Very tasty, I have a soft spot for cavs 
My other car is a crappy 2.0 turbo SRI mk5 which is going end of year (will be replaced with my old 1.7td again when it's finished)-
I also have the following-
FZR750 Genesis (1987, 20 valver 4 stroke)-
TS50x (1993, 50cc 2 stroke), 80cc kit fitted, race pipe, big random carb modded to fit (jetted to work with mods), gearing changed also for more top end-
RDLC125 (1984, 2 stroke liquid cooled 125cc)-

This is what the mk5 will be replaced with again (once I've done some heavy mods to it!), this is currently off the road-
And there's my main project car, phase 2 GSI, currently running and is all back together again but always up on axle stands being changed about (below is just after I fitted a new full 1/4)-

My Daily is a 1.4 turbo Seat Leon FR now with no mile on it.
My other toy is this -
Suzuki Swift Sport (Zc32) Track car.
LOTS of mods and upsets alot of things on track. Standard 1.6 16v engine but its not about power. Lets just say for the price of the brake pads you could buy a fair few mk3 astra's
Otherwise i also use the Mrs Astra J 2ltr Diesel

Got my Astra that's long since been retired from daily duties (too low, too hard and too slow 
) so this is my daily now, Mondeo ST TDCi, completely standard bar the springs, which snap for fun and ST replacements are non existent, and it looked ridiculous on normal Mondeo ones. It's only needed 3 wheel bearings, brakes all round, handbrake cable, aux tensioner and belt and 2 window regulators in the 6 months I've had it....

My daily/family car. A3 Black Edition, 2.0TDI remapped. Absolutely love it, goes well and returns awesome economy. Had it 3 years done 40k in it and never missed a beat.
I also have a MK4 Astra, this was my daily before the A3, but I kept it as it's not worth much, but also been an amazingly reliable car. It's handy for tip runs and stuff

Apart from the mk3 V6 which is the wife's car that I get to tinker with we also have this motley crew at present…
The daily hack, Vectra VXR estate, standardish and getting uber rare.
The Friday and weekend cruiser/tower, Touareg Altitude V10, the 750Nm of torque is insane for a 2.6T brick.
My forever and ever and ever on-going project track car, Astra GTE 16v, which is road legal, throttle bodies, cage, Quaife SCCR box, Gripper LSD, Corsa C EPAS etc etc etc huge spec and stupidly long build diary at Astra-mk2.com.
Last but by no means least the slowest car we own at present (2.5 V6 slow, yarp) the garage weight which is always in hibernation and comes out extremely infrequently, Vectra Super Touring 200 #0005, considered selling due to lack of use but it’s a minter so decided to keep it after the wife said don’t.
