Hi fellow Opel people. Got myself a new Astra OPC last year. Ordered before Opel pulled out, arrived afterwards so they offered me out of the contract or the same clearance discount they were doing on their Australian stock. I took the discount. I love that car. It's blaaaaaack. Just feeling slightly abandoned but I wasn't going to settle for a Megane. I now have a car that is rare and exclusive and goes like a rocket. Gotta be careful though. Been booked once for enjoying the car a little too much. As they say in Germany, "Opel, das better auto".

I'm in Sydney. I couldn't even find a picture of a black one before I ordered mine. The sales person thought the blue was the best colour until mine was delivered then she decided black was the new blue. There are some angles where the car looks a bit sinister in black. :devil: Apart from it showing all the dust I'm very happy with it.

I have only ever seen two OPCs. There is a white one with 19s often parked near work and in Canberra last wekend I saw a blue one.
