So was browsing around on the net today helping my friend look for a mk3 astra convertible when i came across an add that took my eye straight away.
Few things seemed weird about it:
First the name of the add. " One of Astra VXR Estate
second the name of the user " Craig r "
and last the location. " Bedfordshire "
So i take a look and find out that a friend of mine and a few others has kept a little secret from us in which he is selling his car :O :O :O
http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/cars-sale/428680-one-off-astra-vxr-estate.html
the thing is "Mint" and had so much time effort and money spent on it. shocking to see him put it up for sale :O anyway take a look it really is a one of a kinda car!

Very nice. Would love it.
Two things,
1. What do you mean by You will have been rinsed by this at least once.?
2. What's this on the bonnet or is it just my eyes?

What Astra VXR hasn't? You don't buy one to toddle along at the speed limits all the time, you buy it intending to go fast.
