I had 2 of these R5's back in the day and I loved them, Still like them now but of course wouldnt have one. Mine was Pearlecent 'anything' I had more flips in mine than the dreamcoat itself. Slammed 80mm rear, 100mm front, extremely low and loved every head jerking, jaw banging minute of it. 170-ish BHP and I was wrapping it round the country side no probs. Had some interesting plays with the 'Astra GTE 8v and the 16v. Underestimated in their days.
Chavvy now maybe but noway chavvy back then.
..but back in them days no one cared about how ridiculous your ride looked, Whether you was driving a **** or classic,
aslong as it had 15" alloys on it!!
