1. Make and model and colour please
2. Modifications if any,
inc: exterior, interior and engine
3. Did you have a booming system? Did you think it was cool to cruise/terrorize the streets in your home town?
4. Did you think it looke the mutts nuts at the time?
5. Did you engage in sordid/risque/illegal activities in said jamjar?
6. Did you have any 'amusing' stickers in your windows?
ie: On a Mission, My other car is a Porsche, FORD owners club.
1) Mk1 Astra GTE, in White (yes my insurance company did shaft me, being aged 17!)
2) Mods were fairly limited, had windows blacked at Ripspeed (thats how long ago we're talking!), matching rear light clusters and front indicators, exhaust, filter, 15" 6 spoke alloys and.....
3) Phat stereo system!!! Was in my bad old days, when I didn't understand sound 'focus', so I had masses of sub, amps and speakerage in the boot with a pathetic pair of co-ax's in the front doors!!! And yes, it was very cool to both cruise and terrorise!!!
4) Did I think it looked the mutts nuts at the time? Dude, it WAS the mutts nuts!!! I was the only one of my friends who decided to spend the money and buy and insure a hot hatch and the only one who mastered lift off oversteer before his 18th birthday.
5)
Of course I did. No comment
6) Of yeah, it was when Yokohama's first became popular, so I had a Big black Yoko sticker (on a white car) on the bonnet, bootlid and a white one in each rear window
To be honest, If I won the lottery, I would buy and restore one of them, to permanantly immortalise my memories of my 'geezerhood' (bit like childhood, but you have the money to buy the proper toys
)
