As encapsulated as I was by this co-driver's dedication and ability to stay awake for days drug free giving no instruction for hours at a time I realized that from about 44:20 I simply couldn't follow what he was saying. I repeated the segment many, many times and even used subtitles. I even tried other languages. I just can't understand him. I will continue my endeavor so you don't have to. Wish me luck

I remember using 4L on my Pajero sport going up a rocky steep hill. I let the car do its thing just as it’s mentioned in this video. It was scary but satisfying to know I worked with my car to make it to the top of the hill.

The only time to judge any car is in its era. Or against cars from its era. To try and find the best M5 of the last 30 years will be challenging and subjective.

For any people who live on properties close to a rally route or on the rally route to charge to pull a car out of a bog is not a common thing. The opposite has been my experience.

Remember it clearly , worked at United motors at the time . Had a VB with a 202 XU1 and WW Stromberg on it for ease of tune . Was in the pit crew for the Adelaide stage . We serviced it in the bush around Blanchetown and the Barrossa . Usual front struts , reinforced with a bit of of angle iron welded in to stop them bending . Middle of the night all piled in some support vehicle .Finally failed - interstate ,wrong plugs fitted at a GMH dealer !
