With 105 horses, the 850 kg weight, this strong old woman, moreover, is certainly no slouch.

Cars of today are digital, this Colt Turbo is completely analog. It is the OG under the hot lead, and for his time a pretty impressive piece of engineering. This hoodscoop-tastic copy is from 1983 (an excellent year) and is already 32 years old. Tweeëendertig years in which he by his two previous owners with love is treated, because the old woman is still in mint condition.

Moreover, it was the Colt (a name with the Space Star in the grave was worn) with some features of its time far ahead. BMW Drive Select? Bitch please, old-school Mitsubishi already had an old-school lever next to the gear lever to switch between Power and Economy.

It weighs even less than the Alfa Romeo 4C, and has, like the Alpha, no power steering (another feature that indicates how ahead of the curve Mitsubishi at the time). And no ABS, ESP, traction control or aids. It’s just the man and his car against the elements. Or not sometimes, Günther??

More pure than this, it is not, therefore, also the call is for men with chest hair. But like the houthakkerstypes, craft bioknagende hipsters may feel free in the coffee shop behind their pure triple-soy decaf pumpkin latte crappacino and Macbook to their movie script/novel/new startup continue to work.

For a visit to the High North”, the bug is in Appingedam. He has 106.000 km rotated, and the asking price is a solid 7 mille. For that price you also get a free bandensticker on the left front tire there.

Thanks to Arno Lommers for the tip!
