You must be jesting, Hell would surely have a Fiat and something British in there...

Sign me up.

Sadly I sold the X1/9 to get the XR4ti. I'm still on the hunt for a Rover SD-1.

Your driveway must be a superfund site with all those leaks.

What a collection. I don't think I've ever scene a Scorpio in a very long time.

Good luck with the new ride! I just saw a very clean Biturbo in either metallic brown or gold, I was on the train so I couldn't investigate. I actually think I saw a quattroporte.

I know where there is a quattroporte that has been sitting for a very long time, maybe I should investigate.

Look at how much quattroporte parts cost and you will see why. Like $2500 for new shocks, $3k for a gasket set, etc They do look pretty cool though.

Thankfully I wouldn't even know where to look for quattroporte parts. I think what you do is find another quattroporte and steal its parts, to hell with the owner.

An older mercedes is starting to sound down right economical!

Too bad fiat 130s are so expensive, one of those would fit in well with that collection, or a Citroen SM.

Actually, the Biturbo doesn't leak, except for from the cluth slave and a new one is on the way.

Wow, the Maser looks really small in that pic. I always thought they were bigger than that.

Wait, it's shorter, lower, and wider than a 3-series? Crud! Now you're making me want one.

Actually this is making me one one, but fortunately I can't afford it. OH THANK YOU GOD.

...I'm going back to looking at Citroens.

Those measurements are all great save for the front weight bias. Probably not something that's too easy to fix unless you want to start yanking the A/C and power steering (assuming it has power steering). Cool looking car! Hrm....

it does seem a bit nose heavy... and with a wider rear track and wider rear tyres.. I bet it can understeer with the best.. until you break the rear's free

Meh, my Lotus is worse (but it's FWD.) Weight bias isn't everything...

All you're missing is a turbo Peugot.

I agree with you. My classic 900 surprised me with how well it handles

A buddy in Saskatchewan has a 505 turbo 5 speed. That thing MOVES with da b00st cranked! Watching him rally-x it on a smooth gravel parking lot was hilarious, 50 foot rooster tails of gravel, massively sideways, and the right turbo noise goodness.

Too bad it took him 3 years to get the parts to get it running!

I'd say he needs a 1g MX6 as well, but they're too reliable.
