I think you'll find that one link is to a diesel forum, and the other is to the dealer where the car was bought. I don't think either of those are personal business links.

The company he owns (listed as his website in his profile) just "happens" to be a sponsor of the forum...

Cheers mate, i was just about to say the same thing.

I do wish i owned Thurlby Motors though

Yes you're correct i am involved with a sponsor os D-T but my post is about my Thurlby Triple 8 Astra, and that was my sole intention.

Thurlby recognise D-T as an unoffical T8 CDTI site (well a section of it anyway).

Best way to find out about a car is to hear it from the horses mouth...

Sorry if ive upset anyone, ill leave u guys to it

I just can't see why anyone spend their own money on one of those.

EDIT: Ah, just read the above a bit better. Makes sense now.

It does`nt matter what you say on here you will allways upset somebody, as someone said to me on here once, "If you don`t disagree with people you are a W@nker".

Most of them don`t mean any harm.

What a brilliantly nasty looking hatch, it looks like it eats small children and spits out fire. IMHO

Just waiting for the guys at Triple 8 to sort it out

nice looking car that mate! looks mean...

although i do prefer the VXR as i am a petrol lover, that torque figure is quite something!
