You have arrived at the "PROJECT". This all started as a daft idea in my head to photograph a history of cars,hot hatches to be exact and now it's grown into this website, a book may even follow!
This will be very much an ongoing project, as currently I have a list of over 70 cars that I consider to be "iconic hot hatches", some of you may agree, you may think some don't deserve to be on the list, some have been missed off, but that's the beauty of it being a rolling project, you can get in touch, tell me what you think, offer your car for pics, and very soon get involved in the forums.
As i've just mentioned, this site will change and grow LOTS over the coming months, so keep watching!

-Of you've got something, contact me, and i'll see if I can get it photographed!

RENAULT MEGANE R26.
During its life Renaultsport made lots of tweaks to the Megane, each one improving it a little bit till we ended up with the R26. 230BHP, limited slip diff, superb handling a real drivers hot hatch.
Then Renaultsport went one better, stripped it out, lightened it, made it very focussed and called it the R26-R, one of the best drivers focussed hot hatches ever.
