You and your car history.
Now that we're all starting to get to know each others with "what do you look like"-threads and all, what is the history of you and cars? Have you ever been into something more than just traffic use? Rallying? Racing? A couple of track meetings with you old Volvo (Hey Ivan! Wave Wink)?

Well, here's my story;
I have always been interested in cars, and when i turned 15 i started racing in a Junior Series here in Sweden called Renault 5 Junior. You could only enter if you where between 15 and 18 years. The cars where the old Renault 5's, off course with full rollcage and so, we wheren't allowed to do much about the enginges though, everything to keep the costs (and speed) down.
I raced in R5 Junior for three years, 97-99. Ahh... those where the days.
When i turned 18 a lot happened, i moved away from home, other Series was a lot more expencive (in R5 you could buy a car for 1100€ and race a full season, 8 races, for the same amount.) so i stopped racing.
Now i just try to get to as many track days and track meetings that i can afford instead.

The attached pics is the R5 i used back in '99, 80 hp and about 690 kilos. On helluva fun car to drive. Wonder if it's still alive?

Now the R5 Junior series is no more... Sad They took the step up to Clios instead. I got an offer to buy last years winner R5 for 1600€... Would be real nice and insanly nostalgic to have one again. We'll see. Smile

Best Regards,
