Vauxhall are offering 24 hour test drives for the new Astra

Text Astra to 64118 to arrange.

Good timing, got a load of garden waste myself

Excellent, want to try this.

Do they have a milage limit?

Cant be bothered, you have to go to the local retailer, faff.

That's not so much of an issue for me, they are literally 100m from the office.

So I cycle in one day, pick up a new ahstray, drive it for a day, then return it the next and cycle back home.

I dont mind the look of the new Astra... Followed one earlier. But I bet it's just as bad as the older versions to drive!

I bet it isn't - at least judging by the reviews...

Could come in handy for the trip to Manchester on thursday

I fired a email off to local dealer when I saw the TV ad. Not because I'm actually interested.. I just can't resist a extended test drive.

Nice offer. A lot of hazzle just for test drive though.

Iv everyone chips in a few quid, can you do this and then run it into the ground on the dyno?

That would be hilarious, although it could have big consequences

.

Get it screaming off the limiter

There should be enough OcUKers to push it far enough down the road, call out Vauxhall Assist or whatever Vauxhall rebrand the AA/RAC as and turn up at the dealership on the back of a breakdown truck. "Yeah, I don't think I like the car, it seems a bit unreliable"

I would have done it but I don't trust you lot, Every meet I goto people pull bits off my car!
