yep - McRae was a legend - and Richard Burns never really got the recognition he deserved for winning the WRC - before or since his untimely death  :(

The passing of an age..

Just like no more Escorts in rallying was the passing of another age.

Don't knock em Lizzy. I had a WRX for 2 years. It was the most enjoyable and competent car to drive that I have had - by a long way. And the MV6 is quick (and competent), but not even close to it for 'making progress' on country roads on a nice Sunday afternoon.

I have nothing against them really Bandit, but they always seem to be a little pretentious, with a lot of noise for a small ugly car, with usually, in my area anyway, so often a baseball caped wannabe racing driver youngster showing off in it acting in a bloody stupid manner in 30 mph zones. (Yes, I know we were all young once!! ;D ;D)

I can think of so many cars I'd sooner have, like a 1600E Cortina Mk2 :-* :-* :-* or Mk1 Escort 'Mexico' :-* :-* :-*, or a Carlton 3000GSi  8-) 8-) 8-)in the "old" car range, or a modern Mustang which has beauty, power, and real presence, but of course I know that is purely my opinion as a speedy mature woman, not a young boy racer! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

I put on my tin hat now, thinking of leaving the room......... :D :D ;)

Apparently Mcrae was just about to return to Subaru before his untimely passing :(

Will they go on to some other "in" vehicle that remains "cool"?


Citroen C4 HDI anyone? Somehow doesn't ring the same as Scooby WRX

See, I keep telling my 8 year old daughter that I am 'Daddy Cool' well looks like I am....... :y :y :y


Seems that I am still not cool, might be a C4 but it's a Picasso and my 16 year old says that is not cool ::) ::) ::) Then he started talking about the Peugeot 106 he thinks he wants next year ::) ::) ::) only 5 minutes since he got his Scooter..........where does the time go :( :( :(
