Don't see many of them about any more. 10 years ago or not even that, the place was littered with them!

Calibra;
Looked great, went well (in red top 16v or turbo guise) drove like a cavalier (

Externally or internally?... Or both?

Internally. Coolant got into the oil. No wait, that's wrong... Oil got into the coolant. I think.

Nope, more that I got engaged and wanted the bird in with me instead so we bought him out and he bought his own place! (then I had to buy the bird out a bit when we split up, so I've bought my own house 3 drokking times now

)
