There was a good article about group b rally cars in Car Magazine last month (Jan07 issue). I thought it was quite interesting.

Have a bit of a soft spot for the good old escorts. Its just the sound of those webber carbs

The sound of a big set of carbs growling down the A47 bypass!

And possibly the car that ended it all with Tiovonens fatal accident (combined with several spectator deaths and other serious driver injuries). Got to love the sound of a supercharger + turbo combo though. 0-60 in 2.5 secs...on gravel!

yup, those where the days. Going sideways more then going in a straight line just because of the power and the tyres that were nothing compared to what they have now.

Funny is that the sound of the porsche is a pussy sound compared to the audi or lancia.

You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.

Good Vids but had a lump watching Toivanen. The good old days I remeber well

And a few sad black days too





If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.
