Some of my old ones

There are quite a few others in-between and even before the Astra!, but these are ones that stick in my mind/memorable
Mk1 astra 1300 with kent cam, webber 40s and big exhaust 60mm suspension drop on spax springs, full SR body kit, nova SR seats and sun visors, Cavalier SRI wheels, big rev counter on the side of the dash! reved to 8k! it went like stink too! brakes where shocking :P (not helped by the monsterous sound system in the boot weighing it all down..
Please excuse my old friend Shaun on his Honda/rover hybrid.
more recent? 12 years back? 140bhp/250lb/ft 2.0 hdi (chipped /interwarmer upgrade) green stuff pads and groved discs!) still had a silly sound system
and more recently still...
Miss this one quite a bit
