does anyone remember the Cavalier that was done up as the general Lee and was on Top gear briefly... well that lives down my mums road!

I might have to borrow the real one Dangerous and pull up outside and let her rip!

Could be similar to when you rolled up to a meet in the Reyland cars, and the 'Reyland Fiesta' was there

I drove this car to the MOT station and expected it to drive shite but other than the brakes being less than adequate it drives very nicely.

The horns

Top car, would sell a lung for one of those cars, 10mpg is worth the sheer giggle factor alone,

mind, you need to weld up the doors, and do hand brake turns for no reason, drift along muddy lanes and outrun the police 1.7td astras by jumping over embankments and through hedges
