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?

Cos the pug road going cars are crap compared to a 4wd turbo ;)

Won't have that problem at Subaru though!

The recce cars have to be 4WD.

Ford use Volvo's

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

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.

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.

Is the Evo a Tommi Makkinen edition ;-) even more ironic

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.
