Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

Well as most of you know, the blue SRi is now sold onto a nice chap from glasgow who promised to look after her, so that left me with the replacement..................a cavalier of course! my dad and bro kindly drove me down to pick her up, all the way down in colchester! a whopping 500odd miles down and the same back......yes over a 1000miles to get a cavalier!

so your probably wondering now what she's like, well I have always wanted a white cavalier so when this came up I was a bit unsure at first but I can't fault it, its such a great car to drive, goes like a cat with a rocket up its arse and still returns 50mpg full vauxhall service history right up to the current mileage, practically every mot from new and a folder full of receipts. since the weather is terrible there will be no scenic shots I am afraid so these will have to do:

xe or eco?

You know you cant get white as shiny as blue, nice car.

Its in need of some badges on the centres, other than that it looks ideal

very nice cav bro,looks simple and standard but no-one knows of the extra performace add ons and hmm yes white can be as shiny as other colours. theres no badges on the centres due to alloys getting a re-done

hehe nice and standard looking is the way I want to keep it, but yes it has a few "performance add ons" up its sleeve

true it wont be as shiny but hell you can make them look so much cleaner, loving the white! fanblades are being re-furbed so once they are done there will be a fresh set of badges going on it

and come on would i ever buy an eco?

Nowt wrong with Ecotecs, i've had mine nearly 5 years, nothing wrong with it.
Nice looking Cav Craig, still like the blue one better though, no offence

Its nice looking. Good to know there are still good ones around for sale.

no offence Anita, iv just ever been a fan of them, but of course you do get good ones as well.

the blue one was to high maintenance to be fair, paint was a nightmare to keep clean! liking the white one better, a shed load quicker, nice and smooth to drive, just loving it! of course I have not long got it so watch this space, there will be a changes

yeah i here what your saying, i think i got the only good engine Vauxhall ever made in the early Ecotecs Even gaz's Vectra's went bang

Dont get me wrong it is lovely, just you know how much of a fan i was of your blue Cavalier.

i actually wanted a white GSi but sadly that won't happen for a while now, can't afford 3 cars

you'd best have that on the club stand next year, it'll break all the dark coloured cavaliers up

very nice .... you think blue was hard to keep clean .....wait till the gritters have been out this winter you will regret it .

I had a white 18 lx sapphire lovely car but it was a pig to keep clean

yeah the blue one was a nice and rare conditioned cavalier but hey ho I made sure to get another clean one, been a fan of white cavalier for a while now and the blue one was just peeing me off

plans are to tint the headlights and indicators (still unsure about this though) re-furb the alloys and get some fresh badges on it, turbo lights and rear panel on the back, some cavalier turbo leather and colour coded vectra handles, rest is spot on in my opinion

true but its been caked with muck this week and it still looks bright when dirty, the blue one use to go dull and naff looking when dirty

do you want a name change now lol

never actually thought about that till now, ach it will jus make me forget names, ill leave it as a long lasting memory for the good old 'marty' or to everyone else the blue SRi

Well, looks right enough, hope it keeps you smiling

Cavvyman_150

why do white cavs look so good???ima

looks braw and nice and bright

I love cav's in white,such a bold colour,nice one.

Nice replacement you get m8.

Keep up the subtle mods on this white one as good as you've done on the blue one (which i loved and...it had the same reg of mine - J ).

I'll work on mine to look so gorgeous as yours white and blue Cav's.

Cheers

Right totally confused! I must have missed something here but isn't an SRi an SRi? What's done to it...

eh?

I'm just a bit lost with the rename mallarky... nothing new there

Ok guys, let me explain, what i meant with that post is that i wish Cavyman130's SRI replacement to have the good look of the previous one (specially with those smart touches).

Sorry about the confusion
