First car was a Grey XR2i when I was 16, then a Blue Clio RSi then a Nightfire Red Clio RSi.

When I passed my test the modifying bug caught on and I tarted up this...

I had two cars before I even passed my test :lol: (nae surprise there really!!)

1st was a 1972 VW Beetle (looked good but was a mechanically a shed)

then a 1980 Mini Van. I spent a fortune customising it inside and out :driving:

First scooby was a 1997 turbo in Reddish Blue metallic ;) which I bought new from Nobles . The rest as they say is history :)

Just remembered the Reg on the cars KMU 828K on the Beetle and AWH193V on the mini van. The Impreza was R278 RTS me thinks!

First car was a T reg Mini with a 1300cc engine, straight thru' exhaust, front disc brake conversion which meant the wheels needed spacers. So was nice and wide with flared arches until the wheel studs sheared and the wheel went up thru' the wide arch and wrecked the A pillar. :)

Was great fun tho :D

Oh, and for those of you that know me, yes i did fit in it ok :D . The drivers seat runners were mounted slightly further back :thumbup:
