Owned it for nearly 2 years now and haven't blown up yet! 
Crap arty shot:
Is standard apart from Powerflow cat-back exhaust, Astra Sport interior, smoked side repeaters, and debadged/de side-stripped.
Thinking of getting a V6 Vectra/Cavalier/Calibra in November when my insurance is up for renewal though.

It's nothing special just my every day car, but it's expensive because things keep breaking on it!

I do look after it, it's the previous owner that couldn't be bothered looking after it hence why I have spent more than I paid for it fixing it!
The owners before them took it to Vauxhall for EVERYTHING so at least it was sort of looked after in the past.
Needs some work though, mainly 4x new door skins, respray all over, exhaust needs sorting out - I'm sure it's blowing from somewhere but the Powerflow people reckon it's not from their exhaust bits, also uses too much oil so suspect rings and/or valve stem oil seals, and air con needs de-germing because it stinks when I turn it off!
As for alloys... They are a bit kerbed to be honest, don't think they are sellable!

It is an X14XE, the engine has a different inlet manifold in the Astra. Similar to the Z14XE or whatever it is in the Corsa C etc.

It's owned by a Polish native and comes from said person's home land (is LHD). One of many in this area I might point out...
