i dont care what they think i just dont like it when they feel so high and mighty about what they say so enjoy bringing them back down to earth :POriginally Posted by sooty
Therein lies your problem. You have nothing to prove to anyone, if you friends think your car is a girl's car, that's their problem. You know what it is capable of. And if one day you happen to take them for a drive through the twisties you can show them, but trying to show them around suburban streets just puts too many people in danger.
You're happy with your car, who cares what they think
AND just to clear up incase it sounded this way, i wouldnt show anyone around suburban streets. iv never tried to race someone and dont plan on it. im just a little quicker then afew INSIDE the speedlimit if that makes sense...
It's pronounced DEV-O as the plates suggest. Not DEE-VO.My Car
Hmmm....I know what I'm like driving the Vectra B (it's a V6), apparently I'm not afraid of the pedals, and will throw it around somewhat...but get me into the Astra G (just the 1.8), and I'm a bloody hoon...I throw it around corners constantly, and at times put the bigger cars to shame...
...God only knows what I'd be like driving a V8...or worse yet, an SRI-T...

3. Not allowed to threaten anyone with black magic.
4. Not allowed to challenge anyone's disbelief of black magic by asking for hair.
87. If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.

Yeah - the Vec isn't really a twisties kind of car. I've no doubt something can be done about that, but I pitched it into a roundabout this morning like I had the Astra the previous day, and got understeer. No hint of anything remotely like that in the Astra the previous day, at much the same speed...
Dammit, now I've been looking for an SRI-T on carsales.com.au...and I've found one I want, not too far away, and not too expensive...

...if only I had $7200 lying around...either that or they'd accept a straight swap for the Astra...highly unlikely though

"aren't astras for girls?"
to be honest, if i could replace it, then i would.
Astra TS CD
running stock (for the moment)
Lately alot of the girls i meet at the clubs / pubs tease me with " i have a astra too! " "its a girls car"
honest it happens heaps, they all have standard tho
ive just been going with mines a manual, you cant drive manual lol
What is it with girls that they can't drive manuals hey?... Me and my best mate are trying to teach our gf's... My clutch is getting a bit of a thrashing... It's like the just can't coordinate 3 pedals, a stick and the wheel at the same time... Downshifts are the worst for them at the moment...
The other one people learning a manual after driving an auto always seem to get wrong is "remembering to push the clutch down when stopping"...
(Oh, and also "Don't hold it on the footbrake with the car in gear and the clutch down when waiting at the traffic lights - put the handbrake on, go into neutral and let the clutch up. That causes less clutch wear.")
