Haha, I did actually consider a VX220 NA/Turbo, but it just isn't for me at the moment. For the moment, I want a stress-free ownership time (or as stress-free as it can be!), which means warranty (for me). smile

Plus, I got a damn good price on it wink

Yeah, it's great. I'm not giving this one absolute hell, as I own this one, and it's not even run in yet. But, I did have an Astra VXR as a company car, and I loved it... Very confident in the car at it's limits. I rate it much higher than a lot of people do.

That's a no then? hehe

I'm hoping the weather improves, but it's not looking likely. I won't be out if it's raining.

She'd be the last person to let in! How did you get yours on the 1st? He ordered his a good few months ago and they told him he's gotta wait until this Friday (or maybe later as its not definite) until delivery.

Mine was sat at the dealer about 6 weeks before I picked it up! hehe So it was there waiting for the new reg. Didn't see the point in registering it on the old plate for the sake of waiting 6 weeks biggrin

Luckily, my OH knows how anal I am about my car, so is very careful. Can't say the same for my friends! Hence they haven't been in it yet! hehe

Very nice! I know someone with one in the same colour. He stuck a miltec exhaust on it and a sports cat. After a remap he has 297bhp on the sport button! eek
