No. My mothers in her 70's and lives in North wales some 80 miles from me, and her Pc is password protected.

I'm 41, married with 2 kids, a mortgage, a £700 credit card bill, a cat, a dog and bills to pay. I have a real job (I'm a Chartered Engineer), I don't wear burrberry, preferring shirt and tie for work, I drive a 5th hand crapy astra as all my savings are in the bank to fund my kids going into higher education, should they wish.

Am I not allowed to day dream about having a mid life crisis. Would it be so bad if I went out and bought a mk2 cav Calibre (of which there are about 20 roadworthy of the 500 made) and stuck a 2.5 V6 into it. Would it cost less than a 4 year old second hand corsa to do it?

I posted this in the VX bit of the Forum. IS there no one that cares about retro vauxhall's. I know the calibre has always divided oppinion but the mk1 astra and the mk2 cavalier SAVED vauxhall and opel in Europe.

Oh. I dare not ask why. So I'll say : YOU SHOULD.

I'll admit it's sort of cool, in an odd sort of way. But "PURE SEX on Wheels" it is not. Even without capitalisation it would still fail to hit the mark.

Sorry.

Cheers,

FT.

Mate, ignore the snobs. I think that's cool and I'd imagine it's rather quick! Had a Cav of that age myself about 18 years ago. (;->

I'm not keen on it personally, but it's not too bad.

It is not sex on wheels, although it is bloody lovely! I saw it myself at the show and it was very nice.

The Mk2 Cavalier stand was very well done, they have a few years on us as a club and it shows. Hopefully we will get a few more members and have a turn out as they did.

I like the Opel Manta, which is kind of a Vauxhall.

On a Cavalier Mk1 ?


I've always had a soft spot for the ascona b, especially in 4 door saloon. If you put an ascona C next to one, there's not much of a styling step when they jumped from rear wheel to front wheel drive.

You see, I could never get excited by low volume specialist and expensive cars. Perhaps the unobtainable is not desirable.

The opportunity to buy it suddenly presents itself.

Oh but I need that money to attend a wedding in the USA.
