[nicolas]

hey Fred here is one for you!

this is my dad's new toy. it needs some work on the engine to deliver all it's smoothness and raw power, but this car is in great shape.
it is a 83 model

[empicolector]

Im not in to new cars much, but that thing is sick!
The only water pumper VW I want is a MKII GTI with a 16v 2.0 and a G60 blower strapped on. Full on rally suspension for lots of smiles

I could say that when the turbo start to sing your are stick on the seat really
only 10000 KILOMETERS and the car is on warrenty but when she loose it I will imediatly to OTTINGER to increase power and sound with complete engine stage1 pack
yesterday I was playing with 993 CARRERA2 and the guys didn't realise what happen
the car with QUATTRO system is like on .... rail  , when its rainning for quattro its like sunshine

Any of the new S-series Audi cars are a blast to drive and they handle INSANE. Rick, that white VW is wild lookin'! Is that the new one with the V12? Nicolas, your Dad's 6-series is nice and has a lotta potential. I never cared for those fender garnish/trim things. Hopefully, getting them removed ain't a big deal. Always had a soft spot for the big two-door BMW cars. (3.0CSi, 635CSi, 850i)

Close Mark it's got a W12 in it.

[Rennsurfer]

D'OH! Okay... is it mid engined?

[Rick Meredith]

Yep motor is in the back seat like a Renault R5 Turbo.

Here's the VW Vortex article on it http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publish/vortex_news/article_2007.shtml

NICE! I've been hearing about that project. Looks to be a mini rocket.

Speakin' of R5 Turbos (the only French car I've ever liked), here's one that I shot last Sat. morning.



While we're on the subject of other car... here's a few more that I shot that day.

Interesting G.T.O./El Camino conversion. Tastefully done, if you're into American cars.


Not a big fan of English cars, but there ARE a few... behold, this incredible Aston Martin Zagato.


My alltime fave Mercedes Benz since I was a little kid. Note the D.K.P. car on the right. I forgot his name... met him at Nick's, the previous weekend.


Another old English fave o' mine... I dig Cortinas.


My favorite car of that day was this Audi R8. Nice to finally see one all one color. Usually, they're painted either silver or black just behind the b-pillar.


This Jaguar undercarriage is rather impressive.


Yes... I'm a car nut and I love taking pictures. HAHA!!

My '26



Hot Rods, Mustangs, Brit and Italian cars. Anything Porsche.

WOW, Rick... that's a cool lookin' car. That would be fun to shoot in black & white.

OK... let me get this straight... you went to Cars & Coffee and you didn't call??? 

I'm only 3 miles from there! 

Black and white?? How about a little sepia tone? I was messing with Photoshop and...

the white one is a RENAULT 5 TURBO2 she's got mid engine too and this a pretty rare car too did you know PEUGEOT 205 TURBO16 STREET VERSION ?

[Rick Meredith]

R5 Turbos were imported into the US but I don't think the 205 was.

They had to make 200 road going versions of all group B rally cars. There used to be a guy near my grandmother that had a Ford RS200, awesome seeing it spit flames round the lanes 

[Rick Meredith]

I have a huge sweet spot for the RS200... all the Killer Bs were really cool though.

[alfie the monster]

The ultimate Group B rally car imo

[Rick Meredith]

I remember when Michelle Mouton brought that to Pikes Peak.

Rick, I'm sorry... had I known that you were into that... I would've called. I'm actually thinking of going tomorrow, but not quite sure what the weather's gonna do. I got my silver car all cleaned up, too.

Empicollector, those Renault R5 Turbos were actually runnin' around southern California in the '80s. They're kinda obscure, now. I never knew about the Peugeot mid engine car. Thanks for the education.

Alfie, I fully agree... the Audi Quattro is the best rally car in my opinion, too. Always wanted one of those or at least a GT Coupe back around 1984 or so. NICE cars.

[alfie the monster]

I took these at the Goodwood Festival Of Speed a few years ago. I can't wait to go again this year, they have a forest stage for the rally cars

I've been thinking about purchasing an E36 M3 as my daily driver. I had one in the past and that was the first stick shift car I ever drove.
Funny story about that. Actually not so funny.
I'll start a different thread for that.
