I can remember for about the first 2 weeks of owning my first one i drove about dumping my dump valve everywhere i thought it was the bees knees

6 years down the line and im thinking of getting another one

I'm 20 and have got a 56 reg Vectra 1.8 and a P reg Rover 620Si. My current project is an L reg Calibra V6.

First turbo car I got when I was 16...well...it was a shagged our MK2 XR2 which got stripped, welded up and had a 2.0 Zetec Turbo dropped in. I got insured on it at 18 and sold it after 3 months to my mate. Its now in bits in his garage because the engine build gave up
