The search for a new car entered its 3rd week last sunday...:confused:
For those who dont know, I put the idea of the 330 Comvertible to bed for now, as Im looking to buy my own place sooner rather than later
This meant that I needed a sensible car...Most know I miss my astra, so it was sort of logical to explore that route further.
I found an totally standard, '04 black GSi on the trader last sunday.8) Seller had just placed the advert and I was the first caller. Provided it was as described, I would buy it, so yesterday Astra Dan, Benn and me set off to Hertfordshire.
Car was as desrcribed, so I bought it. (Seller was an older gentleman, who was selling to get a VXR)
The pictures.
Me and the seller at his home...just getting ready to take it
Journey Home...
Back to Dans House...
Old stereo coming out...tasty Alpine 9835-r going in (cheers Steve)
Orange bulbs...
Silvertecs in...
Nasty V grille
New Irmy one fitted...

Back at home
Obligatory A-S sticker - cheers Mat:wink:
Immediate Plans:

Already spent £300 this week, and that was before it was even in my possesion.
Probably spending more than that this coming week

I really like the interior/seats etc
Obviously full leather would have been nice, but tbh I think full leather is too much. Black car, black leather = no definition imo
