My previous ride...

I own a Vauxhall Astra forum with over 12,000 members so have run Astras for the last few years, the last being my Astra VXR Nurburgring Edition that i spent a small fortune on





Pimp my ride interior











I sold this about 2 months ago to buy a new house, but as you can see ive since bitten the bullet and bought a 335D

Im hoping to fund some of my mods via work (ill mention this at some point) but for now the BM will be left alone ( famous last words)

I also used to be a member of the same forum, and remember all the mods that Abyss did to his cars. Suffice to say he knows his stuff where Vauxhalls are concerned, and I guess he will apply the same ethic to his beemer.

Welcome to the mad house Abyss!

I didnt go to far with this one, was a 2.0 16V Turbo Petrol running approx 280bhp via an EDS re-map. Previous car was a 1.9CDTI Diesel Astra Estate that we took to 220bhp c/o a FMIC exhaust etc etc...

I was planning on buying the new Twin Turbo 2.0CDTI Insignia but once i did the maths the BMW was the better bet as well as being the better car

I test drove a couple of VXR's - I LOVE how they look. I mean look at this one - wow.

But as for go, well I was dissapointed - my Wolf Racing Focus ST was quicker and handled the power so much better.

But hang on, did I mention how the VXR looks? I mean look at this one - wow!!!

A 200bhp 1.9CDTI is an equal match to a standard VXR...
