I'd personally have not gone for Hockenheims.
Something more period perhaps. An old compomotive rim maybe.

This was my first car.
It's a shopped image, but it's the same colour and is virtually identical
If I could afford to run two cars, I'd get one again, but this time with something a bit larger than the 1100cc engine that was in mine 1.1 litre and RWD - what a waste

Oh, yeah I know it's a Mk2 - I don't like the Mk1's as much

A well driven Mk2 can keep up with an Ex Works WRC, so they're hardly slow!!!
McRae used to own a BDX Engined Mk2 - had a good look around it on the 2002 McRae Stages they rock!

Fortuately that wasnt me Scott, that was Shug in his RWD 205. Looks like the same car, but his has wide arches on the back to cope with the wider 309 rear beam.
We had overheating problems so had to retire at first service 
There was a clip of me though! - fame at last on BBC1!
