Hi, all.
As i say, from sunny Glasgow.
Recently, been needing to become a two car family, so traded our '16 Pug 2008 (as much as folks take the piss, ive never had a bad pug) in for a couple of Astra's. My better half opted for a newer model '17 plate, which she loves.
Myself, I'm picking mine up tomorrow night. '12 plate Astra sports tourer 1.7 cdti (125). So, here i am , mooching around to see what the score is with these, whats doable, whats not, what i can achieve myself, what ill need an expert for, and what i can get out of it. Only the second car I've owned that not shared, since '93 (MK 4 escort :-) ) so i get to do pretty much what i want, so long as i can still fit 5 dogs in the back of it.
So, gonna spend some time trawling the forum, getting to know the car etc, and then there may be a period of time of bombarding you all with questions and queries, then a few weeks of ominous silence as i break things to fix things :-) and explain how im skint cos "The guys on 'tinterweb thingy said its worth it, honey!" lol
I'll add a picture of said vehicle once i collect it
Till then, cheers, I'm off to browse
