Then bike cans became popular.....

Everyone goes through the phase do you not think. Goes from the Max power stage, to the euro stage, to the track slack stage, then evenually you grow up and buy a decent car.

DO you agree?

Ok ssc cars, but its ironic that the scene then was huge, now if anyone posted a pic of that all the 1.1 owners with stripped seats would be banging on about how they are shit etc...

i agree up to the point where you said "buy a decent car"....i still havent done that yet....lol

but yeah I had the max power stage with the blue vtr, then the euro look with my carisma trimmed burgandy one, then i obviously had my track car.

leeroybrown · 26th November 2009, 21:14

I went through something similar but kinda missed the euro scene, had decent cars then went back to saxo's.

Did anyone else have a corsa and not like saxos then buy a saxo and not like corsas? Fickle world.

To keep it on track, I was quite inspired by bic's car when I first hit the forums. I dont know how well liked he was but the car was very impressive, built to no spec than his own.

Ryan^p · 26th November 2009, 21:17

I allways thought euro was shit

Anyway floatlite (mk2) he wrote the first one off

Bunney

smooth pimp

KeithLemon · 26th November 2009, 21:17

leeroybrown · 26th November 2009, 21:18

The spec was originally a maxi replica so not exactly his own. Since changed when he needed more power. Although before the white paint it was another engine, which ended up being a whore of an engine going through about 4-5owners in about 2-3years. It had the curved M3 trumpets

Driving lessons would have been cheaper though

leeroybrown · 26th November 2009, 21:20

You would have never guessed Ryan aint a fan of Bic would you lol

I didnt quite catch it with the first engine I dont think, only with the longmans one iirc

I think that engine was up for sale recently but had problems with using vast amounts of oil, could be wrong though

Leeroy anything can be achieved with enough money it would seem

Doubt it's been mentioned, but Lee Rushdon's 1.5D 5 door saxo.

edit: ryan beat me.

I'm trying to start a trend for good driving skills (with the exception of parking) and high mpg... WHO'S IN???

Ryan^p · 26th November 2009, 21:25

The curved trumpets engine I know was in a black GTI a girl owned and RS gill (Raj then bought it for his nana gti) Since then its been sold iirc, It was a bit of a whore
