My Astra VXR - over time

[Aussie]

Picked her up on the 23rd Dec and almost 1400 miles on the clock later and what can i say, bloody beauty in the looks, handling and performance department.
Gave her a nice run in on a 4 day trip around the Devon/Cornwall coastline and the VXR ate up the coastal wet b-roads with ease.
Now awaiting TMS to open up to fit the full milltek later this month, other mods planned- awaiting T8 engineering to open their doors - fill brake system and new 18's :wink:
