Craig 6703 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Astra's are canny middle of the road( no pun intended) cars. Nowt special and pretty reliable, owned one once myself an 02 1.8 club. However if i was to see an Astra with a private reg my first reaction would be, bellend. Pathetic statement. It's like saying I once had a Vauxhall Carlton and stereotyping the Lotus Carlton and putting it into the same category. Moronic. You kind of miss the point. The fact that it's an astra, yes I'm totally aware that you can get some damn quick ones. The VXR springs to mind, very nice looking and goes like shit of a shiny. However if I was to see someone driving a VXR with a private reg I would STILL think bellend. His statement about the Lotus Carton doesn't even have any substance seeing as Vauhall didn't build the LC... As for driving at the speeds you're suggesting Thompers and suggesting there's "nothing wrong with it and it's safe", I really hope you suffer a blow-out. You'll soon change your mind....... if you survived it. No, Vauxhall did build the Lotus Calton, Lotus modified it. Just like Bertoné did with the Astra to make the coupé... Proving beyond all doubt that you know fuck all about cars... Vauxhall built the Vauxhall Carlton and Lotus built the Lotus Carlton in the same way that they, rather than Ford built the Lotus Cortina and they, instead of Talbot built the Lotus Sunbeam. How you can claim you're clued up on cars and suggest Bertoné are on a par with Lotus is laughable. Bertoné like Pinafarina, etc are stylists who specialise in styling the physical appearance of a vehicle. Lotus are engineers who have take a basic chassis and completely built their own car from it. You'll be telling me that an Escort Cosworth was created from a bog standard Escort next... The Lotus Carlton is a bored out GSi with two turbos stuck on. the rest is cosmetic. Fool. I'm sure you know about them than my Dad though, despite him having previously owning two of them I can't believe you've just made that claim... :icon_lol: you're proving you're a fucking ignoramous with each new post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 On a sidenote, my car failed its MOT today because the lettering wasnt tall enough on my plate. Easily rectified as I have the original plate and hel pass it tomorrow but it looks very similar to a normal number plate. I wonder how all the plates I see on the road with fancy lettering pass their MOTs. Or maybe the mechanic I took it to was just a cnut!
