ok ok i had to post.
think of this site more of a place where everyone can chat to each other, provide info, give opinions and best of all help you no matter what your situation is regarding opels , vauxhalls and holdens.
in my opinion ( and many people would say im correct) this site is much more than any ordinary car club could ever provide.
occassionally there are meets, where everyone gets together in their respective states/regions, these meets arent always on fixed dates, most are started by ordinary members like you and i.
everyone attending gets together, goes for a cruise, usually ending with a nice photoshoot.
anytime you have a question, day or night, you can come on and ask your question and anyone that is on will do their best to help.

i think the best thing about this site is you can get help from anyone around the country and sometimes even fom people from other countries.
i dont know of any other car "club" that provides that much.
you can check out other members cars, stereo systems and modificatons.

also, most of the time, memebers of this site will know more info about your car than holden do.
so untill you get your astra, have a look around, have a chat with other members, voice your opinions and have a great stay!
and when you do get your astra, be sure to start a thread in the members cars section and post some photos of your new found joy.
hope to see you around!
jason.
ps , if your unsure of certain things when shopping around for your car, let us know and we will all be happy to help in every way we can, some of the members may even be able to help you find your new pride and joy.
one thing is sure, this site can help you get the most out of your car for years to come!

take note that there is 2 motor's, the X18xe and the Z18xe.
if you can avoid it, dont get the x18xe motor, it's nowhere near as good as the z18xe.
and have a good look around, low astra on here had his 04 sxi 3 door for sale for only 9K, with lower suspension and turbo front bar.
