Nice Cav spotting from Down Under! Interesting to note the rear wing with integrated brake light on the 'shonky' SRi. You don't see too many of those.

Good snapping. Most of them looked like they've been entered for a rally... Nice to see yet another type of badge, Holden, on the car that we all famously know. They seem to like their 4 door sedans there as well, not one Vectra hatchback.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

As I was leaving Brooklands, heading towards the A3, I saw and waved to a Cesaro (possibly) - it was in that blue - Caribbean Blue ?

No photo as I was driving, but heading East on the M3 I was overtaken by a red 4x4 towing a sail boat - reg was RJB 150? I think. Looked pretty clean.

That does look quite nice. Are those touring alloys? Like the BTCC era ones?

Closer to Laguna touring alloys than anything the BTCC Cav's wore. They remind me of TSWs but not sure what they actually are.

Wow that's a tidy looking example. Let's hope it falls into the hands of a forum member!

Looks fantastic, dressed tyres and all...……
I hope with that level of detail, fixing the aerial is top of the list now though :scratch

It's an LS so it has a manual areal. It's not broken, the owner just forgot to push it down! :lol:

Spotted in Battle, East Sussex:

This one has been there for years.
It was once well cared for; I remember when it used to be in almost showroom condition.
Looks like it's been a bit neglected of late.

Real shame... I would be tempted to ask if it was for sale.
