My father had a MK2 Astra. Still got a soft spot for those things. I remember wishing he had a GTE model.

Song at the end? Layla by Eric Clapton. Don't ask about the rest. ; )

A lot of MK2 Astra'a were stolen by joyriders due to poor security, my dads 1990 Astra 1.6L MK2 was stolen years back.

Still see a few MK2 Astras about now. Along with Escorts and Golfs of that era they must outnumber just about all of their rivals of the day.
