Super sideways, between walls and spectators and kerbs, in something as short as a 6R4, on tarmac...

I have done with KM - in his 207.


(I'm the gurning fatty in the car. The flat capped chap is probably L100NNY's Dad.)

Suffice to say, it was amazing. smile

The 6R4 is my favourite rally car of all time cloud9

The noise, the drama, the stupidity - mainly the noise...

Mine too. I have been fortunate enough to have a a passenger ride in one - must've been built on the Longbridge line; I could exit the car without opening the door.

Good to see the 6R4 being driven how it was intended - Sideways & very fast.

I loved the way that Colin was looking over his shoulder to see where he was going to stop - or maybe he was just making sure that there were no trees in the way.....

Pity that there arent any like him in WRC these days.
