The original intention was to feature a BX 4TC video today given it quite adequately fulfils the quirky Citroen brief. It's also of course a Group B rally car which automatically qualifies it as deeply cool. But this could be even better than any BX video. Really.
For five years running during the 90s the ZX Rallye Raid won the 'World Cup for Cross Country Rallying' and took four Paris-Dakar victories as well. In the best rally raid tradition it looks nothing like the car it's based on; the Citroen ZX is a run-of-the-mill FWD hatchback or estate and the Rallye Raid is a two-door four-wheel drive Dakar weapon.
This video is rather amusing as it involves Jeremy Clarkson grimacing thanks to Timo Salonen's driving. When the former gets in for his own drive the real rally driver accuses Clarkson of driving like his mother. Top stuff. Let's see which curios the internet throws up next!
