my stereophile friends liked it 😄

[steel geyser]

why would you

[calm field]

cos I got offered a bunch of money for it and the buyer is a driver instructor for Skip Barber so I know it's cared for

i don't think I'd want to be maintaining that car nowadays either - it'd be waaaaay north of 200k miles

only knew of the 205T16, the 306 from the mid 90s, the 206 and the 405

but not that car

also where was this 205 used that was in DR2.0 and which is said to be from 1991?

not quite #pitstop but you get the idea

it was used mainly by Peugeot Sport Italia in their home championship

why is it a "boomer moment" that makes no sense

[spring finch]

Because you have to be a boomer to afford a mint mercedes in this economy

[calm field]

no you don't. a mint 190e like my old car is worth less than a used vw golf

i will guess that bc you consider it a boomer moment you probably aren't old enough to have a proper driver license

[uneven prairie]

I would love to have an old Mercedes

[calm field]

they really are not expensive

now a pagoda sl... that's getting expensive

[uneven prairie]

Yes the issue is convincing someone to buy it

[calm field]

it's the maintenance

[uneven prairie]

that's why I went back to vw from my C230k

i was happy to see it go

[uneven prairie]

[calm field]

i needed a cheap car fast at the time

it was $3500

the w203 is a good chassis, the automatic and 1.8k engine kills it. I'd love a C43 but only available with flappy paddles

It's a Michelin car. Tbf Michelin owned Citroën between the late 30s and 1974 or sth, so it's not surprising

[zenith tundra]

I am surprised Michelin owned Citroen

[rustic helm]

they were a big shareholder and got the control of the team when they went out of money in the 30s after the high development costs of the Traction Avant

[zenith tundra]

and PSA then took over from 74?

[rustic helm]

yes

not sure what year exactly, but i think it was 73 or 74

about when the first petrol economic crisis striked

they had also spent a lot of money to develop the SM

because Citroen (so Michelin) also owned Maserati at the time

you can see it with the latest Cooper cars using a Maserati engine.. and a Citroen gearbox

[buoyant nebula]

ok now time to start this off on the right foot

the Ferrari F1-2000 and the Jordan EJ10, my 2 favorite-looking cars from the 2000 F1 season

too bad the Jordan didn't perform as well as it looked though 😭

the man who won F3000 in 1999, yet won nada during his time in F1

[rustic helm]

he's still not won a race since 1999 has he

[buoyant nebula]

apparently he won the 24h of Le Mans in 2014

though since this is endurance racing, he was driving together with Nicolas Prost and Mathias Beche

outside of endurance racing though, yep seems like he hasn't won anything since 1999

oh wait apparently he won the Petit Le Mans in 2013 as well

[spring finch]

good enough for a win i would say, clearly a hulkenberg situation

[buoyant nebula]

yeah, except his curse was to get podiums and not wins, instead of solid points finishes and not podiums or wins

[rustic helm]

ok, he hasn't won in open wheelers.

[manic sierra]

The year 2000, Audi's first Le Mans 24h victory with the legendary R8

It won five times, and in 2000 took Tom Kristensen to his second of nine Le Mans victories, alongside Frank Biela and Emanuele Pirro, each five time Le Mans winners in their own rights.

[wraith wagon]

Meanwhile:

With the series moving away from its German heartland the following year, the Super Touring championship took over. Armin Hahne took an unexpected victory in the first heat for Honda, while Emanuele Pirro won for Audi in the second. But the event was totally overshadowed by the death of Nissan driver Keith Odor, killed instantly when the Audi of Frank Biela ploughed into the side of the Primera during an unavoidable multiple collision.

A new chicane was added at roughly the spot of the Odor collision in 1996 and the STW Cup made one final visit, but the writing was definitely on the wall. Apart from a brief flirtation with the production tourers, the accident - and the construction of the nearby Lausitzring - spelled the end of more than 70 years of racing. The final races were won by the Opel Calibra of Stefan Kissling in May 1998, with a farewell event for veterans the next year. After this, the autobahns of south west Berlin reverberated to the sound of racing engines no more.

(The end of AVUS)

[thin pecan]

appreciate Nick and Jean sending Prost basically into bankruptcy with everything that went on in 2000

[wraith wagon]

and biela ending the life of AVUS, not just odor's life

but you can't spell 2000 without 206

The Peugeot engine was new and fragile, the car was probably quite shit as well. It's like blaming Russell and latifi for scoring 0 pts last year.

[zenith tundra]

I mean

Alesi coulda gotten a podium in Monaco if his car didn’t broke down

considering how like half of the leading pack blew up in different ways

well the fa1l truly fa1led so...

[buoyant nebula]

you want dangerous? here's the B193

shoulders slightly exposed too

slightly but yeah

[rustic helm]

Not that dangerous

Look at the Renault re30b

Or any 1982 car probably

The FA1L used a very outdated Alfa Romeo engine.. think it didn't even have electronic injection. And osella never really have the funds to make a correct chassis

[calm field]

exposed shoulders?

where do you think the feet go?

[zenith tundra]

well

[steel geyser]

Tyrrell P34 is pog

[calm field]

you just look at something solid with the nose of that benetton and your legs get destroyed

that looks hella unsafe

[calm field]

excellent use of hella. A+

yes in the 80s a lot of driver feet were ahead of the front axle

[steel geyser]

RIP feet if there is a nose on collision

[calm field]

that's what i was sayin

[lofty pivot]

they were so far forward in the 80s

it made the cars look strange and was way too dangerous

[summer ledge]

Dangrous?

[rustic helm]

nah would never happen.

[buoyant nebula]

oh yeah 80s F1 cars seemed hella unsafe

with those seating configurations

feet literally right at the front tip of the car

[rustic helm]

1979

[buoyant nebula]

yiiiiiikes

[rustic helm]

ikr lol

[buoyant nebula]

imagine having a serious accident in one of these

[rustic helm]

well you break your legs

if you're lucky you can recover and still continue in F1

[buoyant nebula]

yeah, but maybe not as good as you used to be, e. g. Olivier Panis

[rustic helm]

ye

[buoyant nebula]

so sad that he had that accident, he could've had such an amazing career

and he was doing so well in the JS45 too

[rustic helm]

idk many drivers who have kept on having a very high level after a leg crash like this

[buoyant nebula]

Schumi did, but he broke just 1 leg

[rustic helm]

like, Herbert managed 3 wins

[buoyant nebula]

ye Herbert wasn't quite the same

but at least he got something

[rustic helm]

yep

[buoyant nebula]

no idea of any other drivers though

J. J. Lehto only had a neck injury yet that was enough to ruin his career

and Pedro Lamy was shafted by that huge testing crash that put him out for the rest of the 94 season

oh and Karl Wendlinger as well also with a neck injury, he did return in 95 but was nowhere near as fast

oh wait

since the most recent year allowed is 2000...

that means this beauty is allowed here at last

[thin pecan]

Pedro Lamy got shafted by rules to take loads of aero parts off F1 cars

he fucking cartwheeled into a spectator access tunnel

[buoyant nebula]

yep...

and it's such a shame considering he was really good since he was 2 points away from winning the F3000 championship in 1993

and won the Pau GP as well

[zenith tundra]

Pedro Lamy's career is weird

I remember he was like doing alright in his first 2 years and then had a horrible accident in Silverstone which broke his legs and wrists

then he like had an ok stint with minardi and proceeded to then blossom in sportscars with Peugeot

[buoyant nebula]

yep

at least he got to succeed somewhere

meanwhile Franck Lagorce who also did well in F3000 in 1993 only got to debut in the last 2 races in 1994 deputising for Eric Bernard and never got another chance after that

even back then there were a fair few talents who never got a proper crack at F1 either because of bad luck or because of them driving for terrible teams

[zenith tundra]

or focused more on open wheel which then kills their racing careers

Adam Caroll is a good case because he looked good but he was too eager for open wheel and when he tried sportscars he was too alte

[buoyant nebula]

oof

though not quite #pitstop but still

[zenith tundra]

eh

i guess but there are some good cases like Pierluigi Martini ended up a Le Mans winner with Williams-BMW in 99

despite being in open wheel for like 10+ years with no major success

[buoyant nebula]

yep

also Ukyo Katayama who may have succeeded had it not been for back cancer, but also Luca Badoer, AKA the 2nd unluckiest F1 driver ever

1st unluckiest perhaps being Perry McCarthy

[rustic helm]

unlucky for getting a seat at Andrea Moda?

or sth like that

[buoyant nebula]

yep

and that being his only F1 chance

because he did test for Footwork in 1991 but he didn't get a seat with them

[zenith tundra]

if Benetton chose everyone but Patrese in 93 😭

[buoyant nebula]

didn't they consider Badoer for 93 as well?

[rustic helm]

hehe ye

erm

[zenith tundra]

yup

[buoyant nebula]

oh he only tested for 1993 alongside Alboreto

Alboreto would've been as weird a choice for the 2nd seat as Patrese was in '93 imo

[rustic helm]

no note of another driver seriously considered for 93 besides Patrese

they wanted an italian driver because Benetton is an italian brand

and Patrese was the vice champion, so the most logical choice

[buoyant nebula]

ah

[rustic helm]

although they could have taken Modena for instance

who wasn't too shabby in 91

[buoyant nebula]

so my memory was being funny and mistook 94 for 93

Modena was, uh, interesting

certainly decent but a bit superstitious outside of the car

[rustic helm]

well he's italian

evidamente he's superstitious

[buoyant nebula]

apparently he raced with his gloves inside out 🤨

and yet he claimed that this wasn't superstitious

nurbthink

[rustic helm]

didn't many drivers do that in a more recent era?

like, the gloves are sewed on the outside

[buoyant nebula]

no idea

whoa tmw Modena was F3000 champion in 1987

so he certainly wasn't terrible by any means

[rustic helm]

oh no

[buoyant nebula]

meanwhile Grouillard the mobile chicane was 17th

[rustic helm]

he joined Jordan for 92, which seemed like a good deal considering their 91 form

except they had lost the support of Coca Cola for the Ford engine

[buoyant nebula]

7Up, not Coca-Cola

but yeah

[rustic helm]

and had to use like.. Yamaha or some bs like this

[buoyant nebula]

also they had a fair bit of debt by the end of 91

yeah they used Yamahas

[rustic helm]

yes but Coca Cola is the owner of 7Up

aren't they?

[buoyant nebula]

pretty sure it's Pepsi though?

[rustic helm]

no

yes Pepsi

my bad LOL

[buoyant nebula]

it's oke

[zenith tundra]

i know Stefano was some kind of great in Monaco

somehow

[buoyant nebula]

time for something evil

[zenith tundra]

he qualified like 2nd in a tyrrell

[rustic helm]

ye

[buoyant nebula]

the Jordan 192 in its testing livery, basically the 1991 livery but without 7Up and with Barclay

and oh yeah he did

[zenith tundra]

f1/2 moment

[rustic helm]

moment

[buoyant nebula]

miss when we had these kinds of results more in F1

[rustic helm]

Alan McLaughlin

[buoyant nebula]

oh lmao

[rustic helm]

hope i didn't botch his name

[buoyant nebula]

pretty sure that's his name yes

[rustic helm]

i forgot who was my teammate at McLaren, was it Flibble?

[zenith tundra]

yea

I think loop was in tyrrell

[thin pecan]

Badoer was considered for 94 as well

[rustic helm]

Zed was at Jordan

you were at Williams, but with who?

[zenith tundra]

boki

[rustic helm]

ah yes

[buoyant nebula]

oh yeah Badoer was, but apparently he was kinda scared for whatever reason

so the seat went to Lehto, initially

[rustic helm]

no?

they chose Jos the Boss

Letho wasn't the first choice iirc

[buoyant nebula]

but Lehto got a neck injury in testing so he was replaced with Jos for the first few races

he was iirc?

[rustic helm]

they paid lots of money to steal Jos from Ron Dennis

[thin pecan]

Lehto was a pain

[zenith tundra]

i love Lehto because he seemed insanely good but he never had great luck

[thin pecan]

and the guy did homicide

or manslaughter

[buoyant nebula]

wait are you talking about the boat thing?

in 2010

[thin pecan]

whatever he is now a prick

[buoyant nebula]

yeah it was manslaughter because he was drunk as hell

yeah

[rustic helm]

yikes

[buoyant nebula]

not exactly a great idea to go riding a boat on a river while drunk, much less with someone else

[rustic helm]

i've been on a boat while tipsy, didn't kill anyone

[thin pecan]

i think jos verstappen has also always been adamant Benetton were cheating

John Barnard has always explained the noise thing people picked up was because of the way Michael drove the car

but i'd rather not go on another rant on how the FIA and Bernie Ecclestone failed to nearly fuck over the 1994 season

"before 2001"

[steel geyser]

ahh okay

[buoyant nebula]

yeah it's before 2001, so 2000 is the latest acceptable year here

2001 will become acceptable next year though

[steel geyser]

airbox checks out

guess I've got an eye for showcars

back in the day they even repainted a FW17 into their 1998 livery lmao

[zenith tundra]

happens when rothmans leave

and new sponsorships take place to new identity

[buoyant nebula]

an Rothmans-era car with that livery, evil!

this though is by far the better of the 2 Winfield Williams liveries

oh wait this is #pitstop lmao

[hollow hazel]

aaaaaaa

[zenith tundra]

@buoyant nebula

[buoyant nebula]

ah yes the Winfield Mitsubishi livery

[zenith tundra]

i was watching like old wrc seasons

and like Tommi coming back from a big ish deficit after having an unninspiring season is insane

because like he goes on a murder streak the last half and wins 3 rallies in a row.
In australia he like had like 3 minutes loss but he managed to do some impressive times to get ze W

obviously what happened in GB was sad but it was

a very interesting shenangin

[calm field]

the red car above is a Mercury Capri which was based on the fox body mustang. the box flares were stock. imo it was a better looking car (potentially) most were sold as a "lux" mustang

[worthy flicker]

i thought it looked bit like a foxbody

[calm field]

that last 917 shot really shows off how small those cars are

[calm field]

oh yes

goddamn what a sexy car

[rustic helm]

Looks like a Camaro idk why....

[calm field]

I've seen one identical in person. sexxxxxxxy

even in stock form they're gorgeous

[rustic helm]

definitely. shame they didn't sell for longer

this above is the stock rims? cause these BBS are certainly options

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1985-bmw-m635csi-28/ whatcha think of this

[calm field]

i like those, but super expensive to service here in the usa

and yeah those are stock M1 wheels

i looked at a euro M6 about 15 years ago, it was nice but the engine needed an overhaul and bc we didn't get the euro models here it was like $10k in parts alone to rebuild

15 years ago. i can't imagine what it'd cost now

it's pretty fast

I don't understand what you're saying but that's dope i guess

[calm field]

it's a neat, uncommon car

[glacial saffron]

oh right scirocco came before lol

Also non stock tranny
Swap?

[calm field]

6th gear extension, also custom ratios and a limited slip

Damn, higher top speed, and more traction

Sounds fun

that first photo on the page is at laguna

this is my dad and my uncle bob. my dad painted the car

and here it is at laguna

same car in action but with bob behind the wheel

@uneven prairie that yellow car is not a mclaren, it's a Genie with a Huffaker V8 in it

here's another angle:

[untold flume]

that's pretty sick

[calm field]

yep I was pretty lucky as a kid to be around this stuff even tho bob was done racing and only doing timing/scoring at laguna by the 70s
