You have a very,very well looked after motor there,
Small world when it comes to the Griffin brand.

Really is a small world... My other car is a Cavalier Turbo too! Mine is Diamond Black and she's been sitting in the garage for the past four years or so.

Ha! Fair enough, hopefully the OP doesn't mind...

Nothing wrong there but had a cavalier gsi myself about 15-17 years ago, it was a rubbish car, did not go right round corners ! Had to change the shocks, springs and wheels and tyres- sadly no pictures as that time there were no phone cameras !

We travelled to Amsterdam in a cavalier gsi 4x4 once, good times
Even had a drugs dog in the boot on the return lol. (apparently we looked dodgy)
Was a cracking car but sadly not a turbo.
Always loved cavalier turbos with the squared off, round look (does that make sense?)
And of course calibra turbos.
It's all about the 5 wheel bolts.... A proper spotters car.
Probably the last good vauxhalls before they went poo

 

[mike price]

very nice tony, you selling it??

 

[Turbo Tony]

Thanks Mike. Yours too!

Funnily enough, I've been trying to convince myself to sell her for years but I just can't quite bring myself to let go of a car I've loved for 17 years! It'll be 18 years of ownership in April.

 

[Bugeye_bob]

I want Mike`s if he buys yours lol

just to sound like a Parrot, but do you do the VBOA meet as well Tony ?

 

[Turbo Tony]

No, I don't tend to go to meets at all... I'm not that social!

Many moons ago, I used to go to some car audio meets but that was about it.

you should pop along, its moved from Billing this year, Mr Crook of LMF fame is organising it, they come from around the world, and the array of vehicles is just spectacular.

 

[mike price]

Ok Tony but if you ever consider selling I'd love to have a black one next to the white one.

 

[Turbo Tony]

That's just plain greedy!

OK, if I ever muster the courage, I'll let you know.

 

[mike price]

lol, i like to cherish the few we have,

please let me know thank you tony

 

[Turbo Tony]

Will do Mike... Although you'd have to promise not to modify her... or let me see her again... or post pictures.

... Come to think of it, just don't drive her.

 

[mike price]

it will remain standard just preserve, the white one only has alloys different and is unmodified apart from them.

I bought a Cav GSI 2000 4X4 from the local VX main dealer, back in 1992, it was about 9 months old and I fell in love with it! Ran it until I replaced it with a brand new factory order (personally imported it) VW Passat 4Motion in late May 2000 - it was a shock driving the Passat as you felt seated up on top of it when compared with being part of the GSI 4X4, but it was okay, moving on to my 2011 S4 about 3 years ago meant being back in a better car again! I did fit the rear interior lights from the Turbo into the GSI 4X4 - if that counts for anything?
