Im a big fan of the old cavalier (obviously)
Im actually a vauxhall fan
Was a bit of a change for me going the veedub route but test driving the MK5 golf was like night and day to the MK5 astra which swung it for me, the VXR is a chav mobile aswell, Golf is far more subtle

Company car

I liked this one:
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-3/969979/4147q.jpg)
Until I found out it had an identical twin (caught in a bus lane in Bromley)
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-3/969979/5147q.jpg)
My sister's Golf which got me interested... to say the least.
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-3/969979/6-v5q.jpg)
The GT TDi which got superchipped.
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-3/969979/7tdiq.jpg)

Is that a white Focus ST in the 2nd picture???????? :laugh:
-
Some of mine - those which I can remember.
1980 Fiat 131 Supermirafiori TC - met green, with gold velour interior - went like stink, but shyte electrics, and italian woodworm
1977 Ford Capri Mk2 1.6L - metalic red, with black vinyl roof, what a shed
19?? Ford Escort Mk3 1.3CVH - silver heap that I sent back (stealer lied about accident damage)
1981 Ford Capri Mk3 1.6GL - another Dagenham dustbin
1982 Fiat 131 Mirafiori CL - rear wheel drive fun
1988 Ford Escort Firefly 1.6CVH (bodged/badged as Ghia) - more stuctural rigidity on a box of Swan Vestas
1985 Vauxhall Cavalier Mk2 1.6L - bodyshell with the strength of a tank
1989 Ford Fiesta PopPlus - got it for next to nowt, shyte though
1990 Vauxhall Cavalier Mk3 2.0 CDI - a tank with more toys
1999 Vauxhall Vectra GSI 2.5V6 - nigh-on 200 ponies in a bog standard Vectra chassis = fun, but no longevity, oh, and shyte Saab gearbox
2002 Vauxhall Vectra GSI 2.6V6 - less power, more torque, better gearbox, but bollox quality control at the engine plant
1999 Vauxhall Astra Mk4 1.8 Sport (poor mans SRI) - surprisingly excellent, once I sorted the lack of welding on the exhaust headers
2003 Audi B6 S4 - needs no intro - even goats love it
And now my objects of less than 4 wheels:
19?? Puch GrandPrix Special - very fast 50cc moped, with real "big bike" styling, but it was French, and broke
1977ish Yamaha FSIE - a Fizzy, say no more
1979ish Kawasaki KH100 - faster than the Slowzuki GP125's :wink:
1980ish Yamaha RD200-DX - parallel twin 2 stroke heaven
1996ish Kawasaki ZZR600E4 - fast, but only in a straight line, see a bend then get off and push it round
-
GTI CV7 was that Bromley in Kent?
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-3/969979/5147q.jpg)
Yes... The London Borough of Bromley was on all the correspondence. They wouldn't believe it wasn't me, The fact that I'd never been there didn't matter to them. I had to get my brother-in-law who's a copper to write to them, they finally gave in. (after threatening me with court etc.)
Out of the blue I got a visit from Warwickshire Traffic Police who inspected my car. They said mine looked totally legit but I part exed it pdq. A month later I got a letter from the old bill telling me to take it for analysis and that it would be an offence to sell it on after receipt of the letter... glad I got rid!

Thats just down the road from me. Probably a good thing you have not been there :grin:
