Hello fellow Opel Members,

I have been part of many car clubs over the years, but not one that is make only based. Such as Car Audio Australia and Sydney Cruise Registry.

Just three weeks ago, I traded in my 2004 Suzuki Liana for a Holden Tigra. Always wanted a convertable, and was looking for sometime at the 206CC, however, after attending the Sydney Motorshow, I saw the Holden Tigra, and heard the news that they have just came down in price.

I then spent sometime comparing the Tigra to the 206CC and the Tigra won, allow me to introduce my self. My name is Miles and live in Western Sydney, Penrith. And this is my new Tigra.

I hope I get the chance to meet you all and get to you know, and one day, be able to go for a cruise.

Looks like it, im just browsing the members Gallery at the moment and I have noticed that alot of people own Barina's. (A car that my partner owns).

Looking at everything in this club makes me wanna go for a cruise now!

Thank you, I've just added a whole heap of photos to my members folder. I've also got two videos on Youtube, but unsure if Im allow to post that link in here. Their only basic, just one with the roof coming off and the other walking around the Tigra.

Took me ages to find the site, hence the reason why I would love to put some opelaus stickers on my window.

I did a search VIA google and looked up "Opel Club Australia".

So how are you finding the car?
Do you have any plans for it?

At the end of the day, I found it. Thats the main thing :)

As for plans, all I've done is added really dark window tint and chrome wheels. The chrome wheels were from my old car, my Suzuki. No other plans at the moment.

Welcome Tigra. I can't tel you much about this site. i've been here for a whole 15 minutes, but I was happy to find a forum for Aus Opels. I really dig the hunched over proportions of the tigra. Looks sharp in black.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome, you all seem like a great bunch of people and have already had the chance to talk with some of you VIA MSN.

BTM = I've logged into the above site and registered all my details, however can only see one topic thread, which is: Membership Information. Is there a section within this forum for cruise information?

I think the NSW section has been, or is in the process of being moved back to the main site here.
