Myself and my colleague, Shane, invited a few key car bloggers and editors to test drive the All New Astra at Millbrook Testing grounds in Bedford on Sat 5th Dec.

What a day out! If you're a car enthusiast you would have felt like a kid in a candy shop. After a brief presentation, a demonstration around the car, and explaination of the Millbrook rules, we all headed outside to the vehicles and it was literally a free for all. Not only were there various models of the new Astra, but competitor cars for us to test as well.

I managed to get a camera in one of the Turbo models and asked the 'camera-friendly' bloggers & editors if they'd do an in-car review for us. Thankfully, a few said yes...
