Great set! Well caught, sharp, superb saturation.

And I love those old Escorts! Wow, they take me back.....

Immaculate collection of shots and excellent variation, certainly brings backs lots of good memories of good times.

. Can you tell me if pic nr. 7 is a peugeot, I always thought that model was front wheel drive but in that shot it would def appear to be RWD.

andreasthess · 13th of May 2009 (Wed)

It is a Pug 504,as the Pons said before,and i thought it was a FWD as you,but in this rally there was another one of those that burnouts in the same corner as this one

so,they are definitely RWD
