Dubpryncess 16 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Does anybody know what happened to the Sky Blue Mk3 with the x2 VR6 engines? Used to see him at Pod all the time. Used to be called Big Dub. VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,456 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I remember the car. Saw it a couple times in the flesh so to speak but not sure where it is these days. Dubpryncess 1 Link to post Share on other sites
RBPE 198 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Ian Birch built it didn't he when he used to own Dubsport? I grew up with Dubsport on one side and Awesome GTI on the other, used to see al their creations all the time, good inspiration when you got sick of projects! Last I heard about it was by a photographer who took some pics of it about 2 years ago. Edited April 1, 2017 by RBPE VR6CABBS, VR6Pete and Dubpryncess 3 Link to post Share on other sites

It was Dubsport's I think, Ian Birch build back in the day, Awesome were probably still in Rawtenstall back then with their Peachy mk1 clipper kitted VR6 - God I love a clipper kitted mk1! It was around the time video's were made via potatoes too! VR6CABBS, VR6Pete and Dubpryncess 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Last pic I saw of it I think - my fave/possibly 2nd fave car ever! Toss up; Or (with silver Azev A's crystal/red rear lights); EDIT: No, that Awesome GTI mk1 is officially my fave car of all time (alongside Aventador TT).

RBPE 198 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 I'm feeling nostalgic and missing the 90's so a few more pics of their creations..... Awesome's G60 mk1 which had a double feature in Max Power with the peachy mk1 which made me love the mk1. Speaking of Max Power, remember this? Ah, those were the days!

vr6 bez 3 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Used to love seeing the dubsport creations knocking around I used to go to school just up the road and remember seeing A17 UFO flying up and down the road. He has built some animals. He built a white caddy van with 2 S3 lumps in it as well a few years ago Link to post Share on other sites

OllieVR6 0 Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Since the thread ran for over 2 years, and we had a mass panic in the middle - sorry I mean pandemic (always forget the 'dem' 😆) - I don't feel too guilty as the resurrectionist... I remember visiting DubSport in 2004-ish (all the way from Suffolk) to have work done on my MK3. Had a passenger ride in some kind of modded, early R32. Err... they certainly knew those roads well didn't they! Link to post Share on other sites
