Hi Stu
I saw that car being driven at POD and I asked the guy driving it if he'd like to join the club but he said it was his mates car. I'm sure it was the one in the pic?
Anyway, welcome along matey and I hope you enjoy your stay. You are in the right place for everything MK1.
Are you going to come back to POD with us next month for Retro Cars show?
It would be great if you could.
Lee

It will be that one you saw, i had a mate drive it down so i could drive the Vectra down.
Not sure that I'll make it to Retro cars but i will be at VBOA @ Billing
Hopefully I'll have more success buying some Mk1 parts down there than i did at Pod, i wasn't impressed with the trade area this year it seemed to lack .... erm .... a few traders but hey ho. I only managed to spend £2 on an old owners workshop manual.

Cheers matey, well i ended up playing with a number of astras and other motors on the way home including 2ltr Astra sport which apparently saw me in my Vectra topping 130mph (Off road detour ofcourse ) Now i wasnt convinced because my speedo read about 128 but according to my Astra's speedo and the 2ltr Sports speedo my Vectra reads about 5mph slow never mind, then had to slow right back down and wait for my lowly 1.3S to catch back up
Ahh well, good weekend and thanks for the welcomes again you guys.
