Tidy engine bay lol.

 

The saph in that pic or the escort? As I can assure you the saph is not in Kent.

 

joffy m8, I did say Desert Storm NOT Snow Storm, and I can assure you all 540bhp is sitting in my garage lol. Here's the link to my Facebook "My Cars" photo album http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...1&l=14f5f6909c

 

The whole turbosystems storm series of cars were a iconic collection back in the era as nearly all tried copying them, Retro is back in and I hope to see a few more Tiger'd up cossies on the road again and at shows

 

Not you mate, chopper turbo put a pic of snowstorm saying its in Kent?

 

Every now and again questions are asked about the turbosytems storm series of cars heres snow storms feature

 

Twin calipers were thanks to WRC hubs weren't they? As they aren't side specific so have calipers mountings both sides I was told?

 

Legend cars!!!

 

I really like the 3spokes on snowstorm..........

 

I'm in Stoke and looking to buy snow storm, if you can pm me for details

 

All have shit names if you ask me, bring em back fine but ffs lose the wank names

 

Sweet! So my citrine yellow saph (with planned black into dark grey into light grey tiger stripes won't look too shit then lol!

 

It will look totally shite but that's the point its back 'in'.

 

Its the Names that are remembered they must stay. These were Top cars in the early 90's which is mind blowing. They should be saved IMO.

 

Back in the day that must of been one of the fastest things on the road, cant see much being able to keep up with it.

 

A mate of mine was taken out in desert storm back in the early 90's when it was 500hp, he said it was nuts back then had never been in or on anything like it! At the time he had a zzr 1100 Kawasaki as well as his Rs turbo and it was much quicker than the zzr he said!
Rod, can't imagine what yours will be like with twice the power, how things have moved on.

 

You need to get hold of joffy his profile shows he was last on here in march, you could try send him a PM.

 

Things move on, would you save one?

 

The same question will be asked about mine. Personally I will not save mine if theres more money for breaking it, but if all the ground breaking cars are just broken up future generations will not know what had been achieved. Only 4 cars have been fastest RS. Martins two have gone, if Tonys car is not saved & I break mine they will all be lost. Its sad but im afraid that's whats going to happen.

 

What was he smoking when he came up with all these silly names lol. What was wrong with plain old turbo systems sapphire?

 

The names are as 90's as the cars lol

Every time I hear desert storm I think of the xbox game I spent years playing lol

 

They were Iconic cars when you were too young to remember Andy. There have been few Cossies as well known as these.

 

Guess it stems from the Gulf war era, but I agree, they're an odd choice. But, as mentioned above, they're memorable!!

 

That's good enough for me

 

Twin calipers is such a badass look.

 

If I ever get captured and the baddies need to torture me I am not sure my double hard SAS training could hold up to looking at 3 Spokes for long

 

Funny fucker

 

Gotta keep the 3 spokes proper 90s retro

 

Yup they were shite then and old and shite now. No car has ever looked good on them. I think they were for poor people who didn't have the taste or money for the extra 1 or 2 spokes.

 

I love 3 spokes lol

 

You ought to talk to your doctor, I expect you get some drugs for that and maybe even some benefits? Lol

 

Not allowed benefits I am British and have a full time job

 

Lol

 

I remember desert strike, urban strike (the helicopter games) those was good.

Also remember command and conquer/red alert. Those wasted some time in my youth

 

Wow u managed to change the word retro to shite off my post, u must be a very high paid computer programmer or something to work out how to do that

 

Not a dig, genuine question:

It's not like the WWI memorial is sold off for scrap now is it?

"Future generations will not know what has been achieved..."

Do you really think hammering an old taxi down a disused runway is that important that future generations need to know about it?

 

I'd imagine only important to fans of the 80s and 90s fords

 

Fair enough!

 

They don't need to know but interest does not seem to wane the You tube vids ( I didn't post them others did) are still watched by 1000's each day 10 years after it stopped running. One is approaching the million hits so out there somewhere people are still interested it seems. Is it important no its trivia does it matter no of course not but just look at this site & the fact we are discussing a car 20 years past its heyday.

 

Some people are interested in history and these cars are a big part of rs history ! I have just got the turbo systems corgi model to ad to my collection lol I love it all
