I'm back

[swirl]

Well been away from the fold for a long time, previously had a couple of Calibres E21YND and E150YNB both long gone, a few 130's a couple of SRI's a Convertible C800BJT more Mk3's than I can recall, 20+ Vectra's, just reminiscing and wondering how much it would cost me to get my portly backside back in a Mk2, Calibre/130/SRI/Saloon. Wonder who is here I remember. Tahir? Rabbit?

Some off my old motors below, all long gone.

Welcome!! Some lovely cars you’ve had there. I hope you manage to get back in a Cavalier soon

Wow,  swirl, welcome back fella, how the hell are you?

In some ways Cavalier ownership needs to be seen as an addiction.

A decent SRi is probably around £5k.

Hi Chris how you doing Pal, many years riding bikes, had a big smash a few years ago, thinking of moving a couple of bike projects on and my Chevy Astro van, maybe get back in a Cav. A Calibre would be my goal but understandably they are few and far between having scrapped 2 myself, so a 130 saloon project maybe a consideration, E21YND had a LET conversion, I think throwing a V6 in one maybe nice, so a saloon of any sort could do.

How do the Vectra's drive?  Never had one before but thought about it a few times, might make a good daily alongside the Cavalier and Nova.

The GSI's where like they where on rails, handled superb, also had a Supertouring V6 great motors, when I went to Vectra C I was doing lots of miles for work so went diesel, 2.2dti Sri C was great, the 1.9CDTI was a peice of Sh*t, 3.0CDTi was excellent had a gang of BMW's after that and an Audi

Thanks I’ll give a Vectra B some serious thought!!

dont rule out an Astra "H", less prone to rotting for a start
