Steering wheel colour aside, that's glorious. http://www.romansinternational.com/car/1380/ferrar...

Nice one Ol 
Is it odd that whilst I would like to own many of those pictured, I am most enticed by the thought of a drive in the 205 as of this second?
Was going to post the same last night! 205 Rallye and R5T2 have got to be top of that list for me!Is it odd that whilst I would like to own many of those pictured, I am most enticed by the thought of a drive in the 205 as of this second?
Do love my old skool hatches. Speaking of which, my 106 XSI project was meant to go to paint this week so I need to pull my finger out!

Pug was mint, restored and standard apart from the rims and steering wheel. And for sale: ten grand would see it on your drive in the UK. Most people would howl with laughter or bemoan that when they were once a grand or so but those days are gone, get over it. In fact I think it's a very sensible and fun place to put some money. Actually I've thought of nothing else since I got back.Is it odd that whilst I would like to own many of those pictured, I am most enticed by the thought of a drive in the 205 as of this second?
Delta and Stratos were given no mercy. Both were on maximum attack, with every last drop of revs used, all in the correct setting on closed roads with huge drops and against the clock which, especially for the Delta (a totally original and highly preserved ex works specimen) was particularly admirable given the near priceless values. Amazing to see one in it's natural habitat, doing what it was built for, on full chat with a driver who knew what he was doing.
Blue 911 won the event, and the BDG equipped Mk2 was still the most spectacular though

If I was the GT3RS owner and had just dropped EUR230k on a new "mota'" I would certainly weep in my helmet because I could not shake off a lowly M3 which is 80bhp down on power and a good 200kg heavier.
The RS driver is also a dick - the fact the M3 has appeared in his mirrors means one thing and one thing only - it is quicker... We are not talking about a good old dice, which I am sure we have all had - Joel, remember the Italian Hinny against the Bavarian Wurst ? - but a guy with an ego so heavy, it actually slowed the GT3RS down.
Anyways, the idea of the video was that the M3 E9x, although boring and blander than the E46 M3 as a driving experience, is a stonking car if you want to go very fast for not a lot of denarii (in relative terms).
Ah yes the Alfa 75 vs the E30 325i?

I have been having impure thoughts, mainly due to the paucity of examples of the Clio 182 Trophy for sale. Such impure thoughts are currently revolving around these:
And also these:
205 GTis are nucking futs right now though - I don't mind the idea of £10-12k for a mint example, maybe even as much as £15k for the right car to the right person, but £20k+ for the lowest mileage ones is shirley taking the pesh?! Crazy times of low rates and cheap money...
ETA: 986 S it is then...
