What did I see? (Road going Touring Car..?)

[danzman1991]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone could shed any light on what I saw earlier?

It was a Vauxhall Astra, he actually pulled out in front of me but he put his foot down and by christ did this thing move - never seen anything like it!

It looked like a BTCC car, but was obviously road legal. Just wondering if anyone knows of such a thing?

As far as I can remember it was mainly white but had a similar wing to this...

PS. Was in Ashford, Kent if by any chance someone has seen the same car too!

Tuned VXR with a BTCCalike wrap?

Theres a couple of Time Attack cars that sport that sort of livery, road registered too.

It'll be a VXR press car made to look like the tourer. Honda had similar with the old Civic in the 00s.

Astra Nurbergring ?

Just out of curiosity, was it in Ashford? I live very close to the business you linked to, but have never seen it (and I usually notice anything unusual). Shall keep an eye out for a nose if so, as it looks intriguing.

Yes, pulled onto the A28 out of the junction next to Renault.

Quick google of their phone number shows they're located here: http://www.yell.com/biz/ashford-car-services-ashfo...

If that is anywhere near you? Can't say I've seen it around either to be honest!

Was it pulling out of a McDonald's by any chance?

Maybe, it is quite a popular fast food outlet.
