He’s getting his $12000 investment on his Merc exhaust back, fairly quick on YouTube views.

Stopped watching after 5 or 6 minutes but did the youtuber get the same exhaust?
Because that merc 600 wasnt his as far as i know

But i do appreciate the sound.

Fair play to be rallying fairly valuable classic metal like that, and Yank tanks too. :eek: I'm most impressed by the Mustang, it was handling better that it should have*. More upgrades and spares available for them maybe?

*I've driven one. Not in anger, more mild disgruntlement and even then it handled like a drunk bathtube on roller skates.

The Duke boys would be in trouble with that Swedish opposition!

Great sense of speed on a great circuit that thankfully hasnt been murdered with chicanes and pointy corners by Hermann Tilke:

Disclaimer: I don't condone illegal street racing of any degree, but I have to admit the videos are a guilty pleasure of mine.
Videos like Ghost Rider on the Hiyabuss Turbo etc..give me a rush. And nobody can change what happened in the past so why should I not watch them?
Also I don't see anything in the charter about not posting them.
Just saying this in case people start personal attacks of flame wars.

How would an Escort MK2 fare against them?

One of the most successful rally cars in history? Pretty well I'd imagine?

Its so nimble compared to those tanks. I'd say it'd scorch the pair of 'em.

Not quite as quick as Kalle Rovanpera though ;):D
He has some fairly handy teachers though in his dad Harri and Juha Kankkunen. I really do think he will be very quick by the time he will be competing on full international rallies.

He is 11 now and is getting even faster

Been watching this youtube channel for a few years.
Their long term project is absolutely brillant, a Plymouth Fury rebuild from spliced donor Dodgle Dart.

The main guy, Scott is an incredible metal worker & paint guy; repairing panels by beating them out, rather than using filler & making new panels from scratch.

Its a massive 26 parts so far:

Fantastic car that Audi. Proper review from a proper reviewer too. Interesting how suspension priorities can change ove time. Today it's all short travel and rubber band tyres for the 'Ring times, with that Audi it was long travel, more sidewall, while still keeping the chassis under control and predictable.

tossy · 19-02-2020 08:53AM

Can't beat Harry.

As cars get bigger, heavier and faster brakes get bigger so wheels must get bigger and rubber thinner.

Oh very true T, but the style/fashion and ring times are big influences too. Even basic runabout cars have been influenced there. Those Audis ran around 1300Kgs dry, 0-100 under 5 second, got to 250 Kph and the brakes living under 15 inch wheels could still detach your retinas. There would be very few cars even today that would keep up with that yoke on back roads.
