Fast Marina Magazine

Love the new look Certainly easier to see what the forum is (however other people at work will also be able to see and take the mick more than usual )

The Mk1 cavalier is a soft ride by modern standards and from the couple of Marinas I have driven they are slightly softer...maybe down to age.

Retro Picture time!



Actually taken at my house yesterday and 'aged'

I love this pic, the guy on the wall must be thinking UNDERSTEER! Im dead!!!

I still think we should get a few rally prep Marinas together for a thrash round somewhere.
Mine's in bits at the mo being re-built.

Sounds like a good idea, get them noticed out there with the Escorts Be a talking point if nothing else

I have had a brainwave.. I think. I have done a few scatters and 12 cars in the past in a Manta GTE and had a damn good time doing so.

I built a decent competetive car with cage and made it as much as I could a rally car but keeping within the rules (only outer light wired up 4 beams etc )and a ...
