    my dad owned this car for years he paid £7000 many years ago ,we did take it to a max power show in doncaster were it was parked next to a blue wide arched one,he never took it out in the rain always garaged,he was really anal with it used to take the bolts out the splits and polish them every week lol sure it was on ebay for bits not long ago..
    I was lucky enough to know the first customer Francis Skeete had for this kit. John had it done in Pearl white and it looked the nuts....I then saw this for sale very locally to me and had a good look round it...The magazine article was superb! It had a big effect on me...

    didnt she marry Dan Bedstead (Benstead) and the pair of them disappeared off the car scene?

    although a quick facebook stalk indicates that Sona isnt on his friends list....

    I think they did marry and Sona did her art work for another magazine (was it the same mag/publisher that Emma was working on?).

    I did have a fantastic pic of her buffing the car at Donny 2002 and I can remember the little snip she put in Redline with Ralphy and cheesy comments *lol*)

    Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???

    I found an old copy of PFC when sorting through my shed this morning with a very tidy BB Performance Tuning EFi converted Tungy featured.
    Owned in the mag by a builder called John. Car had been fully resprayed in tungy, fitted with new side graphics and lowered nicely on O.Z superleggeras otherwise standard externally.
    Who owns this car now? or does anyone know where it ended up?

    Shame! Looked to be a well sorted 5. Very O.E looking seeing as it was a few years ago.

    carisma was jamie shaw, heard he went off the rails a bit towards the end of the pimp my ride days, see his company is still going strong but no mention of 5's, carismas website seems to just be offering custom interiors for prestige motors and 4x4's these days, no mention of its roots or the good ole days, shame as they did some nice work back in the day

    Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???

    I spoke to Jamie Shaw recently and set him up as a trader on here. He was wondering about selling the silver 5 but to a club member rather than the general public.

    The idea was to start a thread for interested parties to ask questions and talk about the sale and gauge a value for the car.

    He now specialises in expensive interior refits to the Mercedes people carrier for wealthy executives and celebrities who want to chauffeured around in anonymous luxury.

    This would be the car in post 13 of this thread?

    good to hear he is still about and doing well, im surprised he would want to part with the 5 though, if i had invested that much work in a car and owned it that long you would have to prise the keys from my cold dead hand

    He said he owned nine cars and the 5 was just one them. He wanted to reduce the quantity a bit.

    GT tuning = the Apple of the Renault world - only ****s with too much cash believed the shiny hype.

    and 61 posts - before the new site I had over 10,000 posts! those were the days.

    you should add the Grey Ghost G919 VJA - 20 runs up the pod one after another back in 2003/2004 my beast and drove home and me old Renault 11 Legenderry for having the worst paint repair and the home made sidey!

    I have to laugh everytime this comes up, like how he says Santa Pods timing gear musy have been wrong to print 94mph!

    What ever happened to this car or any of the other that were on that site (under famous 5's)?

    Chris the rather nice Tungy still belongs to Grant, he's not as active on the forums any more as I think he discovered girls though he does still update occasionally. Great work on that though he's gone a little too far for my taste.

    Lovely car indeed, but famous?

    Markey McMarkos - The last memory I have of Steve Rae's old car is that it was owned by a guy over Bristol way, who used to be a member of the old site. I can't remember his name, but I remember he took the car to the Nat' Day one year. I'll have a photo of it somewhere.

    Tommy - The only thing your old 5 is famous for is being a bike

    Wow! been really interesting and brought back a lot of memmories reading all this, I remember lots of the cars, the Cossie 4x4 5 was in a magazine - performance GTI? and the A14 BBT, GT Tunings cars and Steve Rae's was the inspiration behind me buying mine...

    As for the Delta bodykits, they are/were produced in Barnsley. Can't believe people would butcher 5's up with golf lights etc...

    As for the Delta bodykits, they are/were produced in Barnsley. Can't believe people would butcher 5's up with golf lights etc...
    Cosworth 4x4 R5 was Bealo's. He's a good mate of mine but the only picture he can lay his hands on is this. Pity, he has great memories of the bad ol' days.

    Anyone remember the R5 meet at Skeete's workshops. Must be back in 1996 or so! I've got pictures somewhere. Have to dig them out.

    That really low red 5 in the top left hand corner of the home page, what happened to that one? Who owned it by the way?
