The 1981 Welsh Rally

Thrilled to locate this collage...sad to realise that Tony Pond , Pentii and no doubt many others are no longer with us...their legacy will doubtless live-on.....

Fantastic bit of nostalja. Really enjoyed it. Also top marks to Dickie Davies for not mangling the word 'Machynlleth' and nailing the pronunciation ; what a pro! D

I just love the sound of that BDG engine:D These were proper cars...

Great vid!!!

These were proper rally days, all through the night, the noise awesome and the car never straight!!Vatanen, Mikkola and Makinen were gods, with roger Clark not far behind. They were brilliant rallies when you could almost watch every stage i.e no traffic and easy forest access. The bowl at Ceri being the best loose stuff and Epynt for tarmac!!!!
