    It's seen as a golden era by many and that the age group is where the majority of rally fans are now.

    The McRae/Burns era fans are also there, but the lack of real British success at WRC level for so long isnt bringing in so many new fans.

    Yep ask any none rally fan to name a driver n I bet Mcrae would still be the most common answer

    I used to have a full set..Not great copies but I'm way over here in Fortress America™ and with this orange thing as President, I don't know if we can mail things to you because you guys used to be dirty Commies...

    But as a big fan of the car--and especially the XE 16v engine I am curious why you want them..

    That doesn't mean anything. If they were the real team with real goals they would sign him before M-Sport came and offered him a nice package. He is not that stupid. M-Sport have limited test days available because of budget. Citroenrab doesn't even have testing days. No upgrades at all. No payment for driving. But have huge pressure of axing drivers for crashing their bouncing/undriveable cars.

    I think that this might be a good bar talk theme... How did it start? What was the first self propelled vehicle You drove?

    Mine was an East German harvester Fortschritt E512 and I was like 5 years old sitting on my uncle's lap

    Not to be confused with the Fast & Furious-type junk movie with the same title released last year, 'Over Drive' is a Japanese-made drama about two brothers,(and the compulsory love interest girl!), one a driver the other his mechanic, competing in a domestic rally series with the ultimate aim of joining the WRC. No doubt, inspired (and maybe financed) by Toyota, it features quite a lot of stage action. Anyway, I am going to the premiere in Obihiro City tomorrow, so can post a critic of it here over the weekend. BTW, I can't recall any recent movies with a rally theme......was there a Jackie Chan one or was that more racing? http://overdrive-movie.jp/about/introduction.html
