I'd say worn bores, or valve stem guides are shot
Those too actually, fortunately there's only a few valves so not too much smoke there, and the worn bores mean more displacement yeehaaww

Looks like a Vauxhall Calibra from that angle tongue out
That's because it is one! I've taped on an Omega front end though so it really puts women off now smile

bd! I'm off to look in the classifieds now! Such a nice car!
Nah don't bother mate, drinks the wrong fuel, not 4WD, no paddle shift, no finance deals, made by non-Germans somewhere that isn't Germany and when your neighbour's wife asks him what car you've just got, he'll say "Oh it's only a Vauxhall, isn't that sad?!" and everyone will know that you're on a lower pay grade than them and that you're not an executive!

Another Calibra here, although I've skilfully stretched and widened the body, changed some all of the body panels, converted it to RWD and installed an old Corvette motor I found lying around.

You'd never know though.

That's the straightest and least smokey I've ever seen one of our Calibras! It must have been cruising at about 30mpg too, now that's something to really pitch a tent about!

You sound a little bitter? Why not just say you own a vauxhall instead of all that dribble about it not being German?

I've actually seen that thing in real life. Nearly as ugly as a 1 Series!

Re the Holdens, I rather like them. Rather a lot actually smile

they have been talking about selling them in limited numbers, maybe for the '16 redesign. I think they are only sold in South Korea and the US at the moment.

Here's my DD. Marmite car for some people, but an AWD manual 3.0 saloon appeals to me, and that's all that counts.

Only a little bitter? I must try harder then!

You've seen right through me, I so desperately want to finance a Golf that my vitriolic nature towards PH is impossible to mask smile

So why read it then you cry? For fun of course! Sorry if I touched a nerve at all, if it's any consolation my Dad was German and I liked him thumbup And gherkins and bratwurst and their national anthem too!
