Yay! I was car 75 in a Group B Escort RS.. Sadly retired on the 4th stage Sutton Park.

It has to be said that William Woollard gave a lot of enthusiasm to these Rally Reports. Clearly he loved rallying, or if not came across as so . These nightly broadcasts were fantastic; really enjoying reliving them.

Today we have Collin Clark of Dirtfish.

Watching Rally report on a big old Ferguson, wood effect TV as a child was wonderful on those cold, November evenings. 😊

[@eddiec438]

Great how the commentator shuts up after a few words and lets you hear the car. Wish todays lot did this...

[@mosca3289]

2:40 you could see Wilson's engine is on the way out even though he's flying along at this point

[@jamesrobert4106]

Rally stage on a pasture. Talk about slow going.

[@byronmills5952]

Quite how Michelle Mouton coped with that Quattro Sport.... absolute pig of a thing to control.

[@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin]

Oh stop gushing. Her teammates controlled it and won with it. She was a great driver, but never could handle the newer Quattros very well.

[@jamesrobert4106]

​@@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettinThe short wheelbase Quattro won ONE single rally. Nobody could handle it.

[@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin]

@@jamesrobert4106 It won 27 rallies, 39 podiums, and hundreds of stage wins. To which Mouton contributed maybe 10 stage wins. She preferred the long wheelbase Quattro, and returned to it whenever she got the chance.

[@jamesrobert4106]

@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin The S1 Quattro won 1 single rally. San Remo in 85.

[@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin]

@@jamesrobert4106 No, imbecile, it won 27 rallies. It won 1 of the 8 rallies it took part in which contributed points to the WRC championship that year, and podiumed the rest.
