Some cars you just kinda miss. This is Steve's old Renner 4. I loved this horrible little car. It still pops up on eBay every now and again This was my bargain Saab. £170 and I put thousands of trouble free miles on it before flogging it for £350. How un-Akku. I know better now though. More pics later of other tat. Have just recovered an old hard drive of mine...

2 of my mates owned it in fact.
Jeff painted it that green. It was white originally. Jeff is the guy that built that crazy pro street "kermit green" SE4 Scimitar GT. He was going through his green period at the time I guess.
Steve bought it off Jeff.
I sold it on eBay for Steve when he was done.
Any aledged tampering with it to get it tax exempt happened before any of us had it.

My first Skoda I loved it so much that when it became so structurally rotten that I had a problem closing the doors after letting the jack down after a wheel change I used it to make my Bugrat.

Got some more old photos up now.... Worst car in the world evAH!!! Hopefully now scrapped. The photo emailed to me which convinced me to buy my last Cortina. Last time I looked it was still taxed. My first Fury POS. Scrapped. I ***should*** have bought this, it was £1500 T&T and I had the money. I'm sure I bought something cr@p instead. A mate's Victor. No idea what happened to it. My old Moggie drop top. Still taxed last I looked. Someone I haven't seen in a while, just about the most reto guy evAh, Leon, in the back of my old Victor 2000. Not long sold to a drag racing guy called Richie who runs the old Northern Hustler Ventora drag car. I can be seen in this photo talking to the guy I eventually sold it to ironically enough (Jason), he sold it to Richie. I'm the cool looking dude in the leathers and sideburns. Another old Victor of mine. Also owned by Steve first then me, then sold on to Martin. Thats the way it used to go back then. This car is MIA, Martin is trying to find it again, if anyone knows anything LMK.

I won a Jo-han kit of that model fury - police car too - in a model comp years ago. I constructed a full "tube" frame for it out of brass rod and had a working four bar arrangement. I was kitbashing it witha pro mod kit or something. Unfortunatly that's as far as it got Moggie looks/ed tidy

Moggie was a good one (I swapped it for a modern Audi I had bought and hated!) and I have that same Johan kit, unbuilt...

Just for Pog and its fans heres the Renner again Heres some pics of my old P5B Here it is earning its living. Note the PC Cresta Deluxe on the drive, belonged to a mate, had a very early LPG (early70s) conversion on it. Was a pig to get that running right. I should have bought thatone off him when i had the chance. Great car. Here's 2 of it in more suitable setting Thats one car I really miss. This was a very luxury place to be.

My old AX GT500 going round Castle Coombe. Ok, so it was a bit Barry, but 120 brake VTR engine in something that weighed under 800kg meant it was quite nippy. Pretty rare as well, sold it to some comkplete chav who's probably destroyed it now

This was a goodun, well it looked it. Rotten as a pear underneath... ooo the plans i had. I loved my Golf, but it had loads of little things wrong with it, including damage from a rear end shunt, and it hated being used everyday. Sold it to a lass who lived 3 streets away from me who promptly took it off the road, its not been re-taxed... If she's scrapped it i'll be livid, it was a great car that.

You should go round and see her, offer her £50 or a kick to the shins.
