NDAC tomorrow

[Tricky]

Nickb and I will be at the NDC tomorrow. If anyone else is going to be there, say hello if you see us. I'll be in a 54 reg turquoise Astra and Nick will be in his A4 Avant (that's estate in plain English) with a personal plate, S3 ***.

Yes indeed. I suppose it may actually be more blue than turquoise though.

Apparently my car will be ready early next week, woohoo.

having the astra brochure in front of me, its 'Breeze Blue'

My other car is an Astra 1.9 CDTi SRi (I think I got the casing right) in silver which actually is a pretty good car. I can only do 4000 miles/month in it though so it's for driving to and from work only. While not in the same league as the Audi, I don't think I'd miss it too much if I was to replace it permanently with the Astra.

Ah thats the baby I'm after

The one I've got is the 120ps version - I think there's a 150ps version of the 1.9 too. It's nippy but you have to get the gear right (the Audi's not quite so fussy about gear).

mmmm there is

and you can order the Ext Pack so it gets 18" of rubber

you do get 6 gears to choose from

downside is, its nearly £20k

Not sure if I've got 17s or 18s on mine (17s I think, but I need to compare them to the 18s on the Audi to be sure, or measure them). 6 gears is nice too as I'm used to that. I was looking at 2nd-hand prices recently but even 2nd-hand they're in the £15k bracket iirc

You sad buggers - get a room!

Not sure you should be broadcasting my whereabouts mate, I've been making enemies lately - and they know what I look like
