The Corporal's off to her new home as I type and I'm now Cavless. She is going to live and be pampered along with quite a few other soon-to-be classics in a warehouse somewhere (apparently..?). At least there's an E plate 130 in there to keep her company. No idea why the guy's collecting all these older cars, but sounds like a good hobby to me. Keep up the good work maintaining and running these great symbols of my home town on the roads! All the best, Bri.

Hi, Ive been signed up to the forum for a while now and have introduced myself once before. but uni has kept me away from the cars and as a result the forum! My father has two convertibles, here are a couple of pics: Was hoping that someone might recognise the registration plates, especially the black one, not sure of the origin of the bodykit? All i have been told is that both of these are sri, not even sure of that lol. Any info on these cars would be excellent! Merry Christmas Mark.

My name is Tom and I live in Kent. I recently purchased an '88 Mk2 Cavalier 1.8 LXi Saloon to use as my daily driver, and so far I have enjoyed it very much. This is a pic of her sitting next to her big sister (my Red Top powered Manta)! The only bugbear I have with the Cav is it idles at about 5/600 rpm... Any suggestions? I hope you like her and I look forward to participating more in the forum. Cheers, Tom XE Power baby! ;D

Just to let you all know guys that my Cav was side swiped on saturday night by a drunk driver and now its a complete write off. 1 of my mates is still in hospital and the other 2 are cut and bruised. Must say that even for an old car it stood up for itself a agiainst a new nissan primera very well. Its been a credit to me in the short period iv had it. Just wanted to let john know so that he can update the calibre register. Oh and if anyone knows of another one for sale or would be able to get me any evidence of what they are work so the insurance wont rip me off i would be more than grateful. Cheers all, Ben

Been to Tenerife for two weeks. Spotted 8 mk2 Cavs (Ascona's) all absolutely immaculate apart from a couple with door dents. All of them were saloons GT's, GL's and one modified beauty. Yes coming from Mr Standard it's hard to believe Im saying it. Why no Hatchbacks does anyone have any idea. Wish I could bring a left hooker back and convert to right hand drive.

Thought I would say hello again as I've been away for a while, hopefully back now. Over the last year I've moved from the south east to Glasgow, still got the CD and its doing ok. There are a couple of things need doing that I'll ask for advice on separately. Something else, spotted a CD saloon on Carmunnock Road in Glasgow the other morning. It's driver spotted me too. Anyone on here? (is there still a member map on here? couldn't find it)

Just started to break MK3 Cavalier Diplomat 1993 2.0 8v with Cat. Is it the 116BHP or will it have the 130bhp SEH engine fitted.
