Return to the fold

[colin1]

Hi all
I received an invite to the all-new MKO3 site in my mailbox tonight which came as a bit of a surprise, I wasn't sure how they knew about me.
I thought 'why not' and tried to register but the system told me 'that eMail address was already in the database' - hmm, that's how they knew about me..
Unfortunately, I couldn't remember my login name and couldn't cry for help without logging in so re-registered using one of my other machines.

I've been around Cavaliers for a while, playing my part in other Vauxhall-related forums and currently have two stood outside though now in need of a bit of a restoration drive.

Car 1:
94M ecotec SRi hatchback in Flame Red

Car 2:
93K redtop SRi hatchback in Spectral Blue Metallic

I (probably) still remember a thing or two about service, maintenance, repair and the odd gremlin so I'll chip in as and when my sieve-like memory can retrieve an answer.
Anyhoo, thanks for the invite and hopefully I'll bump into one or two names from past adventures on other forums, I'm pretty sure I saw at least a couple that I recognised on my way through the door.

Be nice to mingle with fellow enthusiasts again, looking forward to it
Cheers
Colin

Welcome to the site Colin! Get some pictures of your cav(s) up.

Ha
you don't want that right now, they're not in great shape
The engine's out of the redtop so it's sitting high at the front

Funnily enough, your handle was one of the ones that caught my eye - seen you somewhere before?

Hello Colin. I look forward to seeing some pictures of your Cavaliers in 'The Showroom' section. Do you have some in place from your time with another username? What were you known as on here before 'Colin1'?

Hello and welcome to the site.
Please get some photos up, we are verstile and like cars requiring full restorations to those in show room condition

Small world!
And sure we do - we love to see full restorations going on.
As for my username - there's other sites such as VXon back in the day, VODC and a few others. Currently been on RetroRides alot recently.

Welcome back to the mad house.
We are not here to judge...
Especially not me with the state of mine.

I don't even remember registering prior to last night but I've usually been colin1 wherever I've been
I very much doubt I uploaded any pics - my memory's not that bad

VxON is probably where I remember you from, back when it was called CavWeb

Possibly yes.
