It's not absolutely abhorrent, though I prefer the touring car esque styling of the 888 coupe - fair play though It's definitely 'yours'. Not sure about the rear bumper, nice paint though! You need to track down the half Alcantara 888 interior next, almost the right blue aswell!

Hey Chris
I did actually think about going down the 888 route but again wanted it to be a one off, and as for the seats I've had those half alcantara seats before but I ended up taken the bucket seats out of the new Corsa VXR and fitting them instead which was a mission and a half to say the least.

everyone goes on about 'oak green' and 'bbm' but after black you just cant beat a nice tornado red ! although thinking about it they came in plenty of amazing colours !
just got my mk2 back on the road last month after spinning a big end then buying a quick and cheap replacement which turned out to be a lemon . now 600 miles in with no issues so fingers crossed ! is better than the 20 i got last time !

Just handed over the keys to my M3 to it's new owner, I owned it for 3 years and was brilliant in every way (other than fuel economy).
Unfortunately it was getting on a bit and was starting to get expensive to maintain so it was time for a change.
Ordered a new Audi SQ5 due for delivery in March, not as quick as the M3 but still packs a bit of a punch with 300 bhp from the twin turbo diesel, plus the added bonus of 44 mpg and plenty room inside for when the misses pops out a kid.
Looking forward to its arrival.
Will get some picks up when I collect it!!

Dad is very tempted by an SQ5, so will be curious to see how you get on with it

That Astra is Horrendous 
I can appreciate the effort and time you must have put into it to get it to how you want it.
The doors though, i would feel such a knob getting out of it. Pure reason why i wouldn't get in it
Nice colour

And pics of your cossie?
A guy in our street had one when we were kids, we all used to stand there and look in awe.
It was the only car in the street that never got a football anywhere near it
Lovely motors

RS Turbo looks lovely, I'd love one as a weekend toy.
Rybo, maybe you could recommend him a vtec this sticker for the ultimate in coolness.

More love for the RS here too <3
So, every time I go for a drive down to the Forest, I always get held up by dickheads - slow drivers, camper vans, tractors, old people...you name it, I get stuck behind it
This morning, I went down there to take Bella for a nice long walk. And guess what? The roads were absolutely empty pretty much the whole way there.
The first time I've ever had a clear run down there and I'm stuck in a poxy little 1.6 Astra because my car is still in the bodyshop. Great.
I would say that it looks like Sunday mornings are the best time to enjoy the roads down there, but no doubt as soon as I get my car back and go down there to actually enjoy the roads, they will be full of geriatric tractor drivers towing campervans again

Already one in the post.

Give us a shout when you've got the GT86 back and we can head down there for a run and some photos
