At least, they were a lovely pair of 3 Cyl. Turbo Charades. But sometimes, things happen. But more on that later...

Damian and Mellissa may very well have been the only couple in Australia to be driving 2 Charade Turbos. The black four door belonging to Damian and the white two door, belonging to his ex girlfriend, Mellissa. Both cars were running the CB60 turbo engine, not a bad little piece of equipment, and very reliable. Mellissaís had a turbo

Enough to make the little sucker get up, and boogy! Damians on the other hand was running up to 20 psi with an MR2 intercooler, water spray, standard turbo and 2.5 inch exhaust with modified secondary jets. The car has run 15.2 on 18psi boost and the intercooler hoses blew off near the end of the track. Damian points out that the turbos from these engines arenít at all happy running at 18psi, and has several dead turbos lying around the garage to prove his point. Damians black 4 door, is currently still under transformation, and we will hopefully

imagine what it will be.

As for Mellissaís 2 door. Well, after someone T-boned the lilí Charade, it had to be written off.

The question remained was, "Did Damian and Mellissa part because Mellissa no longer had her own Charade?". Maybe some questions are better left unanswered.
