My new car!

I've turned traitor for a while so here's my 2001 facelift uk registered ralliart fto gpx tiptronic. I had to settle for the semi but its a lot sharper than the one I test drove scarily infact!
Cleaned me out at 1920 but managed to blag tax.
The underside needs sealing before winter and a couple of brake pipes need tarting up hence I knocked them down.
Full service history mint in and out 78k on the clock😃
Oh and we stopped at shitterton.

(probably keeping astra shell)

a couple more pics.

When I thought the insurance company where gonna write mine off I had considered one of these!

What's it like??

I really like these, quite a few years ago I was going to get one untill I called the insurance company. Looks a very tidy example though.

Same here, I really like these. Not quite the beast the 3000GT is, but certainly looks the part.

Adrian flux have offered me 750 fully comp. Inc breakdown courtesy car etc.
I'm leaving my insurance company as they wanted 1500:eek:
It probably shifts about 7 secs to 60 (my engines still in mint condition) and goes round corners like its on rails. The handlings awesome.
Will rev to over 8000rpm in auto!
It does put a smile on your face😃

no plans at the mo other than undersealing and brakes and disks.
however when the cat goes the decat pipe is only 55 quid, so i may tinker here and there.

Cancelled my insurance with swinton today and moved as they wanted 1500 quid for the remaining 8 months of the policy:mad:
Got mugged on cancellation fees and what really made me laugh was on the comparison sites they themselves were quoteing 1055!
Any way Adrian flux came in at just over 800 fully comp with bells and whistles. Which was about what the astra was.
They do a great job dunno why I never tried them before!😃

That's a good price from Flux. I'm still with them on the VXR, as Chris Knott couldn't get close.

After mine told me what they wanted to do either on continuing the policy or cancellation fees, I let it run for the month then canceled.
They charged me 120 quid! Still cheaper than 1 of their instalments Tho!
Out of curiosity what's the vxr cost?

£94 a month with 8 years no claims!

Christ! So I'm not doing bad then considering a child could break in the Fto.

Yeah, it's gone up each year since owning it, not down as well 🙁

Group 37 I think on the new scale.

What's that compared to 18 on the old scale?
