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
I'm afraid today its more office hours rallying and trying to milk as much money as poss out of the poor spectator
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
The good old days are gone
Brill Vid John, it brings back a lot of fond memories

Yes they did
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
What a white knuckle ride that must of been
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.
NOW THATS MOTORING
