Default What Happened When Wenny Drove An Astra

Even more funnier than the amount of smoke it kicked out, was when the lass brought the car to wennys, and said it was making a funny noise, when asked what does it sound like ?, she said, and i quote, 'like metal bees trying to get out of the engine'

think what she meant was, sounds like its span the shells

Judging by what I've heard from Vauxhall engines alone I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole!

Practically every Corsa I walk past sounds like the tappets are busted!
