I remember commenting on your astra ages ago. Love it [emoji106]The only decent pictures of my GTE I've got are these 2 from the advert when I bought it.
With a couple of other old hatches in the background.
This threads dangerous. Seriously liking the thought of having a grey corsa gsi with a redtop in it! [emoji41]

I've been digging for pics of my old 205mi16 that was stripped to the bone but can't find a single sodding one 
Found my old insurance documents for it though and that's just made me want another 😢

In keeping with the f*ck the hatchback rule, in the early 90's my best mate went to collage with a lad that had a modified Lotus Carlton, not that it's big or clever but he made a sh*t load of money street racing in Birmingham with it, they're worth a bloody fortune now.

The Lotus Carlton is probably one of the coolest cars to come out of the 90s. Would definitely be in my lottery win garage!

Would rather buy the Calrton than a house. Probably be a better investment.
Miss my old Mk2 Fiesta...such a fun car.
Had a 195bhp 160lbft 2.0 zetec engine with ported head, newman cams, bike carbs etc. Which I then changed for a Focus Rs engine running 230bhp and 250lbft.
Other bits were Ib5 with custom ratios and quaife diff, adjustable tcas and tie rods, adjustable arb, gaz coilovers with custom rates, 6 point cage, acewell dash, frst recaros, polycarb windows and loads of other bits.
Boost
Custom rad and intercooler setup to keep it stealth
Some other old Fords I've had

Why oh why did you get rid of the fiesta?!

Whichever has fuel
Its got 4 tyres? All holding air?
My tyres hold air, it's just that one of them only holds it for a few hours.

Talbot/Chrysler/Lotus Sunbeam is the car I've always wanted. One of the greatest RWD hot hatches and brilliant rally cars. Makes me feel old knowing that I used to see one racing about outside my school on my lunch break.
Had a passenger lap in this one on a makeshift rally stage at Bruntingthorpe which was awesome.
I took this picture at the Donington Rally earlier this year. Proper job!

Used to walk past one on the way to school.
My best mate at school's sister used to pick us in one.
It was that turquoise colour. [emoji13]

My father-in-law worked for Tickford as a development engineer back when they developed the MG Maestro & Montego Turbo's but was never a huge fan.
He did have a 1990 MG Meastro though which he re-shelled in 2000 into a brand new LHD Meastro meant for the Bulgarian market he got cheap. Selling off the A series 1275 carburettor engine that it was fitted with to a Mini owner almost paid for the rest of the car.
It gave him a chance to build what he thought Rover should have done in the first place and fitted the 2L 16V M series engine from the Rover 800. He also played around with Spring rates and dampers at Tickford and ended up using Turbo front springs, Montego estate rear springs shortened and Koni dampers. It made for a very comfortable but nicely judged predictable handling car. It was also much quicker than you expected and stopped well too due to a big brake conversion on the front using standard callipers spaced out and VW Corrado discs iirc
He sold it back in 2006 for £800 and TBH I wished I had kept it, as it was great to drive, and was a lovely clean rust free example that had only done 20,000 in the 6 years after he built it.
