Even still has the plastic cap covers on the wheel nuts to stop them getting dust on them. 

Which a hear can be very dangerous.

Nothing compares 2 U a Jim Bell collection thread. Worth waiting 18 months, but can I be the first to say buy more shite more often!

Winners buy vauxhalls.

(Cars a beut by the way!)

[loserone]

This vauxhall looks better than others I remember

Out on the train. You meet the best people. 

 

This gentleman was browsing the actual physical Wetherspoons food menu. 

 

That's forward planning; no wasting time for your grog and nosebag to arrive, have it waiting at your table when you walk in by ordering it on the mobile telephone application. This man is a time and motion ninja, he probably has a poo count in double figures.

I've no idea man. I didn't notice it till you pointed it out

Inserted in a hidden keyhole it unlocks the bonus feature; a holographic Bob Lutz pops up and explains why voxhuls aren't shite.

Unscrews tyre valve caps, because fingers are for losers.

Lovely ride home with a top lad on the wagon. Told me about his bike engined GWizz with billet axles among other things. Well worth £200. 

 

 

Home. 

Can't help but be impressed with that recovery wagon! The engineering it must take for it to be able to do that with the weight of a car on board is rather cool.

Sorry it was needed tho. Hope the repairs go smoothly.

Yeah he said they normally only use that perticular wagon for really low sports cars with minimal ground clearance. 

So when he heard it was an Astra SXI, he knew he had to use the supercar wagon.

CS is Consort Sportival and CC is Consort Comfort?

Used to be Corps Diplomatic, AFAIK

Bloody lovely thing that. For some unexplainable reason, I've ended up having two Astra G SXis in the past. They're really not a bad steer though, the 1.6 is quite punchy and good on juice, and the SXi spec suspension means it handles pretty well.

If this comes up for sale (hah!) I might be interested...

[Jim Bell]

Well we left this on the naughty step, having a good long think about how it's behaved. 

I wasn't massively concerned. Sometimes I quite like GETTING THE BUS TO WORK.
