Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo de la 405 Mi 16. Le son du moteur qui monte à l'infini dans les tours est addictif... La première fois que j'ai vu une Mi16 c'était à la sortie de Bourges à un feu rouge. Je me souviendrais toujours du son du 16 soupapes à l'accélération au feu vert, Wouahhh !!! Un plaisir pour les oreilles de passionnés...

I had the 405 8V back in '90. Marvelous car for durability, sport driving and gas mileage and just plain good car. Your stretch driving over the crest of the road and not being able to see ahead reminded me of a 9:30p drive one summer night when I had my dad's 220Sb 4 door out on a similar black top in the farm lands outside of town. The dips in the road were more severe. I was going too fast having fun with that airborne feeling you get on such roads where when the car landed you could feel the tires waver. I came over the hill top at speed and all I could see was the reflection of about 8 cows' eyes looking at me in the dark. I hit the brakes hard and stopped just in time. They just stood there and looked at me like, "Moo?" The cows were loose in the road from a nearby farm. Luckily I gave the car back to my dad in one piece; very quietly and Never drove like that again, night or day!! Sometimes we are just plain lucky in this world. Another time, in my teens driving in farm lands after a hard rain, I came over the rise at 60mph and there was the lowest part of the road with about 5-6" of rain and the 180D front end was in the edge of the right hand side ditch and I had a fraction second to figure out what to do. I could feel a little drag on the steering wheel and the rear tires were still on the pavement. With no power steering I decided to try and find a little steering to the left to gain traction of those 13" Ireland radials and gradually work my way back on to the road with the tires bouncing a bit from the ditch. A little more to the left and I suddenly felt the front end true up and I came back into the lane by the top of the hill. No other car with 50/50 balance could have done that other than the '57 180D. On pure ice roads up in S.D. that car just walked away from others on the road. I don't want to write about the Honda CBX experiences; I don't want to let anyone know I was that stupid.

@@autosnob Me Dad and I drove from St. Louis south to Laredo and then to Monterrey and on to Mexico City back in early '70's in the 304. We went up into the mountains north of Mexico City and the high compression motor of the 304 that took premium gas was limp at 12,000-14,000 feet elevation (everyone was passing us on the road). One place up the mountains was so high you would take 5 steps and get tired; there were translucent little fish in the lake and goat farmers were blocking the road. I had the luggage rack on top with an extra 145-14 tire just in case. He was driving late in the day on one stretch and in the distance in our lane was a string row of 5" rocks (painted white) across our lane. No road signs or anything to mark the excavation tench across the lane. I yelled out from the reclining passenger seat, "ditch" but it was too late and Dad almost flipped the car trying to miss the trench. The damage was a bent right front rim with the inner tube bulging out between the rim and tire bead; the tube tire had saved us from an accident in the middle of nowhere. We drove on to Saltillo and found a tire repair shop that could speak Spanish (humour). I took the bent 3 lug gray rim from the roof and showed it to them and the 3 or 4 men in the shop shook their heads. "no bueno" was the comment they echoed. I grabbed a 4-5 lbs hammer and started bending the rim back to a circle and they were impressed with the gringo's direction. When I got tired of hammering two of the men would take over. Progress was slow and we straightened the rim good enough to use just in case. I had thought there would be Peugeot dealers in Mexico but not. We drove to Mexico City and rested 2 days and then on to Orizaba with Popo on our right and to Veracruz coming back up the Gulf to Tuxpam and Tampico. I ate a steak dinner in Tampico and got dreadfully sick-I wanted to die. San Luis Potosi was also beautiful. Just a little 5,000 mile run in the 304.

@@autosnob OK (don't call me stupid). I had the 180D-'57 on my second year going to SDSU and would drive the 650 miles route from mid state MO up to Brookings through the beautiful corn fields of Iowa, then, over to Council Bluffs. That 180D could go 70mph but took a while to get up there. The roads were black top and narrow and hilly in that run of Iowa. Being a junior behind the wheel I came up behind a semi with a load of steel on the bed. He was going rather slow due to the rain on that fall day. I attempted to pass in one of the dips of the road and the vision was not good. I pulled into the left lane and kept accelerating. There in front was a 55-60 years old man with a hat on in a Ford station wagon looking straight at me-eye to eye! I did not have time to say words, XOXOXOXOX. I jerked the wheel quickly to pull back in and was relieved that I made it. My stomach felt funny and tight. "Boy, that was close" I kept saying to myself. Drove on a few miles and then noticed it: the Mercedes radiator emblem was on its side; I had pushed it over when hitting the undercarriage of the trailer. Boy, that was close. Never did tell Dad about that one.

@@autosnob Thanks for the reply. Do you still have this car? And ok, given that you can source parts, although maybe not without some waiting for shipping if they're coming from Europe, how feasible would it be to daily drive a car like this? And would it be difficult to find a good example these days? I'm assuming it is. I'd like a Euro spec example that I could import or one that's already imported. Maybe it would be easier to find a Euro spec example over a US spec one if you search ones for sale over there? An alternative (and one that I am equally wanting) would be a Euro spec 306 gti-6. I don't know if you are familiar with those models but I'd love to find a clean example and import. There was one a while back on Cars&Bids (an auction site if you're not familiar) and it was available for auction located here in the US. Nice example in black.
