We collected these 2 today.
Black one is mine. Silver mum's
Always nice to inhale that new car smell! Details?Black one is mine. Silver mum's
Both are Astra J (new shape) both were returned demonstrator stock (from dealers that had gone bust). Being the impatient type that kind of decided the spec for me. SRI 1.6 petrol for both. neigh on 5000 miles in (in 2 months
) it still smells new too 
bought it to replace the old commutercoupe (Astra Coupe) liking it quite a lot, a small part of me is wishing i'd have waited for a turbo diesel, but the price difference doesnt really justify it for the amount of time i'll keep it.

My baby...
Is that the same car that is now for sale at BHP?
Lovely car.
I'm anticipating (some) sun in the near future!
I was looking at buying a Gallardo or a 360
but it will not fit in my garage. 
Finally, I have decided on the GT2.
How long have you had your car listed with BHP?

I am in the same scenario, just waiting for my M3 to sell and then can slip into something a little rarer.

About 5 weeks, I use them for all my servicing etc and they are excellent... Confident they will sell it soon and will use them to source a Spyder...I was looking at buying a Gallardo or a 360

Family circumstances have forced me to get all sensible - so the 350 has gone, to be replaced by this 4 door saloon. With a 5l 420PS V8, being sensible has never been so much fun!
Now that is nice - almost a good enough reason to start a family. Out of interest did you consider an XFR as well? The Jag for me (can't afford just yet) is my do everything car!Edited by had ham on Sunday 28th February 16:09

I did, but they were a little too pricey for me and a tad bigger than I really need. A mate has one and I have to say it's a bloody wonderful car. Also, I had 10+ Jag XJ/S-Types when I worked for Ford as company cars so got Jag out of my system then and not really tempted to go back .composure said:

That's a gorgeous G, nicely finished with the silver on black reg!
Unfortunately, the boys in blue didn't agree! Had to get the plate changed to standard ones

A couple more piccies as today for the first time in a long time (well, in the week since I've had it) the car is clean and the sun was shining...
Really like these, very understated and without the image 'problems' of some of its competition.Looks great in that colour scheme too.
