Sorry to hear your recent woes fella, chin up.
Had a ride home from school in an equivalent to Marlon's GTE some 25 years ago, weaving in and out of urban traffic, glad I survived that to be honest!

Sorry to hear of your loss OP.
Your Astra looks good. I don't remember seeing that colour back in the day - it must be pretty rare.
I never had a fast Vauxhall - back in the 80s I was a Ford fan (so I could have RWD). So my MKII RS2000 was followed by 2 Capri Injections!
Hope the MOT goes well.

I'm shocked to read your sad news Gordon,thought it was going to work out well.
From Mandy and myself,our thoughts are with you........46 is simply not fair in the grand scheme of things but having met you and got an insight into your character I'm sure you have a lot of support from friends,family,etc and loads of happy times & memories to help you through any tough times.

Fell off the mountain bike end of November and popped my AC joint in my shoulder.
Had it operated on two weeks ago and now at the recovery stage so couldn't carry your pint at the moment
