Alright there,

Me and a few mates run a forum for Uno Turbo owners,

There are always Uno's for sale on there and lots of info aswell:
www.turbocollective.co.uk

They are so much fun for the money, I took mine to P.T.S and it made 195bhp with not overly expensive mods and in a car that weighs a little over 800kg's it will give you a massive grin...........till it brakes!! but they are easy cars to work on and you get cheep tax too

James.

Some of the best times I've had in cars were in these. Absolutely brilliant wee things.

Nearly met my maker in one as well, not for the faint hearted. Used to love seeing the looks on peoples faces as I blasted by them in an Uno and there sat there in their big BMW's and the likes.

Out of all the small hot hatches back then this is by far my favourite. Hardly anything could touch them. My mate had a Mk1 swift GTi at the same time. When I think back to what we did, surrounded by not much more than tin foil i wonder how we are still here today.

Would love another.

My brother had a mk1 uno turbo, there was a mk2 one from down the road, and it pissed all over it, the best part of it was the turbo gauge and the red carpet!
