Just want to say hello.

Im Adam from England. I live near Liverpool and only 20 minutes from the Vauxhall Astra factory in Ellesmere Port. I drive an 2007 Vauxhall Corsa 1.3cdti 75bhp. Its covered around 140,000 miles (225,000kms) from new. I have owned the car since 2010 when she had 23,000 miles on the clock. We call it pre face lift as we now have the facelifted model like you have. I have only owned Corsa's and the car before was a corsa b. I am an active member on Cduk forum here (www.ukcorsa-d.com) in England, I use the same member name on here as there . I joined the site after one of your members joined cduk. Just thought it would be good to see what you lot do to your Opel/Vauxhalls down under.

For mods I have an 6k Hid's, piper rear box, heko wind deflectors, dtuk tuning box and a forge strut brace. She is a mile muncher so still runs standard wheels and suspension. I will post pic of her when I get home from work as its coming up to 5pm

For work I am a truck driver. I drive a scania v8 mapped to 1100bhp. I deliver wall, floor tiles all over the Uk with the odd trip to spain.

Thanks.

We supplied tiles for the staff areas inthe newish Morrisons & KFC off Consett Rd. Also a small one man band on Durham Road. He seems to be buying a fair bit

Also I had a few trips up to Stanley to see a company called DTUK Tuning and there sister company Juicy deatiling. Its a good nice run over the tops from Kirkby Stephen & Barnard Castle to Consett/ Stanley
