I agree. I love his passion. And the wee laugh at the end is just so natural.Rallying just does not seem the same anymore. I am with the OP about the sound of those escorts, Brilliant.:yes::yes::yes:

Can't remember if it was still called the Heatway, but I remember taking the day off school to watch the Mercedes team (and others)when they came out and ran some stages near home

The Heatway Rally was such a big event, there was even a board game...

Top Gear over the weekend had a BDA Escort vs new Focus. The Focus was faster, but the Escort was WAY cooler :)

Amazing that the Evo smoked the Audi.

Bought a v8 left hand drive mk1 escort,was an awesome rally car but sounded nothing near as cool as a 4cylinder when on the gravel.:sunny:
