Goodbye Astra
Having had the pleasure of driving the Astra for the past three months, it is almost time up! I thought that for my final weekend with the car I would put it to the test in central London.
As always the car handled well in both heavy and light traffic, cyclists could see me coming and I didn't need to use the horn once. In fact, I was amazed at how many cars let me in! I perhaps went a little mad with photos in front of land marks but as this is the final blog, I decided that you can never have too many photos. Check out horse guard parade - seating all ready for the beach volleyball!
Favourite features: Its magnetic look, Size of the boot, Sporty feel, Fabulous handling and 6 gears.
Worst feature: Automatic wipers - I almost always have to over ride them due to not kicking in.
Top tip: Practice using the clever little hand break button before setting off for the first time - it takes a bit of getting used to.
Finally, I would do almost anything to keep this car for another three months. Not owning a car, it provided essential transport for the Kilimanjaro training team, taking us up to the highest peaks in the UK plus it has given me quite a bit of street-cred amongst the kids at school. I have enjoyed every moment of every drive and I will be first in the queue to buy this car.
Thank you so much Peter Vardy for allowing this crazy chic to drive your car up and down the UK.
