Tomorrow night - car S.O.S.: Vauxhall Astra GTE
General Motors was a late entrant to the hot hatch market - but when it did turn up to the party, it did so with an amazingly effective offering. |

No vinyl around the back window and the plonkers painted the inside of the alloys black Cavalier SRI stylie but it did look great.
