i snapped a drive shaft on one of my old escorts and had it recovered to my dads 110 miles away. whilst on the journey there the recovery driver and myself got talking about cars and he told me he used to part own a company called 5-alive that tuned them. he told me they were the 1st to fit a clio engine into the R5 or something
Their premises was a properly dodgy back street alley - the kinda place where '5s go to die' if you know what I mean!

love it. really awsome little motor
My old R5gtt was very quick, all the mods(21 had money to burn).... had the best front bumper on it: 4 fog light bumer looked standard as factory fitted. had a cheeky supercinq sticker on it
will find a pic and scan it.
sometimes when i accelerated it broke. but i always fixed it

5 Alive - blimey that takes me back. It was (is?) owned by a guy called Joe Salama. They donated a 5 to use in a feature for Revs. The car broke down literally a mile outside of their workshop, and he tried to bill us for its repair! He leant us a second car and over the course of the week we had it it broke down about 4 times.
