Re: Seeing double
i had it once with a mk2 jetta, identical car, keys got me in but wouldnt start the thing.after 5 mins of waggling, trying different keys, i got out and looked at the reg,noly to find a couple staring at me, cos they thought i was taking it.
i sheepishly had to explain that i had the wrong car.

Re: this is the beginning of a beatiful relationship!!
Well I hope you all have sympathy for me when I go there (Blackpool) one evening this week (probably Thursday Night).

derivatives.
why did vauxhall bring out the mk3 cavalier in sri models and also in gsi models? i know they didnt do a gte,i take it that the gsi is the range topper, my assumption is that the gsi was ecotec'd whilst the sri was an 8v,was the difference, apart from trim, something like a cam, from the 2.0 gls. so...

insurance question for the manc guys.
whats it like pricewise to insure a 2.0 cav in the manchester area? just that i remember in the 90's in manchester that they were the twocers car of choice, and if you had an m12 postcode like i did back then, not to even attempt to get a price.
theyn should come under a classic scheme now, surely?
