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.
