been a while

I think I count as "old skool" here.

XRT? As in XR-Two or something else?

Good man. Next on the list should be an HDI one if this isn't already, then get it chipped - performance diesels are the way forwards :)

Well I got over the Mk3 Escort thing years ago, the Astra went to make way for the first of a string of Carltons, and it's now nearly a year since there was last a Carlton cluttering up my drive. I did say I'd given up on s**te cars, but then I went and bought a Mk5 Fiesta van (which was actually pretty good) and then later on a rusty Mk3 Fester Vanheap, and a diesel Maestro van (now gone). Had the A6 TDI nearly a year now, and a couple of months ago I bought something French. Oh well.

xr2 with a turbo conversion daves was a rather quick 1900 cvh with a hybrid turbo/chargecooler etc etcetc 250 bhp in a stripped xr2 rather quick

certainly mullered my tuned to death 1800 rs turbo

yes and no its not getting modded at all its a hack with a towbar and in league with one of ifor williams finest forms an integral part of the nova support structure :)

I been ere long time.

Nothing wrong with a Merde Du turbo.

Missed you two ripping the s*it out of each other, about how you were going to rip the s*it out of each other at Knockhill.

Missus has seen sense got rid of her corsa that people kept driving into, and on my advise bought a Skoda Fabia Classic 1.4.

I couldn't find a decent Skoda rapid that i could afford (would you believe a good one will fetch over a grand and a Sport or Cabrio in good nick closer to 2), so I bought an old Saab turbo which was very quick and I grew quite attached to for a year and a half.

Then a Remortgage came along, and I bought a 1990 Celica GT4, and Saturday was a very sad day, as the Saab was rehoused with her new owner on Morpeth.
