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.

A sunny weekend shopping at Braehead

So, it was quite sunny last weekend and didn't feel that cold so me Linzi, Katie and Katie's little boy Jay decided to go to Aberdour and go to the beach! I really wanted to go to St. Andrews because it's my favourite place (I don't know why, there's just something about it) but we'd never been to the beach at Aberdour so we made a last minute detour. It wasn't very sunny and we spent most of the time in the car – not that this was necessarily a bad thing!! Absolutely freezing but still managed to go in for a wee dip and pretend we were on holiday! I never noticed how much room was in the back seats until wee Jay was sitting in them – he couldn’t kick his mum in the front seat which is a first!


Shopping Spree
I was also in dire need of some retail therapy so last Saturday me and my mum decided to go to Braehead Shopping Centre and spend some money!! Considering the GTC is quite a large car, it's surprisingly easy to park! And that's a bold statement coming from me, I couldn't even park a Corsa when I had one!! I've noticed quite a lot of cool things about this car which I wasn't told about to begin with, I suppose I had to figure them out for myself. For example, if no one told you how to open the boot, you would probably be like me and spend 15 minutes looking at it.
Coming back with what seemed like 60 bags of clothes and shoes, instead of dumping them on the ground, all I had to do was jab my elbow against the big Vauxhall badge and it opens :) the downside of having such a large boot is it means that me and my mum get to shop more to fill it!!

Knockhill
Never been to Knockhill before and really wanted to see what the fuss was about so on Sunday me and Linzi decided to go for a drive. There wasn't any cars racing but the gates to the track were open and I was really tempted just to drive in and rally the GTC about . . . but I knew Peter Vardy would probably have a heart attack (as would my insurance company!) so decided just to have a nosy at the cars that were up there. There were loads of amazing cars! All done up and covered in stickers. None as cool as the GTC though ;) maybe I'll suggest to Knockhill they should make the GTC their new track car! 


Beautiful wee Corsa VXR Nurburgring

Also had a little nosy up at Gleneagles to see if I could spot Gerard Butler - no luck but I'll find him one day!! For now I'm just counting down the days until the 7th of April when I go to ESSEX!!
