An Astra VXR!!!! yes, that's right ladies and gents, I said the "A" word. I've never read "that" post about a certain Astra of the VXR but this weekend I found a blue Vauxhall rapidly getting closer to my bumper in my rear view mirror whilst on a country road on the way home. My mind suddenly flashed to something I had heard about Astra VXRs on this forum. Part of me was quite excited, the rest was just all icy terror. The thought that I was going to be mangled and spat out by a Vauxhall. But I wasn't about to bend over and take one for the team, oh no, the challenge was clearly extended so, I had to take it. I won't go into to details but I will say yes, he was all over me like a vulture on a carcass on the straights BUT, I started to leave him behind on the bends. Mwhahaha!!! I was quite surprised that on standard suspension the zed does handle really well. Apparently Astras don't And in the end, as we approached town limits he was still behind me, not in front but behind, he just didn't have quite enough to overtake. We exchanged thumbs up and went our separate ways. I drove home with a feeling that, yes, my willy is considerably bigger than his
