It deffo 100% handles better, the way the power is but down is a lot less frantic compared with the Arden one on 19's

Whilst we were in Nurburgring the first time I overheard the Opel Test drivers saying that the Nurburgring Astras have different suspension geometry as well.

DapR springs, Whiteline ARB.

Possibly have the lower part of the back bumper sprayed black, sounds gash, seriously isn't.

Am I right in thinking that no UK insurance company will cover you for the ring?

You would be correct. Nobody is insured in the slightest.

Hence why the £500 factor is an absolute winner as long as you have the cash to pay for the armco once it goes wrong.

Welcome back Oliver.
Hope your dealer looked after you on the price of that 'burg, considering your frequency of purchases.

I'm not silly, trade in we got for the Corsa was ridiculous TBH considering the fact that they are selling brand new ones for not much more than what we got for ours.

Nice one guys! The Burg looks superb with its suspension loaded up in the mini Carasell is it?

Any idea how quick you got the Ignus round in? Im jealous that you had 120hp The 1.2 16v was about 40 short! lol

Proper Karressel

When I was timing on my flying lap and I went out about 20 seconds after Jr I done a 10.02 and that was with at least a 30 second slow down for an accident, when I crossed the line James wasn't massively far behind me. So probably a very low 10 minute lap with no stopping.

The tyres and LSD make life a lot easier out there in the Ingiss.
