With some rare cars.. in among the escorts and 911s.. I spied a Saab, Fiat Abarth 124, Ferrari 308, Lancia Montecarlo, and the Delta S4... and no cheesy music to ruin it all.

Too bad there aren't a whole lot of small .rear wheel drive cars available any more. Rallying is so much fun. I miss my old 510.

That is an awesome video, I was not expecting that 308 to come around the corner or that SL and those Escorts sounded very...angry

In reply to 93EXCivic:

Looks like a Citroen Visa 1000 Pistes. It was a homoligated (sp) model from the mid-eighties based on a regular Visa.

And here I thought I couldn't want a Mk1 Escort more.

I wish all the Lancia Betas hadn't returned themselves to molecular form by now

you can still find montecarlo/scorpions, occasionally you see the Zagato. It is the coupe, HPE, and Sedan that all returned to the earth.

edit

In rewatching that video.. it seems like only the Escorts (mk 1 and 2) and the Porsche's were really going out. I guess that is because there were so many of them compared to the other cars they had something of an internal rivalry going.

And while I think it is neat to see an honest Fiat Abarth 124 out and about.. I am having unholy thoughts of pissing off purists by building a rally 911

Awesome video, but I couldn't stop hearing Yakety Saxophone music.

Why is the Zagoto the only one that seems to have survived?

I think it is like any other convertable version of a hardtop car.. people buy them as second cars and don't really drive them, so they tend to sit in the garage for nice days

I am always amazed at the (lack of) crowd control.
