It's a vauxhall? They could've at least took some photos without an Opel badge on it (seeing as it's made in Ellesmere Port as well!!).
Didn't really like the mk4, this one looks really nice though.

were they ment to be bringing out a gsi cosra aswell
Posted By: DavidB Re: Vauxhall : Astra VXR - 20th Nov 2005 7:51pm
It was called a Corsa OPC, it had a two litre turbo engine, over 200bhp. I think it's still coming out as well.

I know there ment to be bringing out a 1.6Turbo Corsa smile

Dont know if they make the Astra VXR at E.port...
When i was working there they were only working on the 5-door...
Posted By: DavidB Re: Vauxhall : Astra VXR - 23rd Nov 2005 12:48am
I'm pretty sure all the Astras have been made at Ellesmere Port, do they just assemble them, or is there a pressing machine there as well?
If not they'll have to to change the sign to 'Home of (some of) the Astra(s)'

I met some bloke who worked there in the nineties, and more than likely put my car together!! eek
Posted By: GazzA Re: Vauxhall : Astra VXR - 23rd Nov 2005 12:53am
They do everything in the E.port plant... from the press shop to slat (car final)

From wot i remember tho, they did the astra, astra van, vectra at the same time oshocked

i left about 2 months ago so i dunno if much has changed in there, but i did hear about them doing the new astra estate

I prefere a golf gti german build quality is so much better in my oppinion. Vw just see loads and loads of relible motoring.

They are making the Astra VXR in germany somewhere...

I was on a course at vauxhall recently and got the factory tour and was obviously asking where the vxr's where etc...but they said theyre being made in antwerp or somewhere. They only make the standard bodies on cars on the lines then they go into the bodyshop to have styling parts fitted if they are SRIs etc.

I fell in love with the robots who fitted the windscreens.....!

Yeah, in europe there are 5 Vauxhall plants of which only 3 will be building the new astra.. when i was working there, they were in 3rd position, there'll never get 2nd or 1st coz them other plants are much cheaper to run and the wage is very very low compared to the £10p/h i was gettin while in E.port.

yeah they are cool, i used to work right next to the windscreens machine, there at the top of LEG 3 were as i used to work at the top of LEG 1(Hood release, side Airbags, rear lights) and also in the middle of LEG 4 (rear window wiper motor, rear wiper, interior on the insde boot,ABS brackets)

My Sri Vectra has been tinkered with by 888. I've upset a few exclusive car owners as a result!!!
