Title: Cadillac Catera Owners Chicago Meet FEB 20th PICS.
Post by: CateraMV6 on 21 February 2010, 06:24:17: Quite a good turn out considering how many people form the area hang out on this forum.

We had two local guys and two from out of town...

Here are some of the pictures from the meet.
The weather decided to be crappy but regardless of that we still had a lot of fun!

Next meet will be in warmer weather, and possibly in the Michigan Area.

Pictures.

Post by: Gaffers on 21 February 2010, 06:47:00: Ah, Chicago. One of my favourite US cities. I am there a lot visiting friends or passing through on my way somewhere. Cars are looking good :y
Title: Re: Cadillac Catera Owners Chicago Meet FEB 20th PICS.
Post by: CateraMV6 on 21 February 2010, 06:56:27: It is without a doubt a very beautiful city, probably my favorite of them all...

The day before was sunny and 45F, and today was just a mess.... started off with a dusting of snow, which of course made the roads wet, and so the cars were just dirty from driving them to the meet.

2 of the cars drove some 160mi to get there.

I hope in the summer we can have a bigger meet, and of course the summer arsenal of parts will be up on the cars so we will be in good shape.

Post by: Omegadoha, Desert Member on 21 February 2010, 07:50:43: Whats happened to your front spoiler? :o I'm sure you had one.
Title: Re: Cadillac Catera Owners Chicago Meet FEB 20th PICS.
Post by: Jim on 21 February 2010, 08:27:32: Great Looking Pictures 8-)

I think you should fit a Vauxhall Grill to a catera, I don't think there will be many of them in the US
Title: Re: Cadillac Catera Owners Chicago Meet FEB 20th PICS.
Post by: CateraMV6 on 21 February 2010, 08:54:04: Vauxhall or Opels both are rare so that will work.

I think americans may know Opel a bit more due to the recent news around GM...

As far as my front lip goes, I took it off during teh winter to keep the nasty pitting from rocks, and to eliminate the chance of breaking it on some snow covered roads...

We get 6-12" of snow sometimes and the car is only 4" tall.

Post by: pembroke on 21 February 2010, 08:56:17: Nice pictures, shame about the weather. My guess is that at least two of them had this in their boot..
(or something similar) ;D

Post by: CateraMV6 on 23 February 2010, 02:57:29: I keep looking at these pictures and I think my car looks real fat in most of them...

Its the silver catera with the unusual spoiler and BBS like wheels.

I have +50 H&R Spacer set on the rear end.

This summer my summer wheels will get the 9.5" Treatment with 275mm tires.

I saw just one Catera when I was in California in 2008 and shocked when I saw the car like Omega since I was not aware of Catera...
I would like to be there with you some day on a USA visit when I can get closer to Chicago hopefully...

Post by: Lesopc on 02 April 2011, 16:09:14: These cars look soooooo handsome whether Opel,Vauxhall or Cadillac and with a Chicago backdrop too, wow, to have not taken photos would have been a missed oppurtunity. As for the weather, it may have been cold but it A. added character and B. proves how these cars can cope with almost anything.
