Of the current stuff, it has to be Fast Freddy, but all the Pro Mods are wonderful. Other than that, probably John Sleath's Audi, Tim Garlick's Super Mod Cortina and the (I think) "Grounds for Divorce" Firenza, although I've forgotten who drives that.

Absolute favourite of all time would have to be Vanishing Point.

Definately a second vote for Freddy and the rest of the Pro Mod bunch here.

Havoc is a work of art too, shame it is going to be mothballed.

As said, any of the promods, altho I prefer the more blunt style over the "snowplough" look.

Big fan of any late 60's Camaro, love the metamorphosis car.

Steve Greens original screamer cortina

Bob Batten and black mass, a wheel standing marina from the eighties.

Paranoia, jag altered, lovely little car.

the pages original Panic funny.

Im sure theres more.

Have to agree on both of these. Paranoia is currently being rebuilt. I know Brian Thomas well, really nice guy.

There was a black coupe doing shake down runs last year which I think was a '38 Chevy? I haven't seen anything of it recently but they seemed to be having real problems making it go straight. Great looking car.

Yes that's the one. Has it got a new paint job now?

The only added paint is primer, it hit the wall twice this year and i don't think the budget extends to a new paintjob at the moment!

Great choice MotorPsycho! thumbup Havoc... cloud9



I'm trying to get a copy of the photo showing Havoc launching on [barely] one wheel earlier this year. I'm a big fan of ICE's work - I'm strapping myself behind one of their tall-deck small blocks at Spa later this month in this:


But back to Fuel Altereds... this photo takes some beating IMHO!
