My name is Mark and I have been to several TT events over the past year or two but never joined the forum until now so here is my first post
I have three Mk1 Astra's, a road spec GTE, an ex GM Dealer Sport GpN rally spec GTE and one currently stripped to a shell for restoration, my daily is a 2016 BMW X5 but the one some of you will know is the road spec GTE A641 SPO, I bought this car in 2015 and set about getting it fully road worthy again as it had been unused and in storage since the 1990's
I have had a fantastic 2016 show season with it winning eight show trophies in it's first year back on the road and have attended many Scottish shows including being invited to display it at the Ignition Festival of Motoring, The Manchester Classic Car Show and the NEC Classic Motor Show where it was on the Top 20 Pride of Ownership stand and won 3rd place as voted for by the 71,000 show visitors

I have attended several TT breakfasts with it and had a play with the Gumball 3000 cars as they passed through Scotland earlier this year
It has also been featured in a few motoring magazines, so 2016 has been quite a year, here are some of the photos from this fantastic year









And the most recent one from the Milano breakfast meet
