Old Skool video of an Audi rally service crew doing a box change in 15 mins at the side of the street with no airtools or anything even close.

At least the Audi lads had parts, check out this brilliant vid at 33 minutes when Ari Vatanen's diff lets go and the Ford boys don't have a spare:D

Ah yes...... back when men were men and headbands were in fashion!

Nice vid alright, must be a posh area of Amman judging by the cars in the background, nice shiny 911 there as well. Interesting to see how things have changed, nowadays there'd be a twat in a hi-viz with a clipboard repeatedly shouting "You can't do that here".

Blue850's vid title is apt as they truly were the greatest years of rallying when cars weren't so far off what you could buy in the showrooms.

I'm sure the driver of the Audi is Saeed al Hajeri, or Sideways Al Hajeri as he was nicknamed when he competed in the Circuit of Ireland (in 1986 I think) in a Porsche 911

they told him to go to the main dealers, and either get a new diff or a new AXLE, and to send the bill, basically what-ever made him happy. Capri owner = legend!
