Of course you are. It doesn't matter what car you drive. It's the memories of the times you had in it. I used to have a really old X-Reg (I mean OLD X-Reg) Honda Accord. I was quite emotional when I let her go.

The Astra makes you feel like you and the missus should be wearing matching jumpersLast edited by Duvet; 30-01-2012 at 11:26 AM.

Great cars. The Tonesmobile (1.6 Caravan), 18 years and 314,000Km young, rolls indomitably on. Long may it roll. The only reason I wouldn't have another Opel is that I'm not at all sure whether there will be an Opel in the near-mid future.

Just come back from a long weekend in the NorthEast, and the quickest thing I saw today was an Astra, in fact I saw 2...
They are the new 'white van mans'!Arsene Wenger, the Official North West feeder academy manager...
With the money I saved on cakes, I bought a nice motor..

Certainly better cars than the haters would have you believe, but the image kills it for the brand-addicted. Their loss is our gain, since they are hilariously cheap secondhand. Originally Posted by tones
