Mike
Murphy from Toronto sent me these shots of the four of his eight
(!) PEUGEOT 505s that are on the road, and driven regularly. Two of
the other cars are strictly parts cars (one wagon, one sedan), and two
turbo sedans (both 5 speeds) could easily be put back on the road, with
time and money. Now let's start with: JetWhite - 1986 turbo wagon. Originally Delft Blue, with two previous owners in Rochester, New York state, it was abandoned with some serious engine problems and probably destined for the crusher. Mike paid $200 US for it and had Mike Aube, near Ottawa, fix it up mechanically. Changed the engine, exhaust, front suspension. Mike then road tested it for a year to make sure it was worth spending more money on - a complete paint job, including changing it to Polar White. It is a lovely cruising car and very good in the winter. |

RJ
- (short for Argent - silver in French) is a Winchester 1987 V6/auto
STi, this car had two previous owners, one in the Washington DC area,
and then a German-Canadian man then living in DC, who later moved to
Illinois. Mike bought the car off the Internet and found he had the
most amazing coincidences with this individual! It is a very cosmopolitan
car, good at everything, but Mike doesn't drive it in the Canadian winter. |

Rob's
Car - A 1987 turbo 5 spd S sedan. Mike
MurphyI got this car for free from Rob, a gentleman in Calgary,
Canada. It had some serious engine issues to resolve, and a lot of minor
issues, but like the other cars, is clean and straight.

Aube again did the mechanical work. Mike had it repainted it in its
original Delft Blue. It is a very fun car, driven only during the summer
months. |

Suzy-Q
- A 1988 GLS 5 speed wagon, which Mike bought from Jim Lill, in Rochester,
NY. This car is his designated winter machine, and with four snow tires,
can go anywhere in the winter. Mike has done things that 4x4 Jeeps have
not been able to do. On wider summer tires, this is actually a very
fun car to drive; it is remarkably light and manoeverable. Jim had it
repainted in dark Volvo blue. |

a missing headlight. It's a project car after all... Some pics were
taken at Pike's Peak where Rabin was a mechanic on a Ford RS200e driven
by Stig Blomqvist! |
