I'm thinking, matt black bonnet, cut springs and vauxhall 14 steels (which are a wider wheel for a start...)  note purposefully lined up licence plate!  do not note fact it hasn't cooled for 3 hours due to driving 50 miles home without checking oil level (DRY)  |

aaaarrrrggghhhh its the lxi one! truly underpowered! good luck Just a bit, my Lxi was a fair bit slower than my 1991 LS carb - and that was an estate! ;D And are you serious about costing alot to go through an MOT? I never had a problem with either of mine, needing no work whatsoever. Only car's I've had that have done that!  |
