New car day, I love it!
Just got back from buying my new car.
A Carlton GSI 3000 24V.
The best pic I can find is this:
Its the same colour, but my wheels are different to the ones on the pic.
Everything works, the windows, the aircon, the cruise control the trip computer, the lot. The only thing that lets it down is a bit of surface rust, but thats no problem to sort out.
On the way home I tried her out and she donuts quite well for a big car. Not drifted her yet as it was dry and I prefer to start these things in the wet. but she seems to handle well enough during the donut to be easy enough to control.
To say I'm happy being back in a RWD car is an understsatement.
To say i'm chuffed to **** is closer!

P.S. anyone want to buy my astra? I've dropped the price to 700 quid now. serious enquiries via PM please

I tried it loads of times and I'm sure I was using it right. I can't believe that!! The cruise never works on Carltons
