Targa Rogues Gallery

Found this on another forum, these are photos of cars found on the side of the road by the sweeper/recovery vehicle on this years Targa.

Yes I know it is a bit ghoulish to go looking at pictures of crashed cars but hey, it was Halloween last night 8) . Best thing are the comments accompanying each photos - read the series of comments about the Audi, classic! :lol:
We know that four-wheel drive doesn't work in a racing car, and I proved to myself that it doesn't work very well for rallycross. I'm absolutely convinced that it has no future in rallying, either, even if the regulations allowed it. - Roger Clark (rallying legend), circa 1976
