Sensible cars are all well and good but you find you thrash them harder to make up for the fact they are so slow

I had a Gordini Turbo for my first car when i was 17(15 years ago )
To me they are old skool and not the GT Turbo,and they are built WAY much better then the GT Turbo and are much more solid as i found out when i rolled the fooker at 90 MPH ...but the dammage was suprisinly mimimal,maybe the hedge helped me out
Even back then uprated parts were quite hard to find,i got all my stuff from Radbourne Racing..i had Konis,Devil exhaust,uprated carb,turbo and head etc....the thing shifted!!
I was tempted to buy the Turbo2 body kit(it was called a Le Mans kit) for it,but the car was wasted b4 i got the chance...oh and the 3 stud wheels caused problems....if u wanted to uprate the wheels you had to go direct to a french tunning company.
Anyway the only pic i have is of my car a week before it was lowered so its sitting a tad high,soz about the quality.....digital camaras wern't about in those days,just kodak 110's

apart from that, looks wise, phase ones have non colour coded kit with slightly different arches, no rear spoiler, different grille.

Some D plate ones were full phase 1 spec, some were Ph1 spec but colour coded, some looked full phase 2, some where Ph2 barring rear spoiler and front bumper, etc etc.
The ECU position didnt change totally till F-plate either, tho some E-plates had it in the Ph2 position.

I have had 5 of these in my time.
Cheaky little hairdryers and to be fair, I have seen some go down the pod in 11's front wheel drive, which would smioke most of the quick cossies on here, how sickening.
