I thought they made engines (one of which ended up in a Vauxhall). Are you sure Vauxhall have only made one decent car? Can you say this without actually driving the cars? Irmscher USED to do proper race engine tuning, etc. like Blydenstein. They were retired by GM and now they make chav stick-on crap.

May be vauxhal hinting at a possible replacement championship for the now defunct Leon Cupra cup??
I hope they do, cos the Toca tour needs a stepup programme, but I also hope they dont either....cos I wont even think about trying to do touring cars in a few years if I have to work on or drive them.
As you probably already know, major Vauxhall hater here... remind me wot u drive again? Well, as of January/February next year, an Alfa Romeo 146. What a surprise YOU had to try and make it personal again though..

What a surprise YOU had to try and make it personal again though.. aint bein personal,its just that u are rippin some good cars whilst driving a really bad one!irmscher made a beutiful roadster not long ago to mark their 40th anniversary complete with a big v8,fair enough they do make their money more on styling now but would hardly call it cheap an nasty!

These are cool.
Im loving the 'factory style' big name aftermarket attention that the hot hatches like these and the ST models are getting. It makes the car into what the engineers intended but without the compromises necessery out of the factory.
Bring em on i say.
I HATE cars. ![[Linked Image]](http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a400/BMXDAVE/s14a.jpg)

I wasnt rippin the cars Dave, just expressin my opinion on the modern cars. Wen it comes to Vauxhalls, I stopped liking them around the time the Vectra was introduced, Im an old school Griffin fan.. Would absolutely love a Chevette HSR... I utterly despise the corsa and the current astra..hence why I dont like these.
I love the old mkI and mkII Astras..and Nova rally cars are God.
As I say, just the modern ones have taken a big step down.
