It's hard to see a lot of difference in these pictures apart from the obvious.
This car was at the PVS the weekend.

On a forum ages ago, someone traveled all the way to ierland to pick up a mint SRi and brought it bake to england, and spent some time putting her back to standard. Was just wondering if it was you thats all.

Was this on the VODC stand? I left a card with the chap in the Carlton, but didn't catch up with you.

Lovely car, there's a couple of pictures in the PV show report in next month's Total Vauxhall.

Cheers

Yes I am looking to join a friendly club for next year as I am not happy with the club I am with a moment, they are a little bitchy since I brought this Cav and some in my Midlands area have no respect for it as they are not true enthusiast in my mind, they just like causing trouble. I am a true enthusiast who loves cars and never diss peoples cars or them, I hate people who are always trying to out do people all the time and those who get jealous of what you have, because you have what you can afford in my eyes, as you have what you have and that’s it really, any way that’s enough about my old club. I am a really a totally sound family guy. :)

I think I speak for all when I say you and your cav are MORE than welcome to any club event, that, as stated before and elsewhere, is blindingly clean... is it as clean underneath as on top?
