Lol. It's still burning, but it's getting better.
And to anyone else who doesnt know why, it's cos they left the protective layer coating in the engine bay and on the exhaust. So after it warmed up properly for the first time, the car started burning, giving off smoke from under the vehicle etc.
Vauxhall's been getting their act together lately - Lots of good cars out. Good pick if you ask me.

Definetly. Almost all of the range has been changed now. They still sell the older 3 door Astras, but the Astra GTC (3 door version) came out a few weeks ago, so I take it that'll be the last of their stock.
We were looking at the insignia, but the astra is pretty much exactly the same, just a bit smaller. Still got bags of room. Huge boot, plenty of legroom for front and back passengers. Very quiet (a bit of wind noise at 70+, but you only notice it with no music, or if theres no fans on etc) but even at 4,000rpm, you can barely hear the engine.
Nice pics, shame about the driver
Lovely pics special
.
Your landy looks much better when it's dirty imo.
It's a demo vehicle, ye. It's owned by one of the dealerships in Holland.
Is or was owned.
This is one of my ride's for the next couple of months. Will try to get some pics of the actual car I have (same spec as
above below, mine is a 58 plate) and some inside + light shots/video. I may also do a video of me driving through London for y'all.
That's definitely a good car.
Oh yeah.
Would love to see a vid of you driving it through London
U should trade your Rover one of those tanks
about 5 cm of snow fell overnight here, so I went out to clear the driveway and snap some pictures of my parents' cars while I was at it.
Well, I don't have a car (yet!), but here's my ride, specs are as follows:
MEC Chinook Hardtail Mountain Bike - Custom designed frame by MEC (Mountain Equipment Co-op)
ROCK SHOX Dart 2 fork with adjustable preload and rebound rate with suspension lock-out system
8x3 Gear Shimano Alivio Gearset
Shimano V-Brake with Disk brakes
Alexrims DP17 26" Rims
Here are my parents' cars
My mother's 2007 Honda Odyssey Touring, 3.5L V6 with Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (You all know what it is, don't be shunning) - very spacious, critics praise this car, although the interior looks a bit cheap.
My father's 2006 BMW 330xi, 3.0L Inline 6 with Tiptronic - Adrenaline inducing, especially in Sport Mode
OOOooohhh i want some snow too.
Oh lucky you Zipppy. I wish there were snow here, instead of the current foggy dark dull mild weather we have here. Nice BMW btw.
Couple of new pics of the Cupra(resized them all for you lot!). the foggy ones are a dayt after the sunny ones! Weather is fked up lol. If anyone remembers TC Bum- the red corsa with black grill is his
the other car next to mine is a 2.4 5cly abarth stilo. 170bhp but gets destroyed by the cupra thats a whole litre smaller in displacment aha
Modern times and tech a suppose. That abarth sounds great though, 5cly warble like a focus ST/RS with out the Turbo woosh.
Took the 1.4 inside sticker off but left the other 2. Got a Bluetooth Scangauge that is an OBDII reader for any car, gives engine diagnostics and all manner of info from cat/exhaust temps to timing advance and load,mpg as well as any number of 0-60mph, 40-60 ect times. Got some screenshots of it here running on my phone. This app while on my phone is getting its info direct form the car via the Bluetooth adapter, really is quality stuff. used it on a mates car to clear his engine light after decat.
Thats all folks
