Astra Gte 16v Wtf...?
I was on my way into work this morning, at a leisurely pace on the A38 when all of a sudden I see a H reg ASTRA GTE flying up my backside, I just thought silly fool and stayed in the fast lane doing about 80. Any way the traffic in front cleared and this guy was still stuck to my bumper, so I dropped into fourth to get rid of him. VTEC'd up to 125 looked in my mirror and he was still there 
stuck to my bumper. I decided not to play silly beggers and pulled over to let him past.
But an ASTRA GTE whats going on
Do I have a slow S or was this car modified. Turbo or NOS maybe. The car looked standard from the outside, apart from a huge dinner plate exhaust. 
Some one please console me, I am starting to loose the will to live
PLEASE NOTE ALL SPEEDS QUOTED ABOVE ARE IN KPH (Officer
)
