Finally pulled my finger out and got a Cavvy Turbo a few days ago, so thought I should say hi!
Badly wanted one in my younger days
but never had enough cash.
Had a GSI 4x4 once, long time ago, but got bitten by the transfer box after 3 months. Then it was robbed from garage I bought it from that was fixing it. Suspicious...?
Anyway, got there in the end, and here she is, all safely tucked up out the rain:

And with her grand-daughter:

The Vectra's for every day, the Cav's for fun! And spending.
Hmm... Vectra makes the Cav look small...
Putting her on my mate's rolling road on Tuesday, see how many horses broke free over the years.
Great to be here!

Pretty much standard, far as I know. Been dropped about 30mm all round, 4WD locked and accumulator + control board removed, dump valve (recirc blocked off), scorpion back box and a top end rebuild.
Most of the kit still seems to work. Aircon removed by a previous owner and the back windows stick a bit, some dash illumination not working, but fingers crossed so far those are the only faults I've noticed. Pretty good for 18 yrs old.
