The good old days of rallying

[Berny]

I remember the German village at Epynt very well did service for a Lotus Cortina and Cooper S many times!

[Mick Cliff]

Unfortunately Mick, I missed out on that as I wasn’t even born

Only us guys born in the first half of the last century can have such memories!

Village is still there, but the hill's return road is now very short so you don't get to go past it.

When I did it the return road was partly on public roads!

I’m trying not to say that was the time rallies really were rallies with interesting cars.

Chris Harris tests the Pirelli P7 and a handful of wild Lancia GP4 cars.

One of my favourites too, what a day that must have been!

[Mr Pharmacist]

Brings back memoreis of proper rallying!

My Dad's mate used to co-drive for Tony Pond and Jimmy McRae in the late 70's / early 80's so my Dad used to take us to see them on RAc stages up in the North - Knowsley Safari Park, Harewood Hill, Grisedale Forest, Haigh Hall in Wigan etc. Good times!
