Met Mr Burns up a mountain and he gave us a few minutes of his time. Top bloke but why was he doing rally work in an Evo?

View Full Version : Why was Burns reccing Spain 2003 in an Evo? jon44w 05 November 2003, 10:02 Met Mr Burns up a mountain and he gave us a few minutes of his time. Top bloke but why was he doing rally work in an Evo? http://jon44w.com/images/Misc/burns3.JPG jon44w 05 November 2003, 10:03 http://jon44w.com/images/Misc/burns1.JPG Chip 05 November 2003, 10:05 Most of te teams use Evos as recce cars. Dont know why though. Chip. paulpalmer 05 November 2003, 11:02 lol :D quality pictures :D SPEN555 05 November 2003, 11:07 Cos the pug road going cars are crap compared to a 4wd turbo ;) Won't have that problem at Subaru though! davyboy 05 November 2003, 13:29 The recce cars have to be 4WD. Ford use Volvo's drumsterphil 05 November 2003, 14:02 Burnsie has an Evo as one of his cars and since he lives in Spain was probably nice and conveniently to hand. Class pics :D ProCo2020 05 November 2003, 15:06 Peugeots Recce cars are Evo's. I believe his own personal Evo is probably his old Evo4, if he still has it, he may still have his old RB5 aswell. PeterStone 05 November 2003, 18:38 He sold his RB5 to someone on here i believe. PeteS Chris L 06 November 2003, 11:41 If my memory serves right - don't Ralliart supply recce cars to whoever wants one? Hence the reason you see so many Evo recce cars. This also explains why we saw Ralliart trucks in Germany even though the Mitsubishi team weren't competing this year. Chris Ratman 06 November 2003, 18:41 I'll have one!!! :) Who do I phone? Ratman MY98 Wagon rb5 286 07 November 2003, 21:55 who has his RB5??????? Andy Murdoch 08 November 2003, 00:31 Peugeot don't make a decent 4WD motor with decent HP that can be related to a WRC car???????????????? Dark Blue Mark 08 November 2003, 23:49 Yeah, who got the RB5? It was no 001. MB Sloaner 10 November 2003, 23:34 why did he sell it? If i had a car named after me - i think id be keeping it. Is the Evo a Tommi Makkinen edition ;-) even more ironic johnfelstead 12 November 2003, 14:51 Ford use Volvo recee cars http://www.johnfelstead.co.uk/rally/wrc/cyprus_2003/images/DCP06362.JPG Peugeot use EVO's http://www.johnfelstead.co.uk/rally/wrc/cyprus_2003/images/DCP06354.JPG Citroen use EVO's http://www.johnfelstead.co.uk/rally/wrc/cyprus_2003/images/DCP06358.JPG Skoda use Skoda's (didnt take a picture of that) :D Subaru use Subaru's http://www.johnfelstead.co.uk/rally/wrc/cyprus_2003/images/DCP06353.JPG DR Motorsport 14 November 2003, 00:05 John, Hyundai also used EVO 6's (probably that's one sitting behind the EVO 7 in the second picture) Where those pictures from Cyprus or Greece? Ford also used a wicked Land Rover for the Safari. One was used as a Course Car on a Scottish Championship round this year. David |
