Well for once I dont mind being old;)
I was into rallying big time when group B hit the world championship so having seen all of these cars up close in action was mind blowing:eek:
I'm afraid today its more office hours rallying and trying to milk as much money as poss out of the poor spectator:nono:
I long for the days when you could just park on the side of the road walk into any part of any wood and watch the action:D
The good old days are gone:cry:

Brill Vid John, it brings back a lot of fond memories:thumb:

Great Vid, the spectators used to take there lives in the hands back in them days didn't they.
Would love to of been able to see cars like that in action.:(

Yes they did:eek: and when loads started getting killed it had got out of hand.
The first car in the clip AUDI s1 was a real beast between 600 - 700bhp:eek:
What a white knuckle ride that must of been:cuckoo:
At the time they were doing back to back tests with F1 cars at some of the circuits in europe and the rally cars could do a lap time that would equal 4th on the grid at a GP.:thumb:
NOW THATS MOTORING:cool:

cars used to get to the end of stages with human fingers stuck in the grills where plonks had leaned out to touch the car!

his that where the phrase giving them the finger comes from:hjtwofing
