[alex_c]

Looks very nice bro.

[Arden_One]

Whats that a 330? Tell us some stories of how you have whooped his ****...

[TwinSport]

That's no 330, I'm not that lucky like you are, seeing only fast cars :cry: .

Well, it's a 320 with 170PS. I think it looks very nice and brutal cause it's so flat and wide. It has got 19" rims with 265 tires in the back and 235 in the front.
It sounds very good aswell because of an Bastuck exhaust.


But still...no chance against the OPC :twisted: .

[Arden_One]

nice

[TwinSport]

Here's a picture of our other car, I like it even when it hasn't got enough power...

http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/234/img0083kq5.jpg

Looks like a 2004 onwards design

i like then loads we had a 1.4 SXi 2004 and was loads of fun

[vxrdave]

Love the pic's and the cars

[Arden_One]

So true, this is my OLD beast!!!! So much fun and my god did it get some stick. In some ways, I wonder whether it is easier to drive a lower powered car harder than it is to drive a higher powered car when your fighting against traction all the time. At the moment it is so wet that all I get is "flash flash flash" traction cutting in, all the time, and then reduced power when I do get to go...

[wayner]

that black opc has an astra sri rear spolier?????

there is no gap in it and the boot?

wayner

[Aussie]

its an option for the OPC astra

[TwinSport]

Correct, in Germany you have to pay for the bigger one you've all got ;).

[alex_c]

was it a lot more as it does look loads better.

I have the VXR and the SRi and i do like the VXR one better but it wont fit the 5 door boot.

[TwinSport]

The big spoiler costs 260€ (to compare an automatic air condition costs 205€).

[TwinSport]

Just found some pictures I want to show you.
Nothing special, but still I hope you're not bored by seeing em!

Made by mobile phone after a long long trip :) :

Funny to hear that! :D
In Germany they're all changing to Vauxhall badge and grille! :D

I like both ones very much.

[TwinSport]

Yesterday we'd been to the Ring again to drive the last lap this year.

It was awesome! Never thought my dad yould handle a standard OPC like that.

Just got one picture till now, here it is (taken from http://racepics.neuz.de/index.php?path=2007-11-01_Nordschleife&height=671&width=1152 ):

Opel is the original. Vauxhall merely rebrands the Opel Astra and Corsa models, as well as Holden Commodore's as their own. :rolleyes:

[TwinSport]

Yes, that's true but still some like the Vauxhall badge more than the Opel one.

Would be great if we'd had the VXR8 here :( or the Commodore.

Trust me, these cars with a nice Vortex or Magma supercharger are demons of note! :D

Opel is the original. Vauxhall merely rebrands the Opel Astra and Corsa models,


you totally sure about that?

GME Design Centre in Rüsselsheim (not Opel design Centre) is responsible for all Opel, Vauxhall and Saab exterior and interior designs

So Opel, Vauxhall and Saab are developed by GM.
Vaux products are not rebranded Opel in as much as Opels are not rebranded Vauxhalls.
Both products are designed by the same team at the same time only the badging and side of the s/w are different.
Head of design is English (Mark Adams) , head of interior design is american and head of exterior design is another Brit (Malcolm Ward) and im afraid GM is an American company not German.

Now when it comes to builds keep in mind that Vauxhall also builds astras in England, and not forgetting Holden is also GM.

The new owner of our old car send these pictures to my father.
My father send em to me and here they are.

Exhaust was cleaned and polished with Autosol Chrom Polish, rear lights were done with Plast X. After finishing all, it was too dark outside so I shot some fotos today.

Sadly the weather is bad.
