Hey all, just thought I would throw up some photos from a recent meet we had since the weather was great.

This Vauxhall is just epic and has a rep of flooring bigger rides like the Golf VR6's in the right hands. *yum*

Boasting just over 230bhp with 260 lb/ft torque is not half bad for a car that weighs hardly anything.

Few distractions in the BG need to go. :)

Enjoy.

Reasonably nice light on it & impressive specs for a low weight ride, but I don't see the point of posting it where I'd expect to see a forklift? ;)

Maybe so but it was either there or grass and this car definately does not belong on grass.

Not many places around London where we can meet up. Industrial estates are big enough to hold us all in. ;)

Jeeez! You'd think that they would have better things to do? Maybe try, "Gone in 60 Seconds"? Set up a tripod & decide where you want everyone to be. Put down a marker for the front wheels & have everyone move in at the same time. Shoot a series & get the H out of there. :D
