aye, bro hired a car - and despite the booking say "CONFIRMED; Astra 1.9cdti" we got a 1.2 8v GP.
oh dear, no power at all there. rubbish. utter rubbish. had around 10k on the clock it soudned like the alternator was on it's way out already. it was fun on nsl lanes and the like - and it was taken to the road that cooks the brakes, and the brakes survived (last two cars to do that road, mk2 punto 1.2 8v, corsa 1.0 - brake discs were glowing by the end of it).
