Bloody good driver, very consistant and didnt crash half as often as most of the other drivers in the 70's and 80's. Excellent

Stig drove a new built Audi Quattro replica in this years Midnight Sun Rally unfortunately Stig had many problems with and had to retire quite early in the rally. :( however i did see him as a spectator on SS17 Kägleborg, He was one of those who helped a Ford Escort (start nr #3), who went to wide and ended up in a ditch/creek, back onto the road again.

Video clips of that incident and from other cars at SS17 and SS20 will be available later.
