Cavcraft Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Any value in having an 'automotive idot of the week' nomination? If so I'm going to vote for this berk... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1860759.htm I actually like the car, not too overdone, nice colour and arguably the best alloy wheels ever made. But read the advert text Who could possibly be 'serious' when faced with type like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formula Autos Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Have you noticed in the ad that his location has been given as 'West Midlands'? I suspect the only reading material available to them as a child was Slade album covers - hence the spelin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a cheap car if only for the engine.Yeah, only C20LET cars had the F28's, this had the higher geared F25. I just bought a V6 engine for 200 quid which is really cheap, this was a bargain.

vicsmith Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 That Calibra seems to have gone for weigh in money due to a spider being there. I wish I`d known about it, a cheap Calibra PLUS a nice big spider to take home and get up to mischief with - offering it to grandma in a crisp packet, putting it in dad`s coat pocket so it goes onto him next time he puts it on, things like that.
