Yeah dead right I appreciated it, I didn't care what it was it was mine and that I finally had the freedom, it could honestly have been anything.
And as proof of that last statement, in actual fact I swapped the knackered Metro for the "Flying Turd" - a B plate Mk1 Astra 1.3 in a stunning shade of brown. Yep, completely poo brown. Great 2nd gear on it though, I think thats what sold it to me. 18 years old and not a clue.
You remind me actually Nixy, your lad has a Mk2 Astra doesn't he? He wouldn't be interested in some shocks & springs would he??????
Mk1 astra... always fancied a mk1 gte, i've not seen one of those on the road for years.
