Cool video, and it answers once and for all the question:
"Which is quicker, a modified RS Turbo, or a standard and poorly maintained Astra"

Sounds like a hell of a car mate, i'll keep an eye out for it.

Wonder who owns it?

Aww, you spoilt my fun

I was waiting for him to dig out the article I wrote in Fast Ford about Rod's new engine and start telling me about it


Seriously though, very cool Saph and will be back out again early next year hopefully, as its nearly ready now, sadly Rod had a few health scares this year which delayed him.

Rod's fine at the moment mate, it was earlier in the year he had some scares.

Im sure the car will be back faster than ever early next year

210 would be awesome to see and it should breeze past that
