    My naughty secret

    I wasnt gonna make a big song and dance about her. Trust me when I say she is a real corker. I have had her a week now and I am immensely enjoying the T5 experience again.

    She is a late 99 V reg C70 manual - with 55K on the clock. Doesnt have all the toys but she makes up for that in sheer grunt. the ME7 is a real gem on it. I do have the good stereo and the nice BBS rims - but sadly no heated seats or trip. Bodywork is in excellent condition.

    I only have a couple of photos - and yes for the eagle eyed the NS headlight wiper is foobared (now fixed).

    Got a decent deal for her from a main Vauxhall dealership in Wrexham including decent part chop for the dis-Astra. I got 12 month MOT, a good RAC warranty and 6 months tax. Nice peeps/Good to do business without stressing about if they were dodgy or not. Co-incidentally they also showed me the new folding hardtop astra (a week before the launch)

    After 3 or more years of hunting for decent T5 insurance - you'll all be glad to know I have fully comp on this baby.

    She drives like a dream and I am very happy. Thanks again to all that looked out for me during the last few months.

    Saw her in the flesh on Tuesday - got to ride in her too - nice puller, excellent bodywork - not a ding to be seen. Wobbly she's going to do you proud.

    Well done that man.

    Even more bizarre - this is the second time it has happened.

    I havent had anything done tuning wise. I stuck my old fly ridden ITG back in and put a strut brace on.

    Reason I was at VT was to sort out some ABS things.

    She is very nice. There is no window whistle at high speed.

    Forgot to say - the interior is dark grey and has the granite finish inlays.

    Welcome back to the Fleet, your Imperial Wobblyness.
    Very nice looking car Dave. In fact it's so nice looking I recommend you keep the keys out of THE COLLECTOR's sight!

    Must be nice getting all that torque back again post Astra.

    Have to say that the A5 is one of the best roads to drive home on in yer new motor. Engine is very keen. Ride is fab and the brakes are not too bad either.

    She will be lowered soon enough. Just toying with replacing the dampers (there is nothing wrong with them) whilst the springs are out.

    Nice one Dave, glad you're finally sorted.
    Now take it easy - it's a big step up from a diesel Astra!

    Fun in the twisties!
