scanned some old pics of my previous toys so thought i'd let you lot see them.
all comments welcome
my first car was an uno
no pics sorry(not missing much)
my 2nd car.180bhp escort turbo.
started life off as a mess due to bad girl driver
front hi,rear quarter hit and back end hit

then i got her repaired and sprayed mk1 mexico le-mans green

three spokes were on it when i bought it
so i changed them to these when funds allowed

3rd car bailey motorsport built 250bhp escort turbo

put the rims from the green beast on it.

and some stereo

4th car was the 280bhp pulsar gti-r lightweight sparco rims




pukka little car that was but broke alot and expensive
5th car was my pug 205 1.6 gti

bought as a means to keep standard and save for a house
lasted............................................ .............er 1 week and then this

went to this

mi-16 power! great fun.many super cars shocked by the grunt and pace of the mi-16 box 150mph!

the on to my baby.the saff! when i first got her

then the rims

then the lights

after a trip to berks meet one snowy evening.still got a pic in perf ford though

and how she stands now with 350bhp

now onto the tidy up stage so wont be out for a bit
so what do you lot think of my list?

my pulsar cost me 1400 quid due to being an import pulsars are good cars but expensive and break bits often.
but i still love them just not as much as a cossie.the pulsar drives itself as well which bores me a bit.

Hello Neil mate, bloody hell talk about step back in time.
Remember your white one well, as you still had that when i started gettin into the whole rs thing. Remember trying to keep up with all you lot when we went to the Essex meets. Thinking back that was years ago, when the meet used to be at the half way house, and the location before that, can't remember the name of the other pub.
Never got the pleasure of seeing the green one in the flesh, tho heard you talk about it loads before.
Anyway mate good pic's and good memories

The memories are flooding back in now!! Cant believe its been what 10 years since your uno?!
Your saph looks really tough in that last pic, the white rs turbo brings back memories of you doing my Escort Cosworth down the A12! Not that quick pulling away but super quick once it got going!
Dan - a blast from the past, hope all is well with you mate.
We just need Gossy here now to come along and put his RS in 2nd gear whilst doing 80mph to make the gang complete!
Ross (feeling very old now)
