Hi all,

We have got
Subaru Sti Prodrive version "
" my baby..... 
Sapp Cossie 4x4 = Heavily modified
Escort Cosworth = stage 1 chip.
Mitsubishi Evo 6 = Heavily modified
Honda Integra Type R
What has everybody else got?

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
