Hello everyone! I'm a new member from the other site of the planet. I live in Brazil and will be travelling to Australia next month, so I'm collecting some information about it. Of course because I own an Astra, I had do do a little research about it in Australia and so I found this forum. I'm one of the administrator of a Brazilian forum on Astras called AstraClub, which you may visit by clicking on this links:

site: www.astraclub.com.br (http://www.astraclub.com.br)
forum: www.astraclub.com.br/forum (http://www.astraclub.com.br/forum)

I hope you enjoy it!

Our Astra modell is different from yours, as the H modell is not yet available in Brazil. We now have a facelifted version of the G modell, which is the version I own. Here are some photos of my car:

http://hochman.kit.net/Piteco_KitGSI/

It has a 2.0 liter motor with 128hp (I don't know its power in kw...), and runs both on petrol or alcohol. Yes, in Brazil alcohol is available in every gas station and the most recent cars are prepared to run with both fuels in whatever proportion we put in its tank.

If anyone could do me that favor, please send me some websites adresses of car parts & acessories shops near Sidney. I'll actually be staying in Manly, but heard it's near and I'm planning several trips along your country.

I'm adding this page to my favorite links!:D

That's it for now. I'll finish with some pictures of AstraClub Brazil's meetings!

If you mean that you are going to beat ME in the soccer, I would sure believe you! I really can't play soccer! :( But if you mean that Australia will beat Brazil in the World Cup... well, that's another story! :p :p :p :p

Thank you! I'll post your comments into our administration area!

We were actually thinking about renewing our website, but the new prototypes are never so good as our original.

Alô, Ecstasy! Eu não falo espanhol, mas compreendo muito bem. :) I'll be staying mostly in Sidney, but I'll travel all around during my stay in Australia. Thank you for your invitation! If I go to Brisbane, I'll let you know.

So far, I'm planning to participate on a Drive Day, promoted by Sportscar World Rentals ( http://www.scwr.com.au/drivedays.html). Has anyone here already done that? I'd like to hear some comments about it.

Tchau!

what did you say abot boobs ;)

drive day? we have track days and drift days!!!

astralopiteco
27th January 2006, 06:54 AM
We have track days too, but you don't drive a ferrari, a Porsche, etc, on a track day, unless you've got one, which, unfortunately, is not my case...

That's me on a track day (the silver Astra).
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v285/mlspc/R15.jpg

Anyway, I decided to participate on the drive day. I changed e-mails with them and there is a drive day scheduled for March 15. Some of the cars available will be: Ferrari 360 Modena Spyder ( :eek: ), Porsche 911 convertible, Audi TT roadster, the new Mercedes 350 SL, Lotus Elise, BMW (M3 or 645 convertible), etc. It starts at 9:00 a.m. and finishes at 5:00h p.m. During such period, you drive each of the cars, during a road trip to a city about 200km from Sidney (which I forgot the name) and back...

Not that I don't like my astra, but I'm finally going to drive a supercar!:D

Anyone wanna join?


obs: No, they are not paying me for this advertise. In fact, they did not even give me a discount!:(
