Stew Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Looks very 'rangers' to me..... Cavalier Turbo wheels I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff-r Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Bet it's got a red top with the way the front is leaning towards the floor. How cute, reminds me of my first car I suppose on the plus side it's clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 All 3 poor cylinders have probably spent most of their rather battered life trying to escape the engine via the bonnet. Chavaliousiousis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How cute, reminds me of my first car I suppose on the plus side it's clean. +1 I reckon thats got something tasty under the bonnet. Its too subtle (excluding the wheels) to be chav wagon. Unless its got a failside style front bumper that we cant see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Heard of the term sleeper? (again despite the orange wheels ) I still maintain that its got something a bit better than your basic 1.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu350z Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Heard of the term sleeper? (again despite the orange wheels ) I still maintain that its got something a bit better than your basic 1.2 It was no sleeper! Didn't have a zorst too handle the power hike!

Stew Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Here is a true sleeper..... This was owned by a guy I knew very well at the time way back in 2002 (not the one selling, I just found that link) and Dave P was the one timed under 5 second to 60 and a 13.2 1/4 mile. http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/cars-sal ... 4-9-a.html edit - http://www.106rallyeforum.com/forum2008 ... hp?t=67694 Just found the vid that Dave put up! Check out the links to his wee 106 in his sig too. He can drive..... Now THAT is a sleeper Corsa. To this day I think that was one of the outright fastest feeling cars I've EVER been in. I was going to buy it too but was in south of France with work for a couple of months when he ended up selling it to Adam Kindness (those familiar with Time Attack may have heard of his wife Fiona) as he made a good offer. I'd be surprised if the blue one pictured didn't have a 2.0 in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu350z Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I'd be surprised if the blue one pictured didn't have a 2.0 in it. You could be right Stew! It didnt have any of the subtle give aways! But stranger things! An old friend of mine once built a sleeper Nova way back in the early 90's (Oh God I said the N word! ) It started life as a 1.3sr but had the Calibra V6 with a Kent Cam and K&N and Magnex Zorst and Spax top adjustables etc etc etc! Went like sh*t off a shovel! He used to leave everyone gobsmacked when he gave it some beans! Them were the days! God I'm old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just and still am loving the wheels! Exhaust doesn't need to be that big I mean if it had 160bhp that would be a sleeper of sorts as most have sub 100bhp. I hate to say it but 160bhp would be great fun in something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
