That looks like a very nice “shopping car“ you won’t see many in a Netto car park!
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

Is that a classic Vauxhall I can see in the background Andy?Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 9:44 am Just too make sure I’m missing not having a roadster this pulled up beside Kathleen’s car yesterday when I was in the garden putting some outdoor lights up. What a noise Not really seen one up close but this thing is stunning!
Of course I had to go out for a chat, lovely older couple. It belongs in a stable of 3 Porsche’s, a Bentley and a Ferrari. This is her “going to the shops on a nice day car” which returns 26 mpg “until you’re trying for 200MPH” according to her.
Not the best pictures but the gold wheels (which I’m not a fan of normally) looked absolutely stunning and suited it perfectly
Less than two weeks until ours arrives now

It’s actually an immaculate Astra VXR Nuremberg Edition. Just new neighbours of Kathleen’s so don’t know anything else about it

I have found it quite hard going, particularly when we’ve had a spell of really good weather.
Fortunately for us, yes we’re still able to make a weekend of it the Covid restriction extension only effects England, we’re still mainly following our route plan. I’m still cautious about where we go anyway and the area we’re heading to has been, and is currently experiencing lower infection rates
