Tim O’Neil’s VW Rallye Golf. Homologation special version of the Golf with synchro 4wd and a supercharged version of the 8 valve engine. 5000 were made, none of which were officially imported to the US for sale. Tim raced these back in the late 80s and early 90s. No idea where he found one this clean.
For those curious the red truck poking into the side of the shot is a Toyota Hilux.

I never really cared about the Golf Rally. Certainly a wonderful machine, but I don’t think it has e n o u g h of a “wow” factor - a friend of mine used to have one and was happy with it but not enthusiastic. Besides, it seems the Halda diff was really problematic.

You were at O’Neil’s this weekend?? God, I love that place. It’s not too far from me and I’ve been up a few times, most recently for an open practice where you could just rip around in your own car on a closed course. Anyway. They have SO MANY cool cars up there.

I was up there all weekend for meetings and instructor trainings for the drift schools this year. Laying down the curriculum for the new 2 day schools and getting the new instructors brought in specifically for the drift schools up to speed with how instructing is done at O’Neils.
