Hiah everyone

Just thought I would bob in and introduce myself.

I am Hev (Heather) and have just purchased a Bi Turbo Astra.  I have been in the Vauxhall scene for rather along time.

I used to have a red mk4 GSi, then a corsa 1.4 SRi and now back to some grunt with the bi turbo.  My hubby has a 1.9 Mk5 with Ex pack.

I used to be a regional Organiser for Astra Sport/AOC and also a Moderator on VX-Torque.

looking to get back into showing/meets etc now my little boy is 7 (and is a proper petrol head!)

Hope to see some of you soon

Hello and welcome, don't forget to post some pictures.
The Bi Turbos are very nice, have you got the red and black leather?

Crikey - really - I know they are rare but thought they may be a few on here!

Welcome. I like you am a bit of a Vauxhall fan although my car CV is nowhere near yours. It's consists of, amongst others, a MK4 coupe, a corsa SXI and now the J.

I love the look of the bi-turbo... Especially the extra tweaks it seems to have. How does it drive?

It's lovely to drive - although I am using kid gloves with it at the mo.  So many people see a black car and think they can drive at it

Droooool! I'd love to see yours in person! And Ermmm I think that may be it's new name... It was called technical grey when I got it. It's nice and when it gets dirty it just looks black all over so doesn't look grotty haha
