Well, this talk of UV's corsa got me thinking. How long will that car last in peoples heads??
U think of the great heavily modified cars that have been around for ages and still look the part/or are still well known.
imo
*The last two R5GTT and the TVR from Carisma. Everyone will remember them.
*Jets Astra V6 (staring off Silver, green, then green again).
*Donnas corsa (yeah, go on, start off, but at the end of the day, everyone knows it, and its been about for a while, and it is a complete car)
*Rentons BMW/Cossie
*Max Poo Project Slam
*Dubsports twin engined turbod VR6 Golf
*Pug Ecosse Green 306 Sedan/306 V6 Convertable (and many more).
*Martin Hadlands Cossie
*Norris Evo 190mph motors.
These are the groyund breakers (or just a few of em) that will stand out in modded history (Imo), so what cars do u know that everyone knows (not your mates R5 down the road with 15"s n a peco ) that will always be talked about.
I just dont think the current UV car will be one of em, but what major cars do u remember that are the grounds for everyone to worship?

imho donnas car will be most well known maybe in the corsa community, but not in the whole uk 'scene'. Oh and do you actually like mp's project slam? I dont like it to be completely honest.

ICy, yea i remember that And the Pink RS2000 with £3000 rear spoiler that they cut up
Willay, well know in the corsa community yeah, but believe me, she gets so much attention with people talking to her about her car, seen it on TV, or at Donny, Max POwer etc.
Its done the rounds of most of Britan. And nope, im not just saying it cos its mi missis motor. As someone said to us, its a few years old now, but still draws the crowds!!!
AK- 24, only 2 years behined u I am getting old too

Thats too far back for me, i was only interested in car/bike/boat/truck racing etc then. Didn't really catch onto the modded scene until i was 17.

Kellys pug is a great little car. Let down hugly at the mo by the standard of teh re-trim in the back. U can tell the rear end was not done by Carisma (again, Carisma interior though, just like teh V6 Astra )
Its lovley, but not too well known.
