Into French and Japanese cars from the 90s. Dad of 2. Makes bad decisions about cars. Should probably put the spanner down.

It's a no pas, no sunroof car, I don't think there were any other options? Any mods, original exhaust, suspension, intake?
Unfortunately not, so I won't be able to buy it.π

Working hard chasing friends in faster cars on track, 2 Caymans in the Clio and a NC in the Accord (and killing a tyre).
Going from Garda to Como in a rented Panda in a very convoluted route (no satnav).
Driving overnight to my brother's on the north coast of Scotland.
It's good when people identify themselves as someone I want nothing to do with, saves a lot of time.

Great job. Surprised there is no clear coat, is that all colours?
Probably for the best, as on all of my Peugeots the clear coat is peeling like so.
Should get sorted then, and you'll find out how good they are. Best of luck.

GT3 looks really good, what is it running on? The resolution looks too high for a PS2.

Not road legal though. Not unless he puts proper plates on it and updates the colour on the V5.
Should have known you'd be on it!

Still, I'd spend my Β£24k on a deconstructed Clio V6, being a Renault / Alpine GTA and a FWD RS Clio.
I guess that makes the BBC talking about the weather at Glastonbury the most British of articles.

Warwick is good. The press shots for Ian Callum's Vanquish 25 were taken just the other side of the church (St Mary's) in the background.

But then France didn't get the Clio Trophy...
Awesome find. I'd forgotten that the Rallye was 8v and not a barebones GTi. Nerdy observation of the use of phase 2 on the text but S2 in the table. I've always thought of 106s as S1/2 but 306s as phase 1/2/3 and I don't know why that is.
