Have a thing for Astra's.
Left is the Mrs newer 2013 5 door hatch.
1.6 turbo. 6 Speed Auto, full leather pack and SatNav. Very nice, wish the box was a DSG.
132kw roughly from memory.
On the right is my ride 2007 3 door hatch.
2.0 turbo. 6 speed manual, full leather interior with sunroof.
Has been remapped to roughly 180kw. Lowered springs, heavy duty clutch and lightened flywheel (rattles when idling )
Dave and Julee has been in the red Astra as I don't think they have seen one before.
Julee did get a little car sick in the back.

Not mine pictured, dead ringer except for the US side lights and bumpers.
This has been with my father since new and lucky me (love - hate relationship), I have inherited it.
Currently sitting at a panel shop (for the past 3-4 years) getting the rust cut out as it cannot be registered till then.
I've had it for over 7+ years now. Hard to find good and decently priced panel beaters.

Here is my daily driver 1985 Olds Toronado Caliente. It is by far the best winter car I've ever owned. Everything works (cold A/C, cruise, digital dash, factory sunroof) except the power driver's seat which I manually adjusted to my liking.

Best to get a custom license plate that says either '56E-478,' '308GTSI,' or 'ROBIN-1' - that will assure that you get plenty of Magnum comments, though probably not, as Magnum doesn't seem to have quite the fandom that BTTF generated, but still might be fun

And here is my other pride and joy, my 1972 Buick Riviera. I picked this one up from the original owner's daughter and son in law in 2006. Aside from the clock, everything works. Just made a 500 mile round trip to Illinois with it last month.
