The 'Other' Car ( old skool )............
« on: 05 January 2013, 03:37:20 »
As much as my Omega is a great car the 'other' car is the better half's really but I do like driving it when she lets me lol

It's a work in progress but we use as a daily driver and hoping to have it all done for the shows this year,







We love it :D no power steering, no abs, no elec windows just a  2.0 8V with skinny tyres and 900KG in weight = Proper driving  :y

In my mind they are the fast hatchbacks of the 1980s, and that looks a great example of one 8) 8) 8) :y

I had a brand new one on credit back in 85 ,i loved it and thought it could beat everything on the road and never leave the the blackstuff.   I was wrong and before even making a payment rolled it into a field ,going over 5 times i wasn't hurt but mate in back broke his ankle whilst other bloke in front escaped uninjured despite door being missing at end of last roll!
I was very lucky if i'd gone in the otherside of the road it is full of large trees-----you've got to have some good luck!
