Invitation only event - I got a ticket :D (well, I did put the organisers in touch with a local motor club for marshals ;)

Sadly, I could not get there until the afternoon (due to other commitments), but it was well worth spending a couple of hours in the bright, but chilly, sunshine.

Great photos of some old rally hardware. Gotta love those 6R4's. Ugly as sin, but a real statement about Group B.

Wizaron - I think I agree, #2 is my fave of the lot.

TustinMike - Yes, they sounded awesome, especially with the sound echoing back off the tree line.

Chris - thanks for the favourable comments, appreciated. My "other commitments" in my opening post was a trip down to your neck of the woods, specifically the LCE in town, to purchase the 70-200 2.8 L IS II.

I understand that there is a chance of a number of the Group B Legends cars running in the Rally Of The Midlands in June :fingers crossed:

Lawrence

did the Escort Cosworth run in Group B? I am thinking it came after Group B ended

That is awesome!

#1 for me, the shot and the car :D


Don't try to confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up.

Actually, I'm not too sure why the Escort was running - maybe a friend of the organisers ?
