This calls for a drink!



I kind of liked the photo on that page. I know parking is kind of tight in Europe, but this is ridiculous!

Yeah it kinda does, the picture looks like it's been stretched vertically to add emphasis - makes the car look like an MPV. Do you guys have calibras over there?

Nope. The only Opels I've seen over here are those 70s vette look alike GTs.

Ha! Thanks for posting that! I've only ever seen one opel gt and I didn't have a clue what it was till I looked up pics just there. It's sitting up in a showroom near my grandparents house and it's been doing my head in not knowing what car it was, I assumed it was something like a lancia!

i've seen a few gt's, a few mantas, but nothing out of the 70s (when they were sold as buicks here... go figure), until recently with the cadillac catera (opel omega), and now saturn aura/sky

opel gt's are sweet. there is one in the junkyard in actually decent condition (considering...) that would be sweet for a rotary...
