Opel Kadett in Pimp my ride

[azopelnut]

Anyone see the Pimp My Ride episode with the Opel Kadett convertible? (probably a Kadett C?) I had a fellow employee DVR it.

[azopelnut]

It's newer than a "C". Same body style as the Pontiac Lemans circa 89-91
BTW
Anyone ever drop the turbo 2.0 liter GM engine into one of those...that would be FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there somewhere where you can get the file hosted for others to download? I've heard of such sites but don't know any specific ones. Man! i gotta get cable tv!

I saw that one I think. Is it one of the international shows with Xzibit? I used to record every episode of Pimp My Ride until they got ridiculous on the monitors - "this week, we cram 50 monitors into a Ford Escort so that Amy can watch her own music videos while driving..."

Youtube.com, although they pull copyrighted material once they are aware of it. TiVo allows you to move content to your PC where you can then burn it to DVD. They also just released a new software upgrade that allows you to watch recordings on your video iPod.

It was a Kadett E. It was a cabrio, which is rather rare even in Europe, not too many made. I was hoping they'd do something really cool with the car but it was typical 'pimpiness'.

Accoding to Wikipedia, it was episode 6 of the first season of Pimp my Ride International (2006), and the owner's name was Carolin.

OK thanks.

They aren't that rare. I know a few people who have E Cabrios. Here they come with a 1.8l

How many do you want?????

They aren't rare at all over here in the netherlands, you might even buy one over here in pretty good shape for about 500 Euro's (excl transport etc)

You can then even opt for a 1.6/1.8 or even a 2.0 GSI 16V

Dat kan wel waar zijn voor de 'C' en lateren modelen, maar waarschijnlijk niet voor de 'A' en 'B' modelen . . . de enigen die hier ooit importeerd waren - 1964-1972.

That may certainly be true for the 'C' and later models, but probably not for the 'A' and 'B' models . . . the only ones that were ever imported here - 1964-1972.

Zien we jou ook al hier??? Welkom, stel je even voor op de geschikte plek nl, Introductions, en onder het hoofd stuk Opel Clubs hebben wij Hollanders onze eigen kleine plekje om te ruzien

I have one of these Kadett Cabrio's. It's my second one actually. It's a 2.0 8v GSI model. It is probably one of only a hand full left in Ireland.

This is mine on a road in Co. Kerry. Looks like it's in a river.



I saw that Pimp my Ride and I did get exited at first but I knew they'd ruin the car cause in my opinion, they ruin most of the cars. One thing I did think was cool was the translucent roof. What an idea. I'd say you'd get sick if it though. No insulation in it either.
