Redline Magazine Saxo Meet Oulton Park 1999!!!!

[vtectransplant]

Now most of you will have been in Primary School when the Saxo was released but some of us had them from new ;)

This was a meet organised by Redline was back in '99 and although at the time I only had a 1.1 (2 years free insurance :y:) I couldn't resist having a blast round Oulton.

Be prepared for lots of TSW rims and lots of bad haircuts!

For those of you old enough.......bit of a blast from the past eh?

You couldn't drive for 5 seconds without seeing a Saxo or 106 could you?!

Whats mental is the price of the cars in the for sale section.

MkII Golfs cheaper than they are now and Fiesta RS Turbo's for £7k!

Yeah thats the one. He stays not far along the road from me, but not sure exactly where,otherwise Id pop over and try to buy his engine :)

[Simon]

I would have been 19 then, so would have had my Ford Orion 1.4 Ghia.

Saxo's were still so new back then, no chance of affording one.

[Ryan]

Yeah thats the one. He stays not far along the road from me, but not sure exactly where,otherwise Id pop over and try to buy his engine :)

Has changed the spec much? Iirc it wasn't mental spec but very capable.

[Quick]

Old school (pre-school for some on here!!!)

I spy an SST ram-cooler!

Mk2 came out 99 (V plate)

Need some one to dig out the Rev's track days at alconbury in 2000 & 2001!!!
