You should go read through threads like this one (http://z8.invisionfree.com/Northloop/index.php?showtopic=15538&st=0) on Northloop.

the first clip is the best. it still amazes me how it pulls out the corner. the spectator with his hands on his head says it all really  :cool:

With you on that one that first audi is un-real, I cant stop watching it. i read some where a few years ago that in theory driving a group B rally car to its limits was beyond the cababilitys of the human brain(reaction time , common sense , outright self preservation and of course the spectators). How true that is I have no Idea but watching this you have to ask the question.

Just sat and spent the last hour watching Quattro and group B vids on youtube.

Managed to track down a 1983 A plate lwb quattro sport 2.1 turbo in red on autotrader, needs some work cosmetically, but less than £4k and its running order!!!!  Come on its worth that for the noise of it surely!!!!!

My life won't be complete till I've owned one now!!!!! lol
