I mean, there are always more potentially, but realistically, unless a 991.2 GT3 fallsin my lap 70% off, that's it.
I have wanted that car for 34 year +/- but figured it wouldn't happen.
To most of you here it'll be a weird Euro pile of poo from the late 80s, relatively flimsy, noodle thin A pillars, no ABS, no power anything. Not even a door on the glovebox. A scant 1.3 liter of fury fed by 2 dual webers. Barely 100hp and change ... but... 680kg / 1500 lbs. You read right. Even Lotus cannot do light like that !
So that's a Peugeot 205 Rallye. That spartan car was the cheaper than GTI entry to the rally Group N, which gave people like Seb Loeb access to rallying. There is no way I can ever import it to California (25y rule is trumped by the SMOG rule) but in new developments I can store it in Europe and drive it once or twice a year while vacationing. Does it make sense ? not at all, but they doubled in price in the last 5 years and I am done playing chicken.
After quite a few modern and faster cars this lightweight buzzing bee makes me happy like I can't believe. We've grown so accustomed to complex machines with 500 hp and electronic everything. This has nothing. A steering wheels, a responsive gas pedal, zero safety, off you go.
Parts are a joke... A CV joint broke and I noticed a leaking M/C, $65 and $45 respectively, LOL. Beats any happy pill!
Incidentally, Chris Harris agrees with me (and that video probably cost me 1/2 the car price increase, check it out)
