VXOC Astra-J/GTC

Hi peeps,
I'm from South Africa. Stayed in UK for 3 years loved it but now back home.

I have recently purchased a 2014 Opel Astra J 1.4T. Well chuffed. Enjoying it.
Quick history on my user name and why I call my j the ghost. When I first bought her as a demo there were lots of issues that opel- GMSA could not sort out and in 3 to 4 months I only saw her for a week.
Once I figure out how to post pic I will put some up

welcome to vxoc

Thanks tucpal

Nice mate PE as we call it is the home of opel where the factory is based it is about 600 miles from durban 15 hour drive. Joburg aka jhb or gangsters paradise is where the money is to be made lots of corruption ( with out going into to much politics) is your cousin enjoying it there.

Hi...

If we had more protests like that perhaps the M25 would have less traffic!

Morning guys thanks for the welcomes. SA not all that bad it has its beauty. [WINKING FACE]. The m25 yip remember camping on the side waiting for the traffic to go [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY][FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]

m25 is more of a carpark than a motorway, m6 is either closed to crashes or someone trying to jump off a bridge,

M60 and m62 aren't much better

I use to use think A14 new market was nice not much traffic. Went on the car park a few time good experience lol and that other one by Northampton
