1987 Opel Manta GT/E 2.0 Injection.

I saw one in The Professionals last week so that makes it cool (which in turn, makes me cool) ;)
If that wasn't enough it's Rear Wheel Drive too.

You DO know what reputation Opel Mantas (and it's drivers) have in Germany, right ?

Rally drivers in training? :p

The rear looks nice, reminds me of an 80's Porsche, but what were they thinking when they designed that frontend? :ick:

:nod: I agree, they're so...plain. Quite a few states are guilty of that as well though, unless you want to pay extra.

Yeah. Three years ago a nice solid Ae86 could be had for £2,000.
No chance of that now.

Mantas are quite similar tho. Saloon based with a decent chassis  and some Rally heritage.

*drool drool drool* Oops. Er...hmm ... *covers windscreen only to have the mantle blown away by the wind*

This is not a signature.
You did not see this.
It was all a dream.
You will not tell anyone about this.

Now go and read this signature again.

So, you actually bothered to scroll down, eh? If you're that bored, you might as well take a look at the links above.

Emissions are so more lax in the UK from what I've read. They're not strict like NY/NJ/CA. I've even heard of people able to legally use straight pipes in place of catalytic converters... :o

Legally so long as no one finds out. They have to keep 'em and put 'em back on come test time.
Uk doesn't quite have the same smog issues as the big US citys tho
