Default Fast Car with Reyland Mini! Nice hair Martoon ;-)

What are friends for if it's not posting pics of you from 17 years ago?!

Although it's a pain when your parents fill your garage up with old stuff that's been in their loft for years, it's also quite intreresting taking the trip down memory lane at what they've brought.

In my case it included a complete set of Max Powers from issue 1 in 1993 (not sure if I should have said that!) and a load of old Fast Car mags including the November 1991 edition...









Got to say, that Mini would still get top if it had been built today

Although same can't be said for your hair

I was flicking through some old mags a couple of weeks back and spotted Martin in a 1995 issue of Fast Ford (with Citrine Esc Cos cover car) and Tony S Mannock in an issue from the same sort of era

I was 21... What other cars where in that issue Rents, I'm sure I had it.

Remember when fast car has detailed in depth articals about tuning?

Anyone remember Redline when it first came out, it was more like a Lifestyle mag, it had Cars, Bikes, Gadjets all sorts of shit!!

I've still got just about every Fast Car in the loft from about 1988ish. I kept the 1st 3 Max Powers and binned the rest when I needed the space.

I'm sure the bedroon ceiling is starting to sag

Na, its loads better with the A-series in! I'm never normally a fan of body kits on Minis, but that looks spot on!
