Ngobusuku bokuqala basehlobo balo nyaka, elifanele igama, kwaba nokumangala okuhle kimina: ukuhlangana kwezimoto IPeugeot 106 Rallye esimweni esimsulwa-okuyinto eyivelakancane, ngendlela. Kube yihlazo ukuthi uThom noma iMaccario bebengenayo ikhamera ngesikhathi ilungile...
Ngabona le Peugeot 106 Rallye futhi ngangikhumbula ekhaya ngempela ngeminyaka yawo-90s kanye nezimoto zayo ezincane kakhulu - "ezihlanzekile", abanye bazosho. Ngangimkhumbula kakhulu ngaze nganquma ukunikezela imigqa embalwa kuye...
(…) oomakhenikha bamavolontiya, isisindo esiphansi, ubumnandi obuqinisekisiwe. Akukho ukuvumelana!
IPeugeot 106 bekuyimodeli ezalwe kahle kakhulu. Ifezwe kahle futhi ithembekile ngokomshini kuzo zonke izinguqulo zayo, kwaba intokozo yezinkulungwane zentsha (hhayi nje kuphela…) iminyaka eminingi namakhilomitha angaphezu kwalokho. Yayinezinhlobo ezimbili zezemidlalo: i-XSI ne-Rallye - kamuva, esigabeni II imodeli yayizofinyelela kunguqulo ye-GTI engu-120 hp.
I-XSI ne-Rallye zabelana ngenjini efanayo, ibhulokhi 1.3 litres (TU2), ku-Rallye ekhiphe u-100 hp kodwa ku-XSI kube ngu-94 hp . Yize i-XSI ibibafanele labo abafuna izithasiselo zezemidlalo, iRallye ibingekho. I-Rallye bekuwumdlalo walabo ababewufuna ngempela umdlalo: umakhenikha osebenzayo, isisindo esiphansi, ubumnandi obuqinisekisiwe. Akukho ukuvumelana!
Ngaphandle, kwakubukeka njengemoto yomhlangano. Amanothi anemibala yomnyango wezemidlalo womkhiqizo, amasondo ensimbi anomklamo oncomekayo, neminye imininingwane embalwa eyenza umehluko.
I-Rallye ibitholakala kuphela ngemibala elandelayo: obomvu, omhlophe noma omnyama. Ngaphakathi wayephucwe amathuluzi. Ibingenawo amawindi kagesi, isiteringi sikagesi, noma kunjalo… lutho! Konke ukwenza imodeli ibe lula ngangokunokwenzeka. Isitezi esinomugqa obomvu sinikeze ukuthinta kokugcina "ngicela ungihlukumeze ekhoneni elilandelayo".
Ngazo zonke lezi zimfanelo, amaPutukezi azinikele ekululameni nasekusebenzeni kwePeugeot 106 Rallye. Imoto yayigcwele ukuthukuthela emaphephandabeni akhethekile futhi emgwaqeni idonsa umoya wezimpisi ezincane ezazifisa ukuthenga imoto yokuqala yezemidlalo.
Eqinisweni, ukusebenza kwawo bekungeqisi kakhulu, ku-0-100 km/h kuma-10s, futhi ijubane eliphezulu alimangazi - naphezu kokuba nabangane abafunga ngezinyawo ndawonye ukuthi bafinyelela ku-200 km/h embuthanweni. Asikholwe kanjalo (futhi yebo, bonke bayaphila futhi banempilo enhle).
Imvelo yemvelo ye-106 Rallye empeleni yayiyimigwaqo esontekile, lapho isontekile kakhulu iba ngcono. Kwakungeke kugwemeke, ukumamatheka okubanzi kulandele imiyalo yemoto eklanyelwe ukushayela ngommese emazinyweni.
Ikhuluma ngokusobala futhi iyabikezela, ilingana njengegilavu ezandleni zabagibeli abasha bansuku zonke, futhi ikwazi nokumangaza abagibeli abangomakadebona ngenxa ye-chassis eshunwe kahle.
Kwaba yimpumelelo kangangokuthi kwa-Peugeot balungiselela inguqulo ekhethekile elinganiselwe yamayunithi angu-50 emakethe yamaPutukezi neFrench, eyaziwa ngokuthi i-R2. Le nguqulo ibinezinto eziningi eziphuma ngqo esigabeni somqhudelwano wePeugeot-Talbot: ukumiswa kwezemidlalo, amabhuleki anamandla, amasondo e-Speedline angu-14, amabhande okuncintisana, kanye ne-exhaust ehlukile kanye nezinguquko zemephu ye-ECU ezikhuphule amandla kumahhashi angu-106.
“Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, ngaqhubeka cishe yonke imidlalo — futhi ngasinda! Bengiphuthelwa yiPeugeot 106 Rallye”
Ngemuva kwesigaba sokuqala sokuthengisa sebanga le-106, ngo-1996 kwavela inguqulo entsha eyabelana ngesisekelo esifanayo ne-Citroën Saxo.
Inguqulo ye-Rallye yesizukulwane sesibili i-106 yathengiswa kusukela ngo-1997 kuya ku-1998, futhi njengesizukulwane sokuqala, yayiyi-spartan kakhulu ohlwini. Injini engu-1.3 (TU2) iye yalungiswa kwase kungena injini engu-8 valve engu-1.6 litre enamandla angu-106.
Isuke ku-0 iye ku-100 km/h ku-9.6s kanti ijubane layo eliphezulu ligcina ku-195 km/h. Ngaphandle kokuthuthuka kwethiyori ku-Rally MK2, i-106 Rally MK1 iqhubekile nokuba ethandwa kakhulu kulawa amabili.
Ngaleso sikhathi, ngiyavuma ukuthi ngangikhetha umfowethu u-Citroën AX Sport, futhi kamuva nge-Citroën Saxo Cup phakathi kokunye — Ngicabanga ukuthi ngaleso sikhathi sasikhathalela kakhulu izimoto kunezingane manje. Kodwa namuhla, sengizodlula isithiyo esingama-30, ngiyavuma ukuthi bengihlala ngicabanga ukuthi i-106 Rallye yayiyinhle kakhulu. Kulungile, ngikutshelile.
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, ngangishayela cishe zonke izimoto zezemidlalo—futhi ngasinda! Bengiphuthelwa yiPeugeot 106 Rallye, kodwa angikakalilahli ithemba. Uma wena owaphasa iPeugeot 106 Rallye ngesekhula yesi-2 ngabo-19:00 ngoLwesibili (Julayi 2) ufunda lo mbhalo, ngicela ungithinte. Ake sibheke lokhu...
Mayelana nokuthi "Uyayikhumbula lena?" . Kuyisigaba se-Razão Automóvel esinikezelwe kumamodeli nezinguqulo ezagqama ngandlela thize. Sithanda ukukhumbula imishini eyake yasenza saphupha. Hlanganyela nathi kulolu hambo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, masonto onke lapha e-Razão Automóvel.
