. It was an early B, but this was only about 2002.

cort16 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Are you just hanging around the gates of the scrap yard offering 10 quid extra on what ever someone's weighing in?Those Astra's seem to be thinning out fast. I recon it could be quite cheery if it got hit with the mop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 It's so bad it's actually brilliant. Cartakeback (or local scrappy) will be the recipients methinks, basically whoever offers more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 That's the plan, but I haven't actually seen that yet, let alone heard it start. If it's bollocksed body wise I'm to going to have the mechanical bits off it for the next one and do a conversion.

Cavcraft Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 I couldn't open the boot to do a minesweep, but the rear seats dropped down and I found an adjustable spanner and a new sort of tie down strop thing. The front produced a Phill Collins cassette (I'll take a hammer to that, later) and precious little else. I'll have the wheel trims and battery off and obey KLF and Tammy Wynette's voices in my head.
