In amongst the predictable dross that’s rolled out during every festive period, the BBC produced something of a surprise in ‘Idris Elba: King of Speed’. Any programme that dedicates a large part of its running time to rallying and the Vatanen family goes down well round these parts.
But one car from the programme left the most indelible impression; the Metro 6R4. The noise, the stance, its underdog status in the Group B hall of fame, all served to create an excellent piece of television. That and the Rothmans livery, of course.
So it just had to feature as our first POTW of 2014. We actually posted this very image on our Facebook page a little while ago; it went down well there, so why not treat your home screen to it in full POTW format?
