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


The word chav has never been used in a more appropriate manner.  :grin: :grin:

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?

 


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!
