Rite mate, this is what i hate.... lmao only jokin.

Na it's nice to see one in a different colour, I have'nt seen one that colour before, it'l stand out from the crowd just because of teh colour imo.

Not my kind of colour. It reminds me of an old man's car.

But I think that's only cause my dad's got an Astra in the same colour. His is the one a little more lighter silvery though.

well i wanted charcoal but my bro told me his new car was charcoal so i went for air blue
but tbh with you there are too many black red and silver d's so at least ill be different from every one else

i know when i went to see it last friday i thought it was a bit of a girly color but i suppose red is too lol

any way enough of the babble lol

I was offered a air blue one for cheaper when I got my car, but again, I thought it was an old man's colour still, so I didn't get it lol.

Red is a bit of a girly colour too.

I was really tempted by the goldish colour, but then the saleswoman talked me out of it, as she said that the only people who get that colour car, as disabled people, and really, really old people. So I didn't get it! :lol:

Thanks bud will see you on wednesday ! :D
The torque i just wanner go out now and play ha ha and the auto light thing is fantastic and i like how you can put the air con on and it doesnt affect my speed which in the corsa c 1.2 it reduced the energy of the car dramatically !

You wait till you've done the first thousand miles.

I' ve now got just under 900 on mine, and just this morning going to work it seemed to really have opend up more. 3rd gear is just fantastic, 30 to 60 in a few seconds.

You will get used to first gear, you just need to rev up to about 25-30 before changing and then you have the power for 2nd to pul away nice and quick.
