Chris has had well modded Sapphire Cossie 4x4 and RS turbo
Jennie, XR2 (Essex girl don't forget!) and MR2
Ma? - well, we don't talk too much about hers

my family dont all own mad performance cars but i like to think ive been bought up correctly. My parents have allways been really into cars, owned all sorts throughout there life times but i when i was young i was taken to alot of veteren car rallys, my dad was even treasurer (sp) once, done a few london-to-brighton runs in our 1903 oldsmobile, lots of rallys in our model-t, loads of stuff, even sat in a genuine ferrari F40 in switzerland once, although i was too young to appreciate this special occasion. My dad had a TVR uptil last year and now i have a sti ppp. Next on the list is a ferrari 360 modena when im 25...

so thats food, **** and whoring out the window for the next 3 years then

Me - MY02 WRX with a few mods

Other Brother - er well it's REALLY old, is white and has Fiesta on the back of it and lots of space under the bonnet
Mum - Mk 4 VW Golf V5

Estate Agent Bro would love an STi but says his company car allowance won't stretch that far!!

Mini Cooper's a nice motor and the other half's MX5 is great for getting out sideways
