Good jump you've made there mate, the astra looks pretty sweet though. You dont see many good examples around these days.

Welcome to Subaru life and Scoobynet!!

cheers nath, yea it was a good example, no rust, very clean bodywork and was a good runner, most of em have rusted away to nothing nowadays.

glad i got the scoob though, the power difference is awesome!
