	After the Opel I promised the GF i would get a sensible car, so I bought this. It was stock when I bought it apart from the wheels but It had 2 broken springs so I ordered up a set of -40mm springs and Spax adjustables. Turned out to be more like -400mm springs. GF was pleased! NOT!! (I fitted an Executive leather interior to keep her happy for a while) It was actually 1/2" higher than the Opel but due to the longer wheelbase, got stuck more. The exhaust used to scrape on parts of the road and if you piled 4 mates in the back and 1 in the front the mudflaps never left the road. I It even had suspension travel and the tyres never rubbed. It was even good at hangin its out despite being an auto.

	grayhamsri said: Cool car, damn that is low! what make of wheels are they, some kind of minilite replica? suit the car down to the ground (literally!) ;D Cyclone interceptors or something. There used to be a green 2 door Ascona B in Stirling that had a 13" set and I loved them so I was well chuffed when I went to see the Granny. When I sold the car the original owner recognised the car from the wheels and phoned me up to tell me that he had put the wheels on and added all the chrome bits.
