    It was indeed my old 5 many years back lots of good memories with that 5 first time around I owned it must be back around 2000. Not so many good memories 2nd time around (alot of work needed as pretty much destroyed when I got it back). It's really nice to see it in the club and being looked after and still alot of the stuff I purchased new is still on it aswell by the looks of it

    Daniel keep up the top work its looking good.

    Pic's attached 1st time around I owned I think a matter of days after I purchased, my first change was the wheels to the turbines and I stuck a Magnex exhaust I got if from Reading.

    I think you're right, i seem to remember having the tungy in 2006 (world cup year) I owned twice.

    Anyway, nice to see James old 5 getting some TLC

    I've spoken to Dan a few times over the last couple of weeks and he seems a really genuine guy with a real excitement for restoring this car! If he carries out half the work he wants on it then it will be a real gem!
