Following the death of my Astra Estate, I decided I fancied a new career, selling cocaine, and taxing people around Casablanca. Naturally I needed a new car, to fit with the new image: Car comes with Aviator sunglasses as standard Beautiful, wood veneer dash, and a corded, in-car telephone And the important bit - the mileage: www.flickr.com/photos/ballenuk/sets/72157604520729363/ - More Pics Oh yes, that is 337,600 miles. A third of a million and still going strong. Find me another car from 1985 still going with those miles and I'll be very impressed ;D Another great thing about it, aside from people thinking I'm a pimp/drug dealer/taxi driver, is that the car runs on LPG. Granted, it leaks slightly, but with a 2.3-litre engine (which actually goes pretty damn well by the way), and the current petrol prices it's definitely worth it. I'm pretty pleased, my old man thinks it's hilarious, my girlfriend thinks it's a heap of sh*t but there we go. Anyone need any cocaine?

Get it on the deck! Are you missing a front bumper mount? I think I've go one at the workshop if you need it.
Also, what's that funny little thing in the middle of the two air vents?

There's a touch of SABOTAGE by the Beastie Boys about these pics. With a European twist, obviously...

Yeah I bidded on the lunchtime the day it ended, then sat there for the last 15 minutes in the evening pressing F5 waiting for some tosser to outbid me. No-one did. Sorted.
Not really got any plans for it to be honest. I might tidy up the rust a bit. It's got some around the arches and stuff, which I Kurusted at the weekend. We'll see! I fancy another drivers seat too. This one is falling apart and has more bounce than a fat bloke on a trampoline
