Default Wow the luckiest rally car off - metro 6r4 with colin mcrae

Firstly no jokes about not being lucky after this please...


Was watching this vid, just incredible how he didnt touch a thing and how he went off.

You need to watch from 4.15 onwards

The 6r4 lump is one of my faves, the sound is immense, even driving sensibly you can't hear yourself think without head sets on! And hear them coming over a mile off,

12k rpm is tasty too, damn I could go on forever lol!!

Very slim. He should have gone and bought a lottery ticket as soon as he got out of the car. Shame he is no longer with us to carry on showing off his driving talents - although i think that clip showed us how lucky he was rather than his talent.

Great vid, nice to see them both having a laugh about it inside the car.

And fuck me, what a sound!! If your old man did map it Jimbo, then he did a great job, sounds sweet as a nut.

These sound fantastic, there was a red 6R4 at the Time Attack round at Knockhill the other week and it sounded better than any of the RB, EJ, K20 etc engines that were there.


Cheers,
Grant
