Taken note of a Mk3 Cavalier on your travels? We'd love to hear about it!

White cav flashed me, A505 between Royston and Cambridge

Post by humbucker »

About 5:45 this evening, I was heading towards Cambridge on the A505 away from Royston in my Turbo and what looked like a white facelift hatch with a GSi grille and black boot panel came by the other way, driver gave me the thumbs up and flashed his lights! Looked very much like PSL Paul's car, although wasn't Paul behind the wheel. Perhaps he's sold the car after all?! Or was Vauxhallnutter Mark taking it for a spin?! Dunno, either way it was quite a surprise and it didn't really register until the cars had passed one another. It would be good to know who it was, I'll keep my eyes peeled next time I pass that way at that time of the evening!

Didn't see our mysterious friend last night, but a beaten up old Cav was there in its place so I flashed my lights at him to make up for it. The driver looked quite confused hahaha!

Ah, excellent! Nice to put a username to a car (so the saying goes!). Whereabouts are you located? Ely? Get your location in your profile, be useful when arranging a local meet! Are you down Royston way often? There's a few tidy motors that way, two Sierra Cosworths that I see fairly regularly.

I was only down there looking for a cash machine, which I found in Melbourne Co-op...

I live in Cambridge, on the M11 near the A603 :)

I'll keep my eyes peeled as I pass that way twice a day two or three times a week :)
