Well here is my Car. Its just now 5 years old, October will be the first month of zero payments, its a 2003 Tiberon. Its only the second car I have owned. Its a V6 180HP, its been pretty good, still drives good. Everything is stock except for some added sound.

Its almost time for something new.

Samson The Cat · 11-09-2007, 06:42 PM

Is it as fast as this one?

aloha · 11-09-2007, 06:53 PM

aloha · 11-09-2007, 10:30 PM

OPEL ASTRA 1.6

These are pictures the previous owner took.

The following pictures are taken by me. In lack of a more neutral background, the abandoned factory near our house serves as location again. (Before someone asks, "nowa81" does not stand for "no way" )

I know, it's silver and most people here don't like hatchbacks, but so far I don't regret the buy. The car doesn't have much on the odometer (the former owner - a pensioner would drive 2000 km per year - it's all in the checkbook). I would not have found another car of that size with only 10000km done for the same price. It also has AC, fog lamps and a CD radio, unlike my old car.

The old Vectra has so many malfunctions and broken stuff, it's not rentable repairing it. It would need new brakes, a new clutch, an oil change, a new handbrake cord and when it's all done, it would still be a 12year old car that wouldn't pass the next visit at the Technical Control Board (due in 5 months) because of rust. It would also have a gearbox that with way too much clearance. The clicking sounds are horrible when accellerating or letting the gas pedal go. I noticed it in the drivethru at McD.

He'll live on in the form of beverage cans or construction pillars.

Still I will miss my Vectra.

My mom's car will remind me of it.

edawg99 · 03-09-2008, 06:58 PM

Congrats on the new car. It looks pretty good to me. I like it.

**Val** · 03-10-2008, 08:22 PM

VEEEEEEERY nice Samson!

Here in Brazil we don't have Astra 1.6.
Here we have:

1.8 with 106HP
2.0 with 112HP
2.0 Fex with 123HP with gas and 128HP with alcohol
2.0 16v (Astra GSi) with 138HP

An astra 1.6 should be very economical. Congrats Samson!
