And it looks like that's not the first Vauxhall to have worn that plate

I'm guessing that Calibra is a Rieger body kit, they did similar for other cars, mk2 Scirocco is one I remember, and I'm probably in a minority, but I like them. 
They were expensive kits.

We had a staff day trip to Beijing last year and had a chat with Xi Jinping, he's a right laugh, and a massive shiter - He's got a Speke built TR7 which he chose specifically on the strength of union involvement in the production process. He personally ensured we're whitelisted over there. Top Lad.

Got me a nice radiogram for £7 at the car boot this morning 

Which is good as I have many cd's but nothing to play them on. Has its remote too

[Timewaster]

Good find but not a radiogram in my book.

A radiogram is like a sideboard in your grans house.

Don't know if anyone else watches these two guys, but have a listen to the bell ends he encounters when selling a £300 motor...

I think it could look more aggressive at the front. 

And i amused by big rear wheels on a fwd car.

You see, I'm obviously a bit more innocent than I look. 

To me, wizz / whizz is urine. E.g. 'I'm off for a wizz'

Those wide and off set rear wheels must put tremendous strain on the tiny taper bearings in the rear hubs.

Perhaps they keep spares in the glove box if going on a long trip.

Ultra Box. Ohhh, Fiamma.

[Cavcraft]

On the M53 earlier heading towards Liverpool and overtook three foreign registered cars on what seems like some sort of banger rally. The back one was a Porsche convertible (possibly a Beetle with a kit on it), the middle one I can't remember, but in front was a lowered brown Volvo 240 saloon with 'YER WEE PRICK' in big capital letters on the back. Tooted the horn and waved, got the same in return.

I've been watching some of this fella. Somehow he's managed to get himself a massive house full of luxury cars just by appearing on YouTube.

Ian Hubnut is either missing a trick or has a very comfortable bank balance....

He and his family are wealthy individuals from owning a chain of food stores.

Hoovie also has something like a million subscribers, Mr_Wobbler has considerably less*

It’s a Rieger F40 kit by the looks of it. I remember they used to do one for the Mk4 Escort too

The track at the rear was much wider as well. A lot of work looks to have gone in to it.

I've purposely not looked at any of his you tube footage, after he wanted money for a hub nut sticker.  Am I missing out? 

Look I'm not paying to give free advertising, and thus turn him into a multimillionaire. **

Now if he was Fuzz Townsend, then I'd not think twice. 

**That said I paid for a number of autoshite stickers. But then I'm  advertising a way of life.
