Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

1999 - Mk3 B reg rosso red escort!

bought for £40 and it lasted me all year without a single thing done to it!

That thing was great for 4 wheel drifts as the tyres had plenty of tread but were fooking old! lol!

Hi all

We all remember our first car as that is allways like the first love of you life.

Mine was a blue vauxhall nova 1.3sr with silly tinted windows and a exhausgt that I could nearly get my head in!

What about all you guys do you remeber back that far to your first car?


My first was a red Nova Sr, as you do with your first car, you spend too much cash on it, and the second, and the third, fourth.....................

Oh why did I ever leave Australia when you can drive a supercharged mini at 17?!

First car was a '76 Holden Torana LX "S" with drums all round, 3 speed manual and 3 litre six. Still have it and STILL in the paint shop after 2 years...
