A rare spot in the UK

[sayerbloke]

On the way home from work today I spotted a Saturn Sky

One of these for those of you who haven't seen one:

And it was definitely a red-square Saturn badge and not the Opel badge of an Opel GT. There were rumours they were going to sell it here, but I guess they canned that. Such a pity, cos they're one of my favourite new cars on sale today.

Nice spot!

I think you can buy them from specialist importers or I suppose you could always import one and then put it thorugh an SVA. Good looking cars aren't they?

[sayerbloke]

Sure are

Road&Track and so on gave them pretty good reviews when they first came out.

I've seen an advert for one that was already over here once... Out of my price range! Besides, that sort of money would buy you a decent, late model-year C5 Corvette. I know they're not exactly usually competitors, but still

C5 would have to be a better bet wouldn't it. Still a nice car though. How's the Camaro going?

Agreed on both counts.

The Camaro is going well, thanks. I still generally prefer a manual gearbox to an automatic, but you live and learn. I noticed it was getting through coolant quicker than it should have been, which turned out to be a leak from the water pump, so I had that replaced. Phoned up the spares place in Wymondham and he had one on the shelf so sourcing that wasn't a problem

So, yeah, I'm enjoying it. How's yours doing these days?

Yeah its good. Just had a bit of work done (new front anti roll bar drop links and rear suspension bushes) and its going really well. But, after four years I am on the look out for a new car... not many of what I am looking for around though so we will see.
