sorry to see you selling Martin. No more FEs? Like me with no FDs! What else is for the chop from the fleet?
If anyones interested I can vouch for Martin's FE being a good 'un. Well worth a look.

Don't like stretched tyres, very low profile tyres & I think a car CAN be too low. Perhaps I'm odd.

" Green Godess " - I like it! Thinking of going to spares day but not 100% yet. Alistair, the end of an era eh? Thing is, I have far too many (again) so somethings gotta go. Thing with the FE is it sits in no mans land with me. i.e. not as interesting as the older stuff and not as practical as the newer, if you see what I mean. Next for the chop? probably the '84 Caddy. And that's real Caddy - not a small german pick-up. ;D

Nah, just spent a small fortune on the LSC (stainless exhaust, new springs, tyres...) Okay, a large fortune.
Yup Caddy has LPG. Gives an equivalent return of between 26-40 (min-max) mpg depending on journey type and the various fuel prices etc.

I'm not sure how far from sensible an LPG '84 Cadillac is for me as a daily. Its a nice one though isn't it? Buzz me an email with how much you're looking to get for it and I'll have a think.

A modern car would be handy for the wife before next winter. Wasn't planning on one THIS much before winter though! I'm in Upper Tean, no where near Stoke!

trouble is, the reason for sale is too many cars! cash would take up much less room than a Cavalier!

See what i can do cash wise mate, but rethink on the cav offer, its a good reliable motor with FULL mot (something i don't need anymore!) and not looking for much for it really, want a hardcore vaux for the summer.......................

Go on. Help a fellow Vauxhall man fulfill his dreams. Take his Cavalier. Get that Victor saved. At least he wont banger race it.

Ouch - stop twisting my arm it hurts!
But the Victor has nearly full test too! And fully comp ins costs £88, tax £0. ;D Can the Cavalier beat that?

Martin you said you needed space and less cars to maintain, taking the red chav, no matter how nice it is is against these aims?

the cav won't need maintaining for a long while and its ok to park in the street to save space? can pm you full spec if you like?

Go on then. We'll have to be talking 'top book' for Victor & 'bottom book' for Cavalier though if you know what I mean.
I'd be more interested if the Cavalier had a tow bar...
