Excellent selection, as always, but that “electric959” on 993(?) wheels almost made me nauseous…

- Good eye— I didn’t catch that. Looks like 964 Cup wheels.

That might the sexiest photo of an Opel ever taken.. (a modest claim I guess, but I like it).

Also that MB 190 (?) racecar – love that thing.

I love this website.

I’d pick the Peugeot T16 over the Renault Turbo. I’d normally prefer rwd to 4wd, but I hear the Peugeot handles better.

The Fulvia is sex on wheels.

- Thank you sir!
  
  I also like the look of the T16 better than the Renault (just).

- My relationship with that Renault is not a rational one. If ever one came my way and I was in the circumstances where I could buy it, oh yes…

  - I’ve seen 5 Turbos for sale in the states. I have yet to see a T16 over here. I wouldn’t kick a Renault out of bed, but they always seem to command Testarossa money. I imagine maintenance costs would probably be close to par between them, but I’d be looking at a gray market TVR or something with a cage and a logbook for that amount of coin anyway.

- I do agree with you, i would pick the t16 over the r5 anytime, but the 205 pictured here is a modified 205 by Dimma, a belgian coachbuilder, with permission of Peugeot. ie a standard 205, factory kitted, with maybe a tuned motor 🙂
  Nowhere as prestigious as an original t16, but it kinda has some cult around it in dark corners of the internet ! (only a few where buiit by dimma in there plant, the rest came as body kit)
