Yet another fine piece of french engineering collected

[pshome]

On the road today with the trailer; up north to the "state of early risers".

 

 

Short coffebreak and on to Halberstadt, "the gatway to the Harz" to collect what has been grandpa Richard's joy and pride for the last 20 years.

 

So what did i bring home?

No, its not a v8 Tagora.

First hint:

 

 

[oman5]

Audi coupe?

 

 

Edit: duh, you did say French!

 

Yeah, bx.

[Hertz]

Citroen BX?

[pshome]

Audi coupe?

Didnt know the french engineered these.... did they?

[Squire_Dawson]

Some form of Renault is my guess.

[pshome]

another hint:

 

 

[twosmoke300]

505 gti ?

[Felly Magic]

Seconded for the 505 GTi

[Junkman]

505 GTI.

Uberdaft tailpipe requires immediate ditchage, though.

 

Whatcha using for pulling? Is that German? Do you really want to break down?

You're pushing your luck.

[robinmasters]

I think the exhaust pipe is on the wrong side for a BX.

 

EDIT: beaten to it. 505 GTi.

[hairnet]

505 GTI.

sportage or skoda?

I'm going to go 505 V6, just to be a bit different. Colour coded spoiler points at being a series 2, so it's feasible.

[pshome]

This was to easy for the audience! Next time i will have to find something more exotic.

 

 

Actually a "505 SX injection", that's how they labeled the 1990 GTI's here.

 

Actually bought it to strip it for the parts i need to get this up and running:

in order to get appropiate power under the hood of that:

 

 

Now am in a bit of a dilemma, the 505 is in excellent nick.

 

No rust, runs smooth, fine interior. Old man really cherished it, even paid a new alternator, water pump, batterie and shocks less than a year ago. Would be a shame to break it just for parts....

 

I will drive it through the winter and then decide... may well be, i will have to find another 505 for the the Danielson engine parts  .

 

Gas station pic of course made at first opportunity:

I plea guilty, will revert back to appropiate pulling device next time.

I know the Tagora is a rare old beast and everything, but from those pictures it would be criminal to break that Pug, I've not seen one look that good in a very long while.

[purplebargeken]

That is one really nice looking car, too good to break.

[twosmoke300]

Woo hoo. Winner

 

Don't you dare break that

[pshome]

Went with my buddy Michael, telling our ladies "we are out to collect a rusty crap car just for the parts". The moment we saw the car, we both looked at each other and thought the same: Shit, now we need to find space in the garage for the new family member, explain it to the ladies and still have no parts for the Danielson engine. Life is fun!

[fordperv]

That is lovely looking

[Mr Lobster]

That does look nice, be a massive shame to break that really.

[forddeliveryboy]

Never knew German road traffic laws allowed towing of old French chod. Surely way too unsafe - anything could fall off at any moment!

 

Nice buy. Don't break the poor thing...

[DS20]

Very like

 

 

Pleeeeeease don't break it

[stuboy]

needs some alloys

[Alexg]

Stunning. Keep it in one piece

[garethj]

I plea guilty, will revert back to appropiate pulling device next time.

 

 

*faints*

[Parky]

It's only now as a sad old man do I really appreciate what a handsome beast the 505 is.

 

I want one!

[Junkman]

Ya breaka this car, I ruina ya face.

[MarvinsMom]

as much as the Tagora is a WHIIIIINNA, breaking up that 505 would indeed be criminal, with out a shadow of doubt.

[pshome]

Ok, won't brake it for now, but only if you guys find me a set of alloys and a complete "evolution kit"!

Feel free to add some other nice things you find in the accessories catalog, its still xmas time.

Haven't seen a 505 in any shape or form for ages. Always thought they looked good though and this one certainly does.
