Back in the early 1990s i was a young man living with my parents. Aged around seventeen years old, my bed room was my place. As many of you know, I recently moved home, I am in the process of sorting and throwing out old things. Today, I found an old Carefour carrier bag. Inside were posters from my preffered publication at that time (no not Escort or Mayfair) but Street Machine and Chrome and Flames. I remember waiting in anticipation for the release of the next edition and rationing the read to ensure that I had enough to read until the next months offering. How i dreamed of roof chopping a Morris Minor traveller and putting in a fiat 126 engine. I thought about building a Wizard roadster using an old beetle. Anyway, enough dreaming, some pictures to jog your memories. Apologies for the poor photos - i only had my camera phone..... Any additions to this? Also, would anyone like these? they are mostly all double sided and are in good condtion for 20 years old. PM me if you are interested. I was thinking that a donation to the local hospital where my wife works might be a nice gesture?

I did have posters like that, but I didn't want to ruin my magazines by ripping the posters out. I'm glad I didn't, as I still have all my car magazines from my youth. My favourite was Street Machine, but I also have VolksWorld, Mini World, Porsche World, Mini-Magazine & Custom Car magazines all in original condition. Every now a then, I'll look at them and remember when I dreamed of owning a Pro-street Ford Pop. (Happy Days).

Looks just like my boy cave I had in the 80's - Loved the pink SD1 and saw it at Chelsea Cruise once. I also hankered after a chopped moggy and indeed had one - It was called THUG - anyone remember it? Still dream of owning a V8 Mini-truck - hoping to fulfil that dream soon!

There was a picture of the back of it in CC many moons ago from the Chelsea Cruise. I also had a roof chopped mk1 Granada called 'Beetlecrusher' that got into Custom Car on a RTTS write up and also a small pic of a half chopped 1600E called 'Shitzaphrenia' was in SM - Those were the days!!
