Slightly off topic (sorry) but do you have any more info on your two old Cavaliers?  Year model etc?  Having a Cav myself, just interested.  Mine is a M reg CDX.  Everything works, including the Air Con. 132K on the original clutch.  Still runs and drives beautifully.

No worries.  Cavalier number 1 is a 1984 1.6GL saloon in silver green, last of the first version of the Mk2 (if that makes sense) on an A-plate.  I bought this from the second owner (the father-in-law of the first owner) back in March, the old boy is 97 and his daughter thought it was time for him to hang up his driving gloves!  115k miles, good solid condition too - needs a good polish, but the only rust was in the nearside front wing.  I say 'was' because I have replaced it with a new one, just needs a bit of fettling to fit perfectly (pattern part!) and then spraying.



Cavalier number 2 is a 1993 1.6LS hatchback, bought cheap (like sub-£60 cheap!) from eBay because the fella had listed it in 'Parts and workshop manuals'...with 10 months' MOT and 4 months' tax!  This will be getting a damn good clean, a set of wheeltrims fitted (not Halfrauds jobs!), a full service and then probably into the Freeads to help pay for more Omega fettling...



Paintwork is flatter than a witches' chest and it needs napalming inside to get rid of the stains.  Drives nice but idles high - needs the breathers clearing I think!

No more Cavaliers for me, or any other cars for the moment for that matter...no more space!

Bryan - I think it's this Thursday (10th) at 6pm - I'm sure "ians" will confirm!

Thanks for the update - Cavalier number 1 sounds particularly interesting and, these days, quite rare.  Good luck with them.  Having two cars myself, I know all about the lack of space!!!

I am up to six cars at the moment, although the Saab is a company car, the Granada is a running resto, and my Mazda 323 is being loaned to someone else.  The rest are Vauxhalls!  Although the Mk3 Cav nearly was no more earlier, as the rocker gasket went in spectacular fashion and dripped hot oil onto the manifold - lots of smoke and a couple of tiny flames  :o

Guess I'll be off to my local dealer on Tuesday for a new one, then  ::)

Ian - going to have to cancel, as I now need to get my Granada to the 'fettling man' - it's taken 3 months to set this up, so I will have to pass on a Max fry-up for now.  Count me in if there's a reschedule though.

I am not sure who was planning to come tonight but if it was just Richard , Chris and me, then maybe we should postpone a bit.
How about Monday evening?

Hi guys,

Sorry for lack of response, been really busy these last few days..

I agreee Ian, reschedule is in order - will please my Mrs anyhow ;)

Thanks for the offer Richard, be easier for me to leave from work in my car anyhow to be honest - I wouldn't want to leave it up here as the security types aren't up too much..

So, which day shall we arrange for now?

Cheers,

Chris.

Someone want to suggest a time then?  

I prefer Mon or Thurs evenings or possibly Saturday morning.

(I'm away for the rest of this week though)

Cheers
