Don't know why but I really enjoyed that article
However I fear I've read the word "commodious" more times in the last 5 minutes than I ever have in my life, surprised the subs didn't take at least one out

Almost as good as the Chevanne. But not quite.

Probably just used the word as a placeholder and never got around to changing some of them. Like you say, proof reading etc is long gone. You've only got to read some of the online articles from the mainstream papers, they're rife with appalling grammar, spelling mistakes and repetitive text. |

Griffin Autos’ one off Astra J van at the Nürburgring GM Test Center during our Germany trip last week.
This thing dropped jaws everywhere we went, from taking an award at Opel Treffen Oschersleben, to outside the Exterior Design Studio at Opel’s head office and manufacturing plant in Rüsselsheim.
Starting life as an Astra Estate it’s amazing what 1000 man hours can do, the finish on this thing is easily a match for anything to have left the Vauxhall production line.

Anything can be done like when I worked at Penfolds Vauxhall main dealer in Lewisham we were given a batch of brand new Corsa Bs from VX that we give a roof chop and made in to a convertibles, they were never rolled of fthe line like that.

You've only got to read some of the online articles from the mainstream papers, they're rife with appalling grammar, spelling mistakes and repetitive text. There's a bit of an excuse for online stuff, but I quite often notice terrible spelling or grammar in printed publications, daily newspapers and the like. I had a go at our local chamber of commerce for using "formally" when they really meant "formerly", and the same for the Daily Express. "Geri Horner, formally known as Ginger Spice" isn't really what they meant. the finish on this thing is easily a match for anything to have left the Vauxhall production line. Now now, come on. If you haven't got anything nice to say...  I had my Firenza painted at my local Vauxhall dealer, and having seen the finish on the new cars in their showroom when I was visiting, I made them promise not to match that finish. Fortunately they did much better. |

Yes, the finish nowadays is questionable especially on the later panel vans such as the silver Transits you can see where the robot has gone up and down! Very poor

There is an old lady in my village that drives a dark green one of these, I'm sure it's the only one of its kind I have ever seen. |

I feel a bit dirty admitting this but I really like the Mk5 Astra vans. They look great modified. I would show an example but these 2 popped up on Google Search and they're amazing. So much filler.   |

Have a loon on the number plate and see if its from Penfolds vauxhall, there was one other dealer who did them but cant remember the name now |
