run your cursor over the white box and see if it starts (thats what it took for me)

and make sure you have the newest flash player

Great carchoice! 205 GTI is one of the coolest cars around. I miss mine sometimes. Definately gonna buy one again.
Are you running in standard enginewise or is it tuned? What suspension setup do you run?

Gimme a 205 GTI, a snowy winding road and some left foot braking =)

its a pro rally car, engine is pritty standerd for teh champ that we were in. the suspension s pro rally gear on teh tar is rock hard. for teh gravel it was higher.. tire are from a cheep dealer as the champ is aimed at new young people looking to get into the sport but they do bloddy work tho. there is so much grip out of them when they are warmed up..
the car has now about 15, 000 euro put into it.

to change the car from tar to gravel and run in that 2 day rally cost about 8000 euro. it was a bit expensive for us but we needed the points. ( that dident turn out too good )
