Default Ahhh fond memories!

I started watching this last night, but I didn't realise it was over an hour long, so I just finished watching the second half of it

Takes me back to my childhood. I have to say the favourite for me was the RS200, shame it didnt get much chance to prove its worth

I actually saw an RS200 police car years ago. It was where the M3 meets the M25. Couldn't believe my eyes.

I was quite young, but I recall these times very well as my dad was a bit of a rally driver himself with BDA and BGG escorts and many other cars. He also was the first ever person to replicate the rally stickers, and the reproduce replacement decals for Ford, so that on its own got me to lots of rallies .

Some pics on a tribute I started, but never finished

The rest of the pics need scanning which I will do one day and share with you all, some amazing pics from the rally days.
