Doesn't matter how close it is, It's going to be a chav fest of old Corsas painted with spray cans, get to the VW show!  :grin:

 :mad:   Tara this thread has got you close to the ban hammer.  :chicken:

Go and throw a bucket of water over your head, and tell yourself to never post up anything about Vauxhalls on here again unless you have a picture of one under-steering into a hedge.   :driver:

Not sure whether or not to post this but here gos !!   Turns out this wasn't the chav fest I'd imagined it would be !  Few of them about mind , but none of their cars on display .  Mostly made up of VXRs , old school stuf like Mk1 astras and mk2 cavs , monzas , mantas etc.   Not a trevved up Corsa anywhere ! 
Not as much on track as the VW/ Audi track day though. Most cars were racers / demos of some sort and a couple from oldskooltrakkers (240z and mgbv8) .  Good to see John Cleland out in his 90 Cavalier GSI touring car though.  Looking at the car before hand only to turn around and find him standing next to me looking too !  Hasn't inspired me to buy another Vauxhall though !

Chris.

Hopefully Mr Cleland kept it on the black stuff unlike 2 years ago at Goodwood Festival of Speed. :innocent:

I agree but he wasn't at the 2009 FoS. Probably something to do with the fact that the owner of 'his' car had only just bought it and was lending it to JC for the weekend @ Goodwood.  :chicken:

Big Jessy!  :laugh:

I wouldn't have minded if it were my car, it is a race car after all and you aint trying hard enough if you don't have the odd 'off' every now and then!  :driver:
