Dragged to PVS show
Well I had the offer of attending the performance vauxhall show this year. I had never ever been as I eat breathe and **** japs ( not literally as they are too big for my starfish).
Anyhow dietary problems aside its the first time in ages i've caught the sun at pod and it was interesting to see what was running the strip. I have drawn one conclusion though in that should i see a Nova I will exercise caution. Nearly all of them there today had the 2 litre turbo from gsi turbos or the VXRs and there was one or two with a v6 shoehorned in.
There was also an astra estate with a jet engine testing which was ok but not quick at all running a 18 second quarter mile as the afterburner wouldnt engage on its first run, not sure on later as i left due to the ever looming sun stroke I was gently introducing into my body.
So as a summary, wasnt a bad show but i didnt feel like a fat kid in a cake shop, more like a fat kid browsing the bottom of a salad bowl and finding the occasional nice thing.
Free day out though courtesy of my mate so
Anyhow couple of pics and what I learned about the cars...
Vauxhall engine - clean.
Green Vauxhall
Some Vauxhalls
Blue Vauxhall
Quick Vauxhall
Nice Seat
White Vauxhall with stickers
Not a Vauxhall
Another Vauxhall
Old Vauxhall
V8 Vauxhall
Lotus Carlton interior
The heart of the beast.
A genuine Lotus estate
Vauxhall Barbecue
OMG Vauxhall - Clear proof that these mistakes are still out there. Couldnt resist masking their reg plate of shame with this one instead. Thank god im yet to see a scooby spoiler on a vectra unless someone knows of such a clown.

I didnt to be fair and I was grumbling about the genuiness until i looked at some articles about them the owner had. - Although it could be a self made frankenstein that was featured somewhere. I'm not 100%

Am I wrong in thinking that that Opel badged Mk1 Astra GTE looks great?
That spoiler shouldn't be on any car, be it a Vauxhall or a Subaru

Excellent intelligence report chief. Always nice to know what our adversaries are up to. Must admit I chortled at the steering wheel picture. Does he/she really need a sticker telling he/she how many turns lock to lock. lol

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! This would make my day to see this
I have also neglected to put this picture up on the internet. How i do not know, this was possibly one of my favourite cars of the day. I have no idea why but i think this is a pant wettingly beautiful car. Kinda reminds me of an m3.
I like a vauxhall example
and I even like my pic 
lol
