Bob I was talking to Dave ( Big bear ) the other night and to cut a long story short. Did you own a black Cavailer Turbo ( K*** LGU )
which you bought from a nice gentleman in Yate ? If there is such a thing. If so it was me
Seemed a bit of a concidence for it not to be you but stranger things have happened.

Hi, yes indeed, the car ended up fairly heavily modified, hybrid turbo, fuel reg, charge cooler, custom mapped ecu, ran 1.4 bar boost, dropped suspension 60mm with uprated springs and KONI'S, Willwood brakes plus a few more mods, its still going strong at 140,000 but needs a gearbox rebuild and clutch, I sold it about three years ago. Only problem I ever had was the transfer box going, Vauxhall took pity and did me a trade deal with fixed labour, they also replaced the porous head FOC as well ... what nice people.

anyway it was one of the most "fun" cars I had and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Well Well its a small world. Glad you enjoyed the car Bob I remember it well.
Will you be going on the Longleat day out ?
If so I'll see you there.

Phill I haven't ordered it yet cause dealer hasn't phoned me with the information
I might end up using another dealer just to prove a point.
