...racecar to show the way of the nostalgia look and also the man who was behind the project : uncle keith

in 97 who was talking about the old racecar , the Bible was recently for sale, and keith made us the flashback a nostalgia racer with a resemblance in inch pincher too  , but in this time, nobody still spoke about the nostalgia look, I think that flashback would still be on tracks nowadays if she wasn't sale
keith have you regretted the car Huh


i never seen the car in real , indeed in black at lege cap feret at super vw nats

I think uncle keith said himself once "that car was 10 years ahead of its time" I just don't think many people REALLY got it Smiley

It was ahead of it's time back then,but loads of people got it too. KS got a standing ovation at the pod when he saved it from going into the rail after a huge wheelie. He got out and took a bow Cool

I got it. My roof-chopped nostalgia gasser came out in primer in 2000 and in paint in 2001, 13" front wheels and everything! Wink

Flashback did look fantastick just in plain black with BRMs too, but the green flames just didn't do it for me! Embarrassed

This takes me back... Sad

Front tyres were 155x13 – seemed to look about right and offered some reasonable grip.

I used a Bridgestone (I think!) 165x13, but my front wheels were a bit wider! They're on the front of Rob Kilham's (East Coast Manx) bronze buggy now.

They should be! I bought them new in 2003ish when I changed from the 13" 8-spokes to the 13" Saco rims. They had a 155 at the tyre place but the sidewall just looked too new. Smiley
