  • We made it! We loaded the Vauxhall Cavalier Chassis 1 British Touring Car on to the trailer and got ourselves to Silverstone Circuit. We arrived on the Friday, qualifying and race 1 was on the Saturday and Race 2 was on the Sunday! There was some hiccups on the way that you can see for yourselves, but overall, for a car that has not raced in a good while, it was a successful weekend of racing and we are looking forward to the next event on 28th May at Oulton Park! Thank you again Jim, for allowing us to be a part of such an awesome story!

    Love the close up look of the cars, sad to say I wanted to see more of the Ford in the background, Mondeo in race colours and the Volvo estate

    Loved this era of BTCC, I grew up watching the RS500 Cosworths, and e30 M3's. Then the 1990s brought these screaming beasts. 300bhp of NA power. I personally think the early Cavalier with the BBS split rims always looked the best. Fab video.

    I’ve had loads of cavaliers,great cars,mk2 and mk3,gl’s cd’s,Sri’s cdx models and most where all ex company cars,always found the 8v engines bullet proof(if serviced regular).

  • @WestfieldFreshAir
    @WestfieldFreshAir Před 2 lety

    I so miss that era of touring cars. It was brilliant. The 300bhp Swindon got from the XE I think hasn't been bettered still after all these years, and the XE still very much holds its own against so many newer engines.

    Great video. You're such a lucky guy lol. Loved the incar footage, The whine of the gearbox and induction noise. Jim drove it well. It wouldnt be a vauxhall without a few little issue's 😂. Glad you got them fixed and put a crackin time in. Looking forward to the next video already.

    Love these old Cavaliers. I had a 92 GSI 4x4. Great car but always thought it could do with more grunt. Then the Turbo 4x4 appeared. Bought a 94 one with 6000 miles on it. 1st owner bought it to tow a caravan but had never ever used 6th gear. 80mph on the motorway in 5th with a 6 berth caravan on the back. Didn't need 6th he said. No shit !!Absolute stonker of a car. Kept it for 6 years then traded it in for a 99 Vectra Gsi V6 2.5. Big mistake. Dog of a car. Sounded great but not a patch on the Turbo. Eventually ended up with a Monaro. What a car that was. But that's a nother story.

    Great to hear a feild of those engines at flat chat again. When did they change to the sequential shifter behind the steering wheel? Always looked a bit awkward to use.

    Great video but I’ve got to ask… what are you editing out? I think about half a dozen micro cuts per 5 seconds of dialogue.

    • @TwinEngineCorsa
      @TwinEngineCorsa  Před 2 lety

      The editing is done by my son. I think the micro cuts are to stop me “errm” “arrr” “wellll” to make the dialogue flow alittle better.

      Agree with the women part but my VX is faultless, unlike the BMW i traded in for it.
      Unltimately, all manufacturers have faults with there cars.
