Default Stumbled accross these

Having a little tidy up and came accross these.
A few of the cars ive had over the years.

17th Birthday in March and Passed my test in June and brought myself this stunning renault 5 , in eye catching brown
To think i went to the bother of fitting a bonet vent and seats from a gordini turbo





Next was a mirafiori racing in bright orange.
After 2 months of owning it i took a drive to Avanti Tune in somerset ,the uk's main abarth tuner. The engine was taken out to 2.1 , new crank, rods, pistons, big valve head and twin 50 delortos with trumpets.Also fitted some orange revolutions and an ansa marmite exhaust system. It made 212 bhp at the wheels.
Shame about the fog lights - it was the thing at the time , honest







This is a Mini that me and a mate stripped and rebuilt, it had a fibre glass flip front, hi-lo's, spax's ,revolutions, complete bare metal strip and re paint in VW tornado red.






























Next came an XR3i, this was a 1986 which i brought in 1988, OMG what a picture of me at 20yrs old
I thought it looked the dogs, with a full bodykit and twin square headlamps





Got bored of the XR3i and wanted a turbo car, so brought a Lancia Delta HF turbo , And wasnt long before i decided to give it the rally look. Basically copied a car i spotted on an a video.





Next was a lapse in sense, as i wanted something with a bigger engine.
This capri 2.8 special was show room condition. It had half leather, 7 spoke rs alloys , rs stearing wheel and a maxi flow exhaust system.
I was racing motocross at the time so fitted a bike carrier to the back.
What a pile of poop to drive, used to scare the crap out of mw when it has been raining



I had another fiat mirafiori in black, an XR2, and a few others , all of which i cant find any pictures

In 1993 i brought this saph cossie, i brought it from Stormont RS ford in Tunbridge wells, It had 1 owner and only 13k on the clock.
I was treated to a stage 1 ahmed Bajo chip , -31 actuator and a cone filter, which gave it aprox 265bhp. I thought it was the quickets car on the road.
This car was truly mint, shame it ended up 3 feet shorter - oops







Just a couple of my mad banger days, these are taken after the demolition derby at Arlington.
my number was 888 and my nick name was Dirty.
Looks a little bit shorter after the final head on
