Sparkie, that was Stu Beals motor. That's going back to my very early years of R5GTTOC. About 1996 if I remember right. :eek: I've just re-met Stu this year as we both have M3 CSL's now. He still really misses that car. Still has some nice pictures of it. As far as I know the shell was scrapped. Anyone know any different?

Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???
Al remember seeing the pictures a few years ago on the site sitting in a scrap yard - was not aware it got transplanted in any way. Would have been nice to have a drive in a 4wd 5 :P
Did think about it for 10mins with Scoff when building my FAMOUS VAG R5 :P lol currently with Paul (Minty83)

Such a shame i remember the first time Stu brought it up the pod, i think it was ultimate fast car 1996 or 97, he was so proud of it but could not run it down the drag as it had only just been finished, never saw him or the car after that, would have been good to know how it did down the strip, anyone got any photos ect or vid's of this.

12.6 @ 112 if my memory serves. there was something spooky about his run, either the trap or ET was bang on the same as GT tuning's record run of the time, I forget which.

No, I think he sold it to a lad from Wrexham. His name was John or something. Came on-line here giving it the fat one and quoting hilarious power claims, etc. Didn't last long.:sad2:

Ahh, cool. I must've been mixing up different cars in my head :laugh:
I was picturing one that had crazy A-symetrical kit and huge wheels, or am I well off? I think the exhaust might've exited through the boot lid.
Could be crossing ten different cars here.
