Newbie - Be gentle

[domthepom]

Good afternoon guys and girls, just thought Id drop a quick hello to all, while I'm not a proud owner of a VXR just yet I soon hope to be just got to pay my Commodore off which will stay as my daily driver and the Astra will be my weekend toy to lavish lots of love and money on, I test drove one when they were new but I couldnt justify that sort of money for a new car, now there are a few in the 2nd hand market and at some good prices too it seems that it may no longer be a pipe dream!

Sooooo, its been about 5 months since you signed up and started this thread, picked up a VXR yet?
I'm thinking about organising a cruise for early May, and it'd be great to get some more new faces to come along.

Haven't found one yet I'd really like a nurnberg but obviously they are rare as over here, considering importing one if anyone can give me pointers

This should hopefully give you the information you need, or at least put you on the right track
