Also the people on the Bespoke Rallies stand about the Slartibartfast rally now if only I had £10K and a rally prepared Ford Prefect... There's a frood who really knows where his towel is! Do you think you can get Nomex dressing gowns? Cool photos. I would have loved a closer look at the Andrews mk2 Escort as it looks like one of the tarmac specials. A bit different from your normal group 4 Escort. I looked up the registration on google and it is indeed a tarmac spec, used on the Circuit of Ireland.

I think all a bit dodgy at the time.

Rally stage - more a picture drop. It as cold and windy and started to rain towards the end. Let's start with Audi, a 'normal' spec Quattro and a Sport you can really see the difference in wheelbase in the photos. raceretro17_4536 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr raceretro17_4590 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr raceretro17_4613 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr How about some traditional Ford Escorts... A couple of MK1's, Mexico and RS2000 raceretro17_4667 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr raceretro17_4672 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr 'Rothmans' MKII RS1800 raceretro17_4491 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr raceretro17_4505 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr 'Coassack' MKII RS1800 raceretro17_4653 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr You can see how slippy it was on the exit of the corner, look a the blur on the wheels. and 'Andrews Heat for Hire' MKII RS1800 (as discussed above tarmac spec special) raceretro17_4723 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr raceretro17_4682 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr raceretro17_4698 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr and an 'Andrews Heat for Hire' Opel Manta 400 raceretro17_4602 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr No pictures of the Maxi but how about a World Cup Rally Triumph 2500MKII raceretro17_4684 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr Dolomite Sprint raceretro17_4578a by Mark Palmer, on Flickr Sierra Cosworth (there was a Escort Cosworth spitting out foot long flames but didn't get an image) raceretro17_4605 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr Subaru shaving the hay bale, the Subaru's, and Evo's where making lots of noise (pops, bangs etc) accompanied by flames. raceretro17_4578 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr Lotus Sunbeam, that's what I call oversteer! raceretro17_4712 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr Ari Vatanen in a M3, you don't really think of M3's as being rally cars raceretro17_4499 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr Ford RS200 still think it looks like a toy but it was quick. raceretro17_4598 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr and finally Triumph TR7's as they're my favourite and I'm writing this. raceretro17_4721 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr raceretro17_4678 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr raceretro17_4643 by Mark Palmer, on Flickr Hope you enjoyed it...
