Managed to dig out some old pics from my first car....the Cavalier

Started life as a 1.6 GL hatchback, and after a huge (and expensive) transformation became a 2.0 16v 163hp Redtop powered nutbox

Old boy I sold it to wrote it off in 6 months

This is my current car - 2.2 16V astra SRI

Crappy handbrake?

Don't see how the manual people can use the handbrake to hold the car, it's so bad!

I pull it up and it... holds the car?

phatboy, why have you ruined that Astra?

At least there's no Lexus lights...

ruined.....how so

its standard apart from Irmscher rear lights (tasteful...and NOT lexus lights) they are marmite is guess though, i just think they suit the colour of the car.

Can remember if I'd posted the updated pictures so....

Not far off 300BHP with around 20PSI of boost.

Get that exhaust straight, and it will look so much better.

Don't usually do car photo's isn't really my thing , but i was out in the country side and liked the look of my car on the side of the road with the tree on the other side.

Have a trendy pic

What's with the half finished Group-B rally look arse on the MR2? Last time I saw lights like that were on a 1970's Abbey Sprint.

God knows, was how I bought it, the previous owner did some strange stuff to it for reasons unknown. I'll get round to putting a normal rear end on it eventually, just been trying to get it ready for MOT first.
