His location says Shropshire I’m sure his Golf will be fine. If he lived in London, Bradford, Birmingham, Manchester. Liverpool etc then he should worry.

A quick Google search:
David Jamieson, the police and crime commissioner for the West Midlands, said the number of car thefts in the West Midlands Police force area had doubled in two years – as thieves exploit the technology to steal vehicles from driveways and car parks.

Yeah but there's West Midlands and there's West Midlands...

Traded in my GTC for something a bit more sensible....

Isn't a GTC a 3 door Astra? You make it sound like you just got rid of an Elise

It’s a 3 door Astra J. The new Astra is a lot bigger inside especially the rear. With 3 kids and a dog it all helps... lol

I was surprised how much bigger this is in the rear. It’s meant to have more room than the original insignia. I can sit in the back and have plenty of legroom.

3 kids and a dog and you haven't bought some utterly pointless pinnacle of compromise SUV. Bravo, well done you! Rear leg room does look quite spacious actually.

With 3 kids and a dog where does the luggage go?

I suspect the baggage goes on the front passenger seat.

Cookeh · 21 Jun 2018 at 09:53

In the boot, with the dog. Partitions exist. That's what we (parents) used to do anyway.

Firestar_3x · 21 Jun 2018 at 10:02

Wow, feel sorry for the dog and the fact everyone will only have space for one change of underpants.

Isn't this like your third Vauxhall in about a year?

Roof Box or Wifes car.... My eldest is at boarding school so only comes in holidays so most of the time it's just the two kids and the dog who will sit on the seat if we need to fill the boot.

Something like that I get a nice discount so have changed a few times. This one will be staying for a while....

What's wrong with your rear plate? Looks...clouded.

Yaayuh! · 21 Jun 2018 at 11:21

Doesn't look too bad for a 15 year old car

J1nxy · 21 Jun 2018 at 11:22

It still had the protective plastic on it in the first picture

Jez · 21 Jun 2018 at 11:26

Haha, is that rear plate fitted with an anti-flash cover?
