DodgyRog Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I remember a thread on here from a long time ago, asking for pics of previous cars owned. Well my mum is down for the weekend and gave me some old photo's she had found, so thought I would post a couple up Both these photo's would be around the late 80's, about 1988 I think First up is my Yamaha RD125, de limited and modified, used to have a full race faring before a shity brown Vauxhall Viva pull out of a junction in front of me. This bike was relatively quick and could break through the 100mph barrier This was my pride and joy in the day and blew away the VW Golf GTi boys. It only had the Ti engine with twin 45's at this stage, but it had a full roll cage and a Lotus engine droped back in to her. It was an original Lotus shell when I got it, but the owner blew the engine and wasn't able to source a Lotus engine cheap enough at the time. Had a limited slip diff and used to be an excellent car for going sideways around the roundabout:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 Nice paint job It cost me £500 for a bare metal respray and I designed it, the grill took them ages to get right. It was originally in black with the silver side strip, which was 1 of the 2 Lotus colour options. I had it resprayed after a spin on wet leaves (no not diesel;)), which ended with me pirouetting down the road into a hedge/bank and creaming each panel on the drivers side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
