Rally Discussion and Bar Talk Thread

[skarderud]

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

A '85 Volvo 245 sitting at my Grandfathers lap, maybe 8 yrs old? I had that car for several yrs when my oldest kid was born

Probably a kids' snow mobile in Lappland. I was 4,5 years old. I remember my dad tried to make it start and I noticed the power switch is "off" although it should be on "run".

[QUOTE=NickRally;1181066]Chaps and chapesses, I wanted to share something that I have been working on for some time – Lanica Rally 037 is one of my all-time favourite completion cars (you might have noticed a 037 theme to my avatar) and ever since it ended its rally career I have been asking myself how would a potential successor look like - 30 years on I have a design that I am happy with and would like to share here. Will it ever be built? Don’t know, I’ve never been any good at finding the budgets required to do engineering projects of that magnitude, while doing it at kit car level (no disrespect to this field by the way) is not something I currently intend to do. Either way, the project was/is a great fun and anything further from now one is a bonus.

I was only seven and the year was 1961, when my father let me steer our familys´Ford Taunus 17m, sitting in his knee, on the very small approach to our summer cottage. A few years later maybe 13 I was allowed to drive Opel Rekord 1900 -66 on narrow gravel road while my parents was beside in the forest looking for chanterelles.
When I was fifteen I had my first real slide also been allowed to drive on small road while my father walking beside. Opel Rekord 1900 -68. Very lucky moments.

Many Opels since that I´ve driven...

When I was fifteen I had my first real slide.

at 13 i almost tottaled my fathers Lada 2101.At summer cottage,my mom was sleeping,took the keys she had hidden into a tree(lol) outside the house,and push the car some 200 meters,to dont listen the engine.
At 10 minutes,i came back by foot.
Lada had fallen into a olive tree.

i woke up her and told her.So simple.You cant imagine how was looking at me,and what was shouting to me.
The difficult part was my father.
My father was mechanic at comercial ships,and was on ship,he wasnt with us at vacations.
I told my mother to dont tell my father that i ve done the carnage,but she.
I had believed that my mother hadnt tell the truth to my father.
All that when suddenly after some years my father told me that he knew it from when happened.
Maybe my worst day in my life.

for me it was a Jeep Willys from WWII, probably aged 8-10
Have to say it is probably one of the greatest "car" you can learn driving with. doesn't go too fast but enough to appreciate the speed, 3 gears + 1 reverse, and very simple mechanic...
