Some very oldskool rally footage

Excellent stuff.

In a similar vein, but with an amazing(!) soundtrack:

Fantastic. Especially the lady.

Wow they're going so fast!

Awesome video :-) What is that? An old Lada? I didn't know they were RWD?

I bet that nudie bird does.

They were pukka group B cars, even though they only had a 1.3 engine. But, the shell, suspension, engine and brakes was all modified street stuff, lightened, balanced, braced, and skimmed/drilled away, rather than now in the WRC where it just looks like the road version, but has nothing else in common (Pugs/Cit/Skoda/Others).

Pukka group B cars had 4wd and 500bhp :-)

Nope, those group B cars were beaten by Skoda in the proper ones.

Oh yes. A mate is thinking about buying one, and we're all trying to persuade him to go for it. That video was one of our tactics

you didn't know a lada was RWD! all most old shit was, just the new shit that's dull :( even shit cars was RWD in the oldie days!

Vamp, you need to take some English lessons!! :)

lol i ALMOST agree :)

I'm sure the one they modded on TG wasn't was it?

Yup. And it was drifting about nicely afterwards, ISTR. The comedy handling before they fettled it is proof that RWD is not necessarily better than FWD.
