Apparently 6r4's are wider than the rest of thr rally cars so they wont follow the two ruts cut in to the mud by other rally cars


He said he will do it as long as he can then he will retire,will be about that time the car goes up for sale

Wondering how long that would take,

anyone wondering how good these cars are just take a look at Coln McRea
on the donegal rally this year, he was right up there with some of the WRC cars.

You have your wires crossed Richj. You are talking about Mk2's. Everyone else is talking about 6r4's I believe.

You may get a bargain, but that car is a good £20k worth with that engine, and ref Wales, it seams that's where they're all from!
