Quick intro - Astra J Ghost - 5:th-Jun-2016
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

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!

m25 is more of a carpark than a motorway, m6 is either closed to crashes or someone trying to jump off a bridge,
RE: Quick intro - sheppy1 - 7:th-Jun-2016
M60 and m62 aren't much better
