Astra in Flint

tomcat_cool17 · 12-18-2006, 10:15 PM

I was driving on North I-75 in Flint this evening when, on the exit ramp to Miller Rd, I spotted a silver Opel Astra waiting to turn left!!! It had a strange hook in the front bumper, but still had the Opel badging and Astra name. Obviously it had a Manu. plate on it, and the guy driving didn't seem too concerned. It was sweet seeing one in Michigan already. Sorry, no pics though, I was driving.

Opel Astra in FlintTown?? I was just up there at The Machine Shop over the weekend. I catch alot of test mules on I-94, its always cool seeing them. I always go to grab my phone to call and tell someone..till I realize the only people I would have to tell that would care or know what I was talking about are the guys on here haha. I bet you were kickin your ass for not having a camera on ya, like I do every 2 or 3 days of the week that I see a car worth snappin a picture of.

If I were to take a picture, it would've just caused an accident because it was way to busy on that freeway off ramp to take a pic. I usually call my Dad whenever I see something.

I'm betting 30 quid it'll be exactly this.

Which is certainly no bad thing!
