Hi all its being a while my site
www.carmagreviews.co.nz keeps me busy these days so ibeen away from the board for some time
In my area here in Upper Hutt - my 1988 Opel Manta 2.0GSi CC is still in the Garage and have not seen any Mantas on the road in the hutt valley for a few years while my daily driver Opel Vectra A 2000 16v is still going strong its maroon (more brown metallic look) paint looking very faded from Hutt and Wairarapa Sun - But it has a twin in Wainuiomata - owned by one of service Managers whom is EX GM of Brendon Foot Motors in Lower Hutt
There used to be a light Silver 2000 16v owned by Student at Upper Hutt College but its been over a year since i seen that
Bit concerned regarding that post of 2 Opel Vectra 2000 16v's crushed at a wreckers!
Guys are idiots!
There quite a few Vectra A 2000GT 5 door Hatch all were 8v - There were no NZ new 16v!
Today i saw a near mint early Vectra A 2.0GL with PN plates and quite a few other GL and GLS owned by perhaps their original owners as Upper Hutt seems increasing become the Retirement Capital of Wellington apart from Bogan boy race element!
As for Kadetts -there is Brown Metallic Vauxhall Astra 1.8GTE (aero look) 5 door owned by Dave of Daves Upholstry - oroginally owned by Dutch Architech and i used to see it regularly in Wellington city - Dave now owns it it carries a Pontiac Le Mans front and has nicely lowered - Appartly Dave Races it in club events it carried NJ plates
There is rarer 3 door Kadett with its plates removed in a industrial area of Wingate -=Taita near a Truck depo
as for moderns there is late model Opel Vectra C 5 door Hatch CD in black carrying Vauxhall plates from Silverstream area of upper Hutt
Cheers Julian
