Cheers, been a long long time! I'll get some pictures when I get chance and post them up.
-
Not been on here for years and years and years! Who's still about from the olden days, any of the regulars? I've just bought a Mk2 again!
-
Don't know if it's one of the Mk2 gang but saw a Calibre on Sealand Road, Chester yesterday. About 2.15pm heading in towards town by the Greyhound Park, think a young lady was driving it. Reg number something like E95 HKK?
-
Cheers, I need to make an effort to get to a few shows this year and it'd be good to put some faces to usernames!
-
Cheers, can't get out of it! Just how I remembered my old one. Need to make a list of parts required for it including rear seat belts. Are they still pretty hard to get hold of?
-
Looks like I might be marauding around here again dudes! Just got myself an early-ish Mk2 SRi hatchback. Taxed and tested, just swapped it for a Vectra with a cracking lad off Retro-Rides. It`s in dire need of a bloody good clean up and some paintwork and other jobs but it goes well enough. Edited and picture added!
-
Definately and you`ve the added bonus that everytime you look at it you`ll know it was YOU who saved it and when it`s finished and you look at the pictures of how it was when you bought it you`ll get a feeling of great satisfaction. Go for it!
-
Wot, no Citroen BX`s? Shame on you Mark-all the way to France and you didn`t get a picture of the best car they made :'(
-
my big toy at the mo has cav steering column and has cav gsi rear lights and was made in blackpool answers on a postcard lol great site by the way
-
Is it possible the plate was transferred and because you don`t know the `new` number that was given to the Calibre it won`t show up? Totally agree when you say nothing can come close to a MK2 you`ve owned. I miss mine so much it hurts, can`t think why I ever sold it in the first place. How much do you want for your MK3? That`s a nice looking motor you`ve got there mate.
-
Yeah, welcome to the site mate. You won`t find a better one in my opinion. You`ll have to post some pic`s of your motor up on here.
-
I have posted the pictures of your car that you e-mailed to me and put them on this site. If you go `featured cars and projects` you will see it there. Hope this helps mate, tell your boss he should let you use the internet for a bit longer each day!
-
Thanks for the e-mails Dragosh but unfortunately your pictures of your car have not come out. Welcome to the world of Cavalier MK2 enthusiasts mate!
-
Welcome to the site mate. Best bet is to put it in the `Cars for sale and wanted` section of this site. There has been someone looking for a 130 so you may be in luck. Anything you`re stuck with shout out-there`s always someone round here to help out.
-
Welcome to the club, you`ll never regret joining it. I`ve not been here that long but everyone is very friendly and welcoming and you`re never far from some friednly advice and help.
-
Nice one, good to hear from you. You will have to post some pictures up of your cars so we can see them.
-
BMB plate would suggest it was registered around here somewhere (Chester), possibly anywhere from Chester, The Wirral and Wrexham.

Nice one, I`ll have to come and have a look at it when you`ve done it. When the lad up the road from me had it he spent every waking hour putting different bits on it-some good some bl**dy awful. He did say why he sold it but I had forgotten. He`s then bought a 740 BMW, a right old shed of a thing and now can`t sell it to save his life. I`ve offered him a load of cheap cars but he`s so fussy it`s unreal. He`s running around in some old car which is crippling him in insurance and juice, I offered him a `K` reg MK3 2.0 with long MOT for £160 (and it`s a bloody good car for that as well) and he moaned because someone told him it "would want brake pads in the next 6 months!" I ain`t kidding. I`ve given up with him now, he`s a nice enough lad but wouldn`t know a good deal if it kicked him in the knackers ;D

Sounds just like the one a lad up the road from me (in Chester) owned and probably is. He fitted a few extras to it including an evo rear spoiler and a front splitter to it amongst other bits if it is the same one. Very tasty motor, he had it a while but I recall he upset a few locals coz he was always driving at stupid speeds round the local streets when the kids were out playing >: and the sound of the dump valve drove even hardened petrol heads like myself round the bend Fair play though, a lovely looking car (even though I owned a standard one before him ;D :Ha :Ha :Ha :Ha).

I think it was actually-the one I owned that is. It definately got re-reg`d on a Shropshire suffix when the previous owner wanted the private plate back and I was going to say I think the letters ended in UJ. Do you know of it`s whereabouts now? It was a very tidy and very original car though the arches were starting to go when I sold it and I`m pretty sure the lad who bought it later said he`d had them done, think it cost him £250 per side. The interior was unmarked, it had an Irmscher exhaust and there was no Irmscher badge on the grille. Love to know if it`s still doing the rounds. Cost me a f****** fortune to re MOT it-mostly welding but also new fuel lines and other bits but was a stunning car. Got refused insurance on it by 5 companies as well I recall, this despite being about 36 or 37 with a full no claims and a clean licence! :?

and know there were only about 10 F reg ones registered, Knew in lad in North Shrops who had an F reg one, bought it from Swansea I think. Anyhow he reckoned they`d made 17 on an F reg. Mine WAS registered on a private plate (A2 EWJ) but the previous owner wanted the plate back and mine got re-registered. Buggered if I can remember what the number was though! I think it ended in BUJ? I sold it to a lad from the Lake District about 3 years ago. There is (or was) another calibre on eBay very recently and it was doing big money, don`t know if it`s finished yet.
