Re: Rapids 80's photos


So the white 4 door Valiant was Dennis the Menace. Owned by a Paul ? Had a Koffel engine (or just a cam?) I remember he had an issue with it.

Here it is at a later date in super gas, was this when it had the Koffel engine?

Re: Rapids 80's photos


Thanks Mark :) was that pic of our car taken outside your house in Waltham Abbey?

I think it was taken outside of where Blue used to live in Waltham Cross


I think we fitted the centerlines in 87 so that will have been around then, or shortly after.

I have a similar set of Brighton photos ...

68 Hemi Dart from Sweden, I think this was a genuine car looking at the vin plate, it was a bit rough round the edges though.

Re: Rapids 80's photos

Yes I remember it well, when we took the trans out it was in about 4 pieces. Steve was lucky not to have been badly hurt, front drum explosions can be proper nasty.
Here's the picture of Steve's car after the trans explosion. The gas pedel isn't where it used to be.

Re: Rapids 80's photos

The hood stripe on Steve's was Matt black and it had a 727 which he blew up resulting in a hole in the trans tunnel, I think it bruised his foot as well. I've got a picture of the hole somewhere.
