Killa guys have a cossie saf limo now which has been down a few times and still see lek and saj a few times a week in some tweeked up 530D's to look like M5's and the cossies are still about somewhere. He use to have a rear engined widearched R5 Turbo but that went on fire in his driveway around the corner from my old house :-(

 

[CarbonKa]

[marcusplowman]

I was rarely in Bangor...too far to go when you live 3 miles from Portstewart Was going there from the early 90s!

 

[Gman]

I remember the Killer cars too and the drag racing afterwards. My weapon of choice was my green TD Cavalier lowered on 17"s, Remus twin square back box and a crack in the air box that made it sound like it was supercharged lol.

@ WingCommander - saw your old A3 in Belfast last week... still looks ****!

[Gaza_r]

I used to head down in the early 90's in the old 1.0 Nova 'Spin', it had tennis ball graphics down the sides... I couldn't get those things off.

Nova SR alloys, a Mountney steering wheel and a Kenwood cassette head unit.

LOL pretty lame when I think about it now.

 

[Graham]

Comber Car Park : Raleigh Team Burner late 90's before I was legal to drive

Bangor Car Park : Ford Ka | Megane Coupé then a grew up but would still call by the odd night for 5 minutes

 

[brucie]

at that time if you had a cassette player with a digital display in the car, 2 parcel shelf mounted speakers you had a sound system lol

 

[Cooper]

I remember many a night down in bangor and off to millisle in the corolla and then my Vti. 99-03 would have been my vintage.
