I was lucky enough to be able to tag along with the New Zealand
Peugeot Rally team when they came to Perth for Rally Australia last year.
The car was awsome and was keeping the factory SEAT's (with 6
speed sequential change) at it's side for the first couple of stages until a
TDC (top dead centre) censor went short circuit and the computer didn't
didn't know when to spark or when to squirt. In the end, it had to be
towed back to Perth and, once the censor was replaced, it was back to
normal, unfortunately not able to continue in the Rally. But later on my
dreams came true as I was taken on a drive through the back streets in
the 306 and it literally blew me away. I have never felt such speed in all
my life. It literally flew! And I thought my 505 was fast.
