My mate had one of them Den in a gold colour. He was a loon in it, in fact he was a loon whatever he rides or drives.
Love that, Mark...as I recall, Brendan (EnFuego owner) was also a loon. Wonder what's causal? If I recall correctly, he was the only one in my friend group who had a turbo...I was driving a 1972 Chevy Monte Carlo with a 402, so a turbo wasn't needed...

Tbh Den, all I remember it was a Fuego and at a guess as we were all paupers it would've been the cheapest version.
That Chevy must of been a bit of a beast.

It was...could literally watch the fuel tank drain itself in real time. Good thing gas was under a USD then...!

I remember those days and fuel even cheaper being in Jeddah Saudi Arabia and tearing along the Corniche in Trans Am 6.6's
Cadillacs and Chrysler New Yorkers Fun times indeed.

It’s a replica Lennon RR, but very well done.

The DS was incredible in that bold colour - almost orange - and would grace any collection or better still used as a daily, if you lived somewhere warm.

Far too much old French stuff on here for my liking and because I don’t post on here often I going to add a little French hot hatch that often gets overlooked. Silly money when new at 24k and some probably never liked the boy racer colours but I always thought it looked ace with it real carbon fibre body and interior bits, 18 inch wheels and body hugging sports seats plus it was a fun drive. Very rare back in the day with about 124 made but a lot of fun these days for about 5 to 7k. Citroen DS Racing.

Looks like good fun to peddle, but also like one of our kids has been let loose with a highlighter pen.

That Tron Lamborghini has a lot to answer for.

Judging by how many are for sale in Euroland. I would say that 124 number was probably what came over here. The boys 90bhp ds3 is fun. 207bhp is bonkers.

I think they earmarked 155 I believe and there are around 121 left. At 24k in 2011 that was a lot but I cannot help think at current value it’s a great little hot hatch for the money. The Clio RS was brilliant but looks a tad boring next to this for me.
