Aloha

Hi guys,

Saxperience convert here,

Can guess my name by the username, pretty original huh, I'm 20 years old and drive a Spaxo VTR,
Previously I had a mango 1.1 and decided to go down the track slag route with cage, stripped out, buckets, harnesses, remove almost everything I don't need! and then stick a VTR engine in it,
That was all fine and dandy until after spending about 2-3k within a couple of weeks and spending countless hours trying to get it sorted, A lovely old lady came straight out of a junction and into the side of me despite me moving halfway across the road to avoid her!! Still kept coming! jeeez..

Here are some pics of the little thing as she used to be,






But hey ho, I got a nice pay out, plus sold all of the bits for massive profit, Perks of not being the typical 18 year old and actually declaring all my mods!! And off she went on the back of a gypsy's pickup as a bare shell


2 years on, 20 years old and time for the VTR I couldn't afford back then, Picked up a little gem untouched for £1200, expensive for a 1998 model but hardly any miles when I got it and full stamped history etc plus plenty of tax and MOT

Here she is after just getting her dropped down a bit


The plans so far are to go back to my old preference, I can't stay away from it,
Stripped out and lightened,
Caged and strengthened,
Massive brakes and some decent suspension
And finally get on the bloody track!!!!

So yeah, There's my life story!
Hope to get it all done this year and get to have some fun with her!

welcome over mate, love the idea of a base model sleeper, was the way I was thinking of going with my 1.1 106 years ago...but alas ended with a GTI.

If your interested get your name down for spring action day at castle combe on the 24th april details are in the events section will be an awesome day

Cheers dude Yeah I loved the idea, My mates thought it looked like a sack of poopoo until I took them in it hehe, Combe is just down the road from me in Bristol so might take a trip down

only a fiver to get on the stand mate can't grumble at that.

Will speak with the mrs and see what she thinks

Welcome over!

TBH i think the best sleeper would have been a 106 van with a GTi engine but meh

Paxo looks good!

Welcome aboard. As Woz said, get yourself to Combe

Welcome mate, also as Woz said... but also come to FCS too

tbh mate, do all the shows with us is what were getting at

Got a lot of work to be done before FCS, for example my VTR still has an interior! lol

The mango saxo was cool, I'm slowly getting there with a sleeper.

Yeah I do miss it Was so cool! no-one knew what it was lol
