    That's a Vauxhall Cavalier. I had the Turbo 4x4. Wish I still had it. What really surprises me is that the cars we had back in the day are so much smaller than you remember them. This was a big car in its day. I seen a MK1 Granada parked up down town a few years back and a modern Ford focus was next to it and was dwarfing the granada. The Cavvy was a great car especially with the red top engine ones but they were never really a looker. Thanks for sharing.

    • @martint1699
      @martint1699 Год назад

      You really should have kept it... The prices for a good, clean and running 4x4 turbo went through the roof and soon they will be collector's cars. 90's Cavaliers (Vectras) are a rare sight on Bulgarian roads these days. Having the 4x4 turbo means you already won at life and now you're doing all of the side quests 😂

    • @Teribus13
      @Teribus13 3 года назад

      Grandland X has to be the worst "car" I've ever driven. My wife had one as a courtesy car a couple of years ago, and it's the only thing I have driven that actually made me dislike driving! Horrible suspension on it, it bounced all over the road. It nosedived with even light brake application. The steering lacked any feel whatsoever, it was like the steering wheel wasn't connected to the wheels. It wasn't even very practical, the boot lip is very high off the ground which is bad for heavy loads, and the boot wasn't that big anyway.

      Personally I love the old Vauxhalls/Opels from the 80's to the early 2000's. They're unpretentious, honest, work horses. No fancy gadgets or complicated electronics. Simple, affordable transport for the masses. It's only now, with the end of internal combustion engines on the horizon, that I'm beginning to really appreciate them.

    One of my best friends has three of these here in England. The oldest he bought back in 1994 brand new and still has it. Really cheap to maintain and run and drives beautifully, and a very practical car. We used to cram a lot of our music gear in and go gigging with it. He currently drives a 1.8L petrol on an M plate (1995). He also has a nice old Jaguar Sovereign V6 circa 1992 I think, which he took as payment for doing a job on another car.
