One last go then!
I'll head over to watch a stage or two this year - not been for 10 years or so to be honest.
I managed to watch a stage of Rallye France a couple of weeks ago, and to be honest the top WRC cars looked out of this world - almost unrecognisable.

In my eyes I'm afraid (the majority of) WRC has become almost as meaningless as F1.
There was a time (a LONG time ago!) when international rally cars were pretty damn close to showroom cars and the RAC rally (WRC rally GB for you youngsters) had 100+ entries: the first ~20 were the works teams, and the remainder similar cars run by clubmen. But now anything less than a six digit budget condems you to being an 'also run'!
A WRC team spends more on tyres for one event than a clubman can spend in an entire season in something like enduro rallying.
Nevertheless, put me in for £5 just because this chap is helping me capture my youth when my dad worked for Ford AVO!!
PS can someone PM with paypal details? Ta!

You're absolutely spot on! That's why I was so attracted by his effort.

How close are we now - the cheapest is £50; we've got to be near.
Why don't you get in touch with him, reserve it and we'd get there.
