Alright ladies and gents? The names Luke, I'm from Peterborough, I'm quite new to the forum and I am CRAZY about retro cars, mostly from the 70s onwards to the 90s I thought after seeing some of the best classics around on this forum, I'd see if I could join the party? Anyways I'll show you the cars I've had I'm only 19 and Ive had a few cool classics already Enjoy.... My first car, 1989 Renault 5 campus Which was restored my me, my dad and our mate simon. Next came my vauxhall rascal I absolutely loved that van. Then this happened... Which resulted in this... A lovely double fracture to my wrist and a fracture to the forearm , can't remember the names of the bones... That was seven weeks ago, whilst I'm on the mend, I got myself a 1990 mk4 escort van, currently no pics but if anyone's interested, I'd like to start a build thread on it and start to get on the show circuit in a big way. Cheers guys! And thanks for having me

Hello and welcome, that's quite a battle wound! A build thread for the Escort would much appreciated, always go to see what people are getting up to on their own cars (and vans) ;D

Welcome. Really like the 5! What happened with the van then? Firstly, I'd like to say thank you so much to everyone for the very warm welcome! And thanks! I really loved that little 5 but, being a four speed it was fahooookin juicey! Haha, the full stainless exhaust And K&N air filter didn't help but, hay ho! Haha Ahh the van, that was just a case of pure miss fortune! I was going round a roundabout in all honesty at 20-25MPH I saw a rainbow of oil on the road, so I saw there was no one on the road so I went round it' hitting. A pot hole which was filled with oil, flipping me on my side, my window was down so I put my arms in front of my face to stop the wing mirror smashing in my face, then as I landed my arm hit the road and the van slid over it and crushed it between the van and the road. Really sorry for the essay! Haha Here's some restoration pics of the 5 I've found...
