Mick GR ::aaah: If it was a toss-up between the Cally from me siggy or a FRST what would it be (by the way, we are talking one seriously sorted Fezzy, in the same league as Sunny's).
standard FRST would be good enough for me

llama, you cannot be serious , oh the shame.
We have a 500bhp, leather lined super-coupe that can pass 200mph with ease and rival superbike acceleration top-end against a standard 138bhp (is that right? ) Fezzy (no diss to the Fezzy's, I love them, driven Evilfranky's before and they are immense fun).
It isn't all big power and top speed numbers either, this baby has Porsche 911 Turbo seats, 911 Turbo bakes, a set of gorgeous 19" BBS Leemans, and one of the prettiest rears ever to adorn a Cally.

Hey, they are nice cars are Calibra's, but that's only one model outta many that Vauxhall produce, i'm not a huge fan of the others, Tho Vectra SRi's look pretty nice.
This ones looks sweet tho
Just outta interest Mick, are they covers over ur headlights in your sig? I think that's the only thing that lets the look of ur car down IMO. I'm not a fan of light covers on any car mind.

Lol, it ain't my car mate, (sadly it'll never be anyone elses, just learnt that the owner sold it to some guy over in Europe for a good price...however the new owner immediately stripped the car and sold it for parts ).
Anyway, back to your point mate, they are carbon fibre surrounds which actually look damn good up close, I'll admit though, they are an aquired taste....I quite like 'em.

Me likes!
I like some Corsas, love the new VX220 Turbo, like Vectra's, dnt mind Cav GSi's, would really like an Astra Gsi, and I think some Nova's are cool.
But then again I'm very broadminded about cars, I can see why they were designed, and I can see the appeal of every little feature. I look closer than most, and don't just jump to a conclusion of hating things

Aye, it's a damn shame, the guy had spent around 50 grand on it if I remember correctly, having it gradually tuned over many years by his own personal tuner, the car was solid, no niggles, 100% reliable, utilising many parts from well known perfromance car makers such as Porsche.
He had started doing high speed runs in Germany on the autobahns with a full video shoot to go with it (the video is available on the net somewhere, might have a look for it later), and the car was cracking 200mph easily (at the time the car was only producing 400bhp, not long after it was further tuned to produce 500bhp, so god knows what speed it was capable of then).
The only reason I can think of as to why it was stripped was the buyer probably thought he could make a profit on how much he payed for it. Damn shame though, he probably doesn't realise how special the car he had was, or how much work had went into it.
