you had a VL?

Before the bogans of the world started painting them kermit green, and well before the advent of 21" chrome Zepters! I had 265 Yokohama Y352 tyres (the ones with the white writing on walls) on a 15 x 8 inch Simmons B45 rim... old skool cool

now there was a great rim and still are

It was a choice of that, or the Simmons V5's

my god...you have owned 3 fto and no type R?

Look at number 16. My current FTO is a type R

thats version r...actually im referring to honda type r...lol.

Ahhh sorry, misunderstood. Never owned a honda. Excellent build quality, but unfortunately a high price to go with it. Have always found Mitsubishis to be good value for money and a LOT cheaper than Hondas. Having said that, I guess you get it back when you sell...

2. Mitsubishi Lancer MR 1998 - my pride and joy, went everywhere with this car, very zippy for its engine size - some dickhead ran a redlight and wrote it off on my behalf. I miss it a lot.

3. BMW 318i 1993 - was a fun car to cruise in, so slow and lacking power (88kw lol)

4. Nissan Pulsar N14 1993 manual - had a few mods on it when i bought it, it went suprisingly well and was fun to drive around in, zippy and its ca16de revved hard.
