I'll take a WRC Spec'd car any day. Ogier's fiesta (http://www.wrc.com/en/wrc/news/december-2016/ogier-livery-/page/4147--12-12-.html) is a good place to start!

I get it's a a very cool race car and the dirt and crud show it's been doing battle on the track, but I'm WAY too OCD to appreciate those pics...

just pass me a rag and some soapy water...

Know how I know it's OT season?

The first two responses are complaints to an absolutely bad-a$$ car.

Thanks for sharing.

Guess it's a case of you see what you put out there.

I dug the car and wanted to continue the modified racer stoke, as they say. I could have put a link to the c3...:)

Ahh I see. The car in the link you sent makes me think of a C31 and from there everything enviably ends with "the red pig" which is sexier than both cars pictured. Ha :beer:

A wonderful era of motorcar splendor indeed.

having grown up when the ford gt40 captured the 1966 lemans 1 2 and 3. my favorite car ever. to this day i still think that the original gt40 was a masterpiece and the followup from like 2003-2006 wasn't bad either. now the new one is probably more sophisticated but something is missing imho. call me old school. i don't know. can we over engineer sometinng?

was simply poking fun at my 'condition'...there was nothing negative about the car.

Something about seeing a purpose-built machine, well, looking like it's actually capable of serving that purpose...
