February 2, 201115 yr comment_145899 Hi guysMy names Dave and i'm from Hampshire. I currently drive a 2006 Vectra C and have been looking for a MK2 cabriolet to mess around with. No such luck yet as all the ones i've seen online are too far away, or require too much work My first ever car was a China Blue 1.3L Saloon on a Y. Recently been feeling nostalgic and always wanted a cabriolet hence my reason for joining this fine looking club and hopefully owning a MK2 (again) in the not too distant future. ;DDave Report

February 2, 201115 yr comment_145923 To be honest I dont have a clue, its a bit of a knee jerk reaction. But if you are interested you can PM me so we dont start a 'whats it worth' conversation on here. View the competition first and see how bad it gets. Im in no hurry. Report

February 5, 201115 yr comment_146075 Welcome to the site mate.I personally wouldn't write off Marks car because of the distance, he has had it for years and the care that has been taken with it is well documented on this site. What would Gordon do? Report
February 5, 201115 yr comment_146077 I'll second that!! a well cared for cabby with known history and owner is well worth a few extra miles and besides it makes for a longer drive home to enjoy it...get it bought man!! Report
