It's been a few years since I bought a Hot4s or FF&R (because I got sick of reading about cars with ugly bodykits that were slower than stock but had yellow leather interiors) - do many Astras, Barinas etc. get into these types of magazines these days? There were hardly any when I was reading, just the odd Barina.

Don't really remember seeing any Astra G's in any of the local riceboy mags, but I have seen a few Astra F's (incl KOSMIK - Red Astra F, a few years back) and Barina (Corsa) B's...but I only look at those mags occassionally these days.

Yes, I had one.
Made cover of Rice4's 2 times and Featured 3 Times.
1st Cover: Kermit Green with FJ20(Original Owner)
2nd Cover: Kermit Green with a 12A Turbo.
Then I bought the Wreck of a Mate whom bought from Carlo(Original Owner)
I reshelled it, Painted Kermit Green with a Silver Pearl.
Throw the 12A to the Shit and Placed a Series 6 13BREWTT converted back to Single T4. Racing Beat Rotars,Racing Beat Shaft. The rest Stock.
Never took to the Creek coz It was Stolen 1 month after being in Hot4s.
All was stolen except the Bare Engine.

off the top of my small head..

..i heard your car doesn't show revs per min, but per hour.

..your car is soo slow you have to engage reverse for it to move forward.

..your rearview mirrors have the words, 'objects appear to be faster than you'

..your car's so slow even the oil changes take longer than usual.

..you have to book a week ahead to get into your own garage.

...the only way you can do a burnout is to drive through a bushfire.

(ker.. bored at work)

Scratching my head at that one too Pete, I think most would agree the WRX is a damn fine machine, it's a pity though that alot (but obviously not all) of the crowd with them are tools, but hate the tools not the car people :)

Gavin, your Astra does indeed look great in those mag pages...well done with that one...
