When Sue Baker met Michelle Mouton

[heebeegeetee]

With the sad passing of Sue Baker, who apparently was replaced at Top Gear by one J. Clarkson, I hope nobody minds if I post this nice little film of the day she co-drove for Michelle Mouton. I think it's a great little film, I like the bit where, though she'd co-driven on rallies before, she'd never been driven that quick before - and you can bet Michelle was probably only at 7/10th on that type of event.

I enjoyed that thanks - loved that Phil short was about 7 feet tall!

That was excellent. Although early ‘80s TV does not look very dated.

It was interesting seeing the reaction of someone with co-driving experience to Mouton’s speed. It emphases the contrast between club level and a top pro.


Out of context quote:
“Ooh! It squeaked at me”
“It will do if you do that.”

Enjoyed watching that, brought back many memories of standing in the forests in Wales and Kielder watching that era of rally car.
