    It is the same here in Germany. For example: NXT Carwash. In the US you pay 7,59$ or even less. In Germany I have to pay 26,83$ for it
    Thats 3,5 times as much. Can't only be due to the shipping costs.

        Yep, in the UK it costs £13 (~$25) for NXT Car Wash... Hey ho...

        Lovely work on the cars, both looking fantastic, deep red and very glossy.

        Never knew you got the AstraG in Mexico, I own one (badged as a Vauxhall in the UK, but essentially the same car, only difference is engine tweaks and suspension tweaks by Lotus for the British market):



        I was less impressed with the latest generation AstraH to be honest, its a much jazzier looking car for sure but the steering was too light for me and lacking in feel and the suspension was a little soft for my tastes, though I'm used to my SRi! You got 200bhp in the AstraG too, in the GSi models - its the same 2.0litre EcoTEC Turbo unit as in the newer AstraH. Not sure if its being exported or not, but in the UK we have the AstraH VXR (and in Europe the AstraH OPC) - 240bhp! Quicker than a Golf GTi, but watch out for torque steer! Great fun car though, and with uprated turbo and intercooler and remap and head gas-flowed, they are seen pushing 300bhp in the UK, more if you're willing to rebuild the engine with uprated pistons and crank.
