Inevitable?
Inevitable?
No prizes for guessing who`s bought another BX today! 1989 GTi manual. Couldn`t resist it and first impressions are aside from a little work it`ll be a very nice car. Formerly owned by Andy (Artic Steel) and now residing at Cavmad Towers.
Going to try and get the boot welded asap, then I may have a bash at the heater control and exhaust and some remedial tidying before I decide which to keep out of the Calibra or the GTi.

As you love both marques, will the chosen one be the one that has the higher resale value or the one which is the most personal fun?cavmad wrote: some remedial tidying before I decide which to keep out of the Calibra or the GTi.

Re: Inevitable?
The fun factor I think. The Cally means two doors so it`s a pain getting the kids in and out, no centre rear seat belt means less passengers, being 6 foot 3 I keep hitting my head on the roof, visibility is pretty lame and it has a fondness for fuel. You know what though? I love it. It`s so easy to drive, everything feels like it`s been designed for me (except my height issues of course) and the power is controllable plus it`s a Vauxhall so reliability and parts will never be a problem.Way2go wrote:As you love both marques, will the chosen one be the one that has the higher resale value or the one which is the most personal fun?cavmad wrote: some remedial tidying before I decide which to keep out of the Calibra or the GTi.
The GTi I`m going to have to drive around a bit to get used to, it doe seem pretty quick to be fair but I`ve not opened it up enough to compare to the Cally.
