Chris Harris video: BMW rallying

Harris is going rallying in an old 3 Series - this video tells the story so far...

---

After several months in the shed, the 325 was coaxed into life late last week. If I was mildly infatuated with the concept of cheap, sideways fun - having used the thing I'm now going to become a complete bore on the subjects. Sod track-days, a session at Phil Price's in a 325 is motoring heaven.

A stop to buy new tyres

The plot of this little caper is entirely self-explanatory, the conceit behind it is simple. I want to do this in the correct spirit - hence my tatty old Range Rover and the slightly used trailer.

Apologies for the lack of words - it's a bit hectic at the moment, but I hope this home-movie of four chaps having a weeny adventure inspires just a few people to try something similar. For many folk it would be a much more rewarding experience than owning an expensive road car.

Enjoy the vid

Looks like fun, reminds me of my mate and I in my Marina 2000 and his Maxi in our works carpark on a Saturday afternoon... After a decent snow fall. Ripped out a whole row of bushes with some awsamm oppo lock antics in the Marina, the Maxi was just hilarious head on understeer into the verges - the groundsman was bemused on Monday... Tee hee...
