DarthOwl Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Has anyone else noticed the disproportionately large numbers of Vauxhall Astras compared to other cars in Sheffield? Watch out for 'em the next time you're on the road. What's that all about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Out with the dog this lunchtime and of the ten or so vehicles that passed me, three were Jeeps and at least four were other types of large 4x4s, one City Link van (lost I expect - 'cos he was on the phone), and a couple of ordinary cars but I don't think they were Astras. It might depend on where you live ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trickle Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Too many Vauxhalls full stop. Bar the VX220 and Monaro I cant really think of a valid excuse for anyone buying one brand new. At least the stuka bomber level depreciation means that a 3rd hand buy isnt such a criminal act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_partridge Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I never really noticed many Astras on the roads - until I bought one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarby Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I never really noticed many Astras on the roads - until I bought one! Tis the same with me, every car I have, there seems to be an increase in the same type of car on the roads. I now see, like, 30 or so McLaren F1's on me travels each day, dig that!

medusa Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I never really noticed many Astras on the roads - until I bought one! That's a psychological phenomenon called 'positive selection'. You see exactly the same number of Astras on the road as you saw before you got your car, but now you notice them more because you identify more with them. It's exactly the same as when you get ill, every news bulletin seems to have a relevant story that's important to you, or when you fall pregnant lots of celebs are in the papers having babies. It's actually the same number as was there before, you just didn't notice them in the same way before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
