The competiton

In October we asked members of the public to submit their 'ultimate journey' on our Facebook page for a chance to win an Astra GTC for 3 months. The submissions were open to the public vote and with over 500 votes five lucky winners made it to the top. You can follow their progress as they review this incredible new model right here and on our Facebook Page.

200 Mile Special Delivery

Another exciting week in the GTC with some added suprises.  I had a delivery arrive that should have been delivered to my sister (200 miles away).  Looking at the GTC and then the parcels my first reaction was “not a chance”, however not only did a flat pack sideboard and TV unit fit, there was room to spare. Amazing!

For the past two weekends the car has been on the M6 and M1 heading to and from the Olympic Park in Stratford, London.  I was some how selected to volunteer at the games so had to attend a training test event.  This happened to be the World Championship Diving Cup - result! The enclose picture shows me at 6:15am helping get the pool ready before the world class athletes arrive. My job was to call the boards  during training (tell the athletes when they can dive, so preventing them landing on top of one another). What a job!  The Olympic park is looking good and I have no doubt that London will be ready.

The car handled brilliantly through central London and being bright red, meant that I was visible too.  My biggest concern was it being stolen from the hotel car park as again people were very interested in both its look and the journey sticker outlining my drive.  A few people did ask: "Aren’t you a bit off track?"

Next week: Centreparks in Nottingham.  I’ll try and put together another film showing some of the internal features of this amazing machine!
