1. bodykits were never cool.
2. 3-spoke alloys were and never will be cool.
3. Fast Car, Revs and Max Power were never cool.


facts not opinions.

Think the only common denominator in those statements is the bloke that made them.  :wink:

I didn't realise it was no longer in publication and after just reading the Wiki write up I've learnt that Fast Car, Revs & Redline are also deceased. How times change...

Fast Car is still in publication.

Got so much love for the R5 GT Turbo's.
Yeah +1 and some of the power figures that people got from that little motor were insane.

Kit Kat wrappers on wheels, I know someone who had a Skeet R5 i think the body kit weighed more than the car :grin:
Great fun though and a good alternative to all the Fords and 205's of the day, Uno turbo was pretty much the same :smiley:

Uno turbo's were friggin scary. My mate had one and deceided to lose control of it down a country lane with me in the passenger seat, before we knew it we were launched into the air about 20 feet and barrel rolling across the farmers field at 60mph.
Needless to say there wasn't much left of the flimsy sardine can and the roof was completely collapsed in on top of my left shoulder obliterating it....my friend was projected through the sunroof whilst it rolled and miraculously came out virtually unscathed.!!

You were lucky those things were proper flimsy and a real handful in the wet
