A Peugeot. For historical reasons.

Can someone just call Adrian Newey and ask him to resolve and submit his workings? May as well ask him for his two penneth worth on Moles and tank tracks whilst you have him on the line.
Adrian and I exchanged looks of subtle recognition in a hotel lobby this summer. I'm sure he'd take my call :lol: :lol:

Correct, except it wouldn't've looked like a Peugeot, it'd've looked like a VW, because that's what it would've been...until you made it look like a 458;




All that's irrelevant of course next to whether or not it should have a raised bonnet.

Maybe could try this on my 124 Spider?

It’s already got the #RALLYSPEC black bonnet

I'd be particularly interested in the temperature of your boot.
