I love mine more than I love my girlfriend, (but thats just between us on this site).

What colour did you go for ?

I should be in bed as well, but I'm so excited... gotta organise all the "technicals" tomorrow and if all goes well will have the car by middle/end of this week...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys (and girls)..

Now, as far as me knowing wat model it is.... NO idea at all... It's Aztec Blue, and a MY03 SRi Turbo... that's all I know, would be good to find out wat it actually is...

I just can't wait for a cold day where I can put the heated seats into good use... lol

coyotte - dude, it's all good, i dont blame you - the astra would be cheaper to maintain anyway yea?? *hides* hehehe :lol:

My biggest worry is insurance, full comp for a 20 year old... I been quoted $2k but hope it don't go higher then that...

Safe driving everyone!

Welcome KIP!!!! Another Turbo driver waiting for a cruise !!!!!! Hope you get your car soon and hope to see you on a cruise also !!!! :twisted:

thanks flysri, can't wait to get it...

talked to insurance and that's all good to go (ended up being $2k) so i'm happy it wasnt much more, not bad considering i'm a 20 yr old with a turbo (clean record tho)

and finance said it will about 24-48 hours until it's approved and I can access the funds straight away, so if all goes to plan will have the new toy before easter :D :D :D

but at the moment i'm going crazy and doing this ----> :bang: :bang: :bang:
I just want my FINANCE!!!!! :P

"Aztec" (Mexican for Arden Blue)
The best colour so far..........
Although I am dissappointed that it was never released in RED.

Girls in Melbourne drive Silver.

Welcome Chris,

I am glad another Turbo belongs to an OpelAUS member, there is nothing worse then seeing a fellow Turbo driver and not being able to cruise with him, actually that goes for any Opel I see.

Again welcome, check out the Turbo section for info on mods, as you will no doubt get the speed bug and want to go crazy. There are a few guys in there with info on their setups posted for all to see.

Cheers,
Ben.
