Just doing a bit of youtubing looking for Group B stuff, then I thought I'd stick in Mcrae and Subaru.

Maybe sial, but so what....

That Petter fella could do with a few lessons of this bloke, eh..?

 

Helps that he is driving a classic and not some bloated monster the size of the starship enteprise

 

Oi..!!! I've got an 07..!!

True it seems though.

 

I reckon Colin could do with some lessons from me, bloody part timer.

 

Only jostling although I think its a combo of solberg not being half the driver Colin was in his hey day, and the car failing to keep pace with the competition

 

Come back colin all is forgiven!!!

Think your right v8voodoo-petta could do with some lesson off him.

 

How fast is that in a simple manual shift Impreza with no Carbon anywhere?

May be modern WRC cars are lardy and there are only 2 real hard chargers in the contest and neither sadly drive the Impreza.

Colin in a modern Impreza?

WRC might suddenly become popular again!

 

Sounds good to me!

 

LOL and i remember everybody slagging colin off and calling him "Colin Mc-Crash"

 

Brilliant!!

THat's what made Rallying exciting.

Mr McRare that's what he is!!

This is SIAL i know but this just says everything about colin,no matter what competition he is in he gives it hes all and just keeps pushing himself and car to the limits

YouTube - Colin McRae - X Games 12 Rally

 

He did destroy more than his fair share of Impreza's to be fair Thats why so many loved him though, he always drove absolutely on the limit...didn't always pay off but **** me it was good to watch!!

 

class, the good old days of rallying with mcrae and burns. think the only reason he got the nickname of mccrash is because he was always giving it a 110%.
that is simply amazing to watch.

 

 

Awesome loving the x games footage!!

 

the guy's a fecking legend

 

And i think the FIA/WRC/Subaru/etc all know this is what is missing to bring it back to spectacle it used to be.

 

I think you are confusing the WRC spec of car with the road car there.

I'm only guessing but I suspect the 07 WRC car would make your classic look like a right lardy arsed fatty on the scales

 

I am sure Colins 555 would make the 07 car look like the titanic on wheels,thats what I was insinuating

 

Good Point.

 

I watched the Rally Fever on Sky last night, Ilse of Man rally full of WRC cars and ballistic Irish pilots. Just so good to watch, fast furious and frantic, **** weather then dry and on tarmac slicks, just fab.

Colin was there too in his demon MkII Escort and was up to 5th overall till the diff snapped.
That's 5th amongst all the £250K WRC cars Impreza's and EVO's.

The hour was great, the coverage was clean and simple, and the people real.

The Impreza's were fantastic...if only Colin was in one.

Flat out, risk taking and dramatic, cool in and out of the car.

Surly a marketing man's dream come true, but Subaru/Prodrive knew that 10 years ago and (two) legends were born.

Colin and the Impreza.
Burns came and did the very same thing.

Graham.
