stevmo3691 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 And its not exactly "wide" as the title depicts. I'll put some SI RST arches on mine and call it wide shall i?this does seem a bit like we are picking on an astra a bit. maybe thats cos this is ESCORTevolution not ASTRAevolution only joking - got so many other cars on here. although why a vauxhall? loads of my friends have had various vauxhalls and all been rubbish. i had a mint vectra (former reverend owner) and that was worse than rubbish to drive and my mums CDX astra auto has managed to cover 10k in the time we've owned it - 4 years. she hates driving it that much, but wont sell it - bit confusing, but easily answered. dad picked it, so she uses my dads car - 2.5 V6 Mitsu Galant Auto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 anyone a member of barryboys? Could give them a laugh? Its a huge waste of money IMO but everyone has different tastes. Some may think spending out on playstations and stuff is a waste of money and want to entertain themselves by spending a few hundred quid designing a wide arch 80s car.... Its up to them.
