The Astra is, currently, being neglected.

It sits on the drive all day during the working week, as i live a stonesthrow away from where i work. This means ageneral build up of crap on the car, so last weekend i decided to give her a clean.

I'm still determined to give her a PC at some point, but seeing as i only gave her a wash and dry, 12 years and 160k miles haven't treated her too badly

Not the most inspiring pictures, a 12 year old Astra amongst 530i's, Mustangs, Elises and 130i's, but i still have a huge smile on my face each time i jump behind the wheel

I always like to see a well looked after older car, just because it's old doesn't mean it has to look like it's used to chop sticks on!

Its a shame because what the photo doesnt shwo up are all the light scratches that are on the car, to be expected after 12 years though.

I want to get it PC'd, and then see what the state of the bodywork is in following that.

I have been quoted £350 to do all the bits that need doing, which will make the car MINT.
