Retro Turbo

Ha, ha, yes that was the one with the Compomotive cross spokes! Very small world, sold it to a guy who lowered it so much (think he let all the fluid out...) that it used to pop the driveshafts all the time. Did look good, mind! Heard that the Coca Cola Fiesta was eventually broken up and with a 1760 X-flow it was good for high 14s - no wonder it took out pretty much everyone! Yeah, remember the 'bab van and the attack well. Got to agree, those were the days when it came to cheap 'scorts. The amount of 'em that mates had then and scrapped was shocking. Likewise 131s and Sunbeams. Hindsight's a bugger!

Had to laugh when I read the reply from X-pack Glyn. Know Bridge Street car park well from my 'yoof' and also being 32 was probably around at much the same time. Alas, I didn't have anything as cool as a MkI then but a Racing Green overbored 1340 Metro with all the A-Series go-faster bits (come on, it was my first car...). Still it went well enough and can well remember having a play off the roundabout with cars like a Zebra-striped RS2K and a Coca-Cola liveried MkI Fiesta. Happy days! Needless to say I came off worst! As for the CCTV catching you drifting on the roundabout mate, that is pretty bad luck. Guess they didn't go for the "got problems with the clutch" excuse.
