I raced a '86-88? 505-sti turbo-diesel (metallic grey), with my '87
505-sti 2.2l gas (metallic grey) on the boston post road through two towns near
my home in CT. I didn't see him coming on my left as I got going from a red
light, the race was on. He looked about my age ,late teens, but he didn't seem
as amused as I was when I pulled up on his right to chalenge, as he pulled away
I heard, for the first time, the loud hiss that accompanies an accellerating
turbo diesel. Ah, but he was no match for me. I had just installed new plugs,
wires, dist.cap, and some hoses. I made quick work of him, then slowed down
just before one of numerous speed traps. He passed on the left one final time,
toot-toot. God I love peugeots. Can't make to the meet, maybe next year. By
then I plan to have the car in peak condition. Oh yeah, all the 405 drivers
I've encountered here fail to notice thier more elegant cousins, I think
they're jealous.
