WOW :eek:

That's an unbelievable sight, soooooo many AH Astras :)

What a meet, we can only dream of meets like that down here.

First red one in first pic has xenon headlight assemblies - very nice, an option I would also go for.

Even got Monaros there awesome stuff !!!

Weren't Holden buggers, when they brought one out here to the motor shows and put Holden badges on it, well Melbourne Motor Show anyway probably was an Sydney too.

Just having another look at those pics, it looks like the Opel production plant car holding yards..........

What a mass of late model Opels in one spot, truly amazing :)

is that not just a 4 door HSV GTS ? if so, they are quite popular - some older examples (circa 1999) are available..(See the screen shot !)

that is actually the only black VXR220 available, they did come in black in the VX n/a & turbo range but the VXR is finished off much better and handles like a go cart, all made in the UK by Lotus for Vxl
