    Vauxhall’s mid-size coupe challenger caused a stir when it became available to order in June. With a starting price of just £18,495 and dramatic styling from a design team led by Brit, Mark Adams, the GTC is set to wow UK customers and rock the established front runners in its class – the Volkswagen Scirocco and the Renault Megane Coupe. But the GTC’s appeal runs far deeper than its rakish lines. Unlike many three-door versions of existing compact hatches, the GTC – like the Astra Sports Hatch ...

    It is with regret that Dave (GTE 16v) has decided to stand down as the events co-ordinator for MIG. I'm sure you will all agree that over the past three years he has done a sterling job and it will be a shame to see him stand down. The good news is that he will remain within the team and assist where possible with all areas. Your new Events co-ords are @ndy and myself. @ndy will be primarily dealing with the Castle Combe events and myself Billing, PV and TVL. Any issues though for either event ...
