    Astra gone....

    Hey guys and gals,

    Back on opelaus after a bit of an absence. Coming back on here I realise what a great forum opelaus is here and how well it is run.

    Anyway, my absence is a combo of a new job, moving state hassles and general slackness on my own behalf.

    But in the time that I have not been active on here I have traded in my beloved astra SRi for something with a little more go.

    It's not an opel per se so I thought general comments is probably a more fitting area, but as of a few months ago I have picked up a 6 speed VY SS with a mere a 36 000 km on it. Yes its a big departure from my Astra but im loving the LS1s power and torque.

    I also hope that there is a new member on here with a silver SRiT - met him on an advanced driver course on the weekend and pointed him in the direction of opelaus - if you're on here I hope you get as much out of it as I and many others have.

    Anyway enough yapping and more piccies but its good to be back on opelaus - rock on opels!

    well done mate.. ive always had a soft spot for the VYSS, i really love the rims (had them on my VX at one stage) and 36.000kms... wow !!!

    just because you have gone from an astra to a dunnidore doesnt mean u gotta leave us behind Click here to enlarge
    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    yeh ive always had a soft spot for vy ss's and when one with this many ks tuned up I sort of got lost in the moment.

    As for the pedals they are the exact ones on the car shine website. They are unused and ready to go.

    Im having trouble though with the for sale template - it keeps taking me to the smileys page, any ideas?

    Having purchased and owned a LS1 powered vehicle myself, I can vouch for the pleasure in driving that car compared to your Astra - Worlds apart !!!
