Usually a half tightens, but might be used instead of tightens as it’s quicker to say.

Correct

I have heard a local NZ crew use the 'nips' expression, as a quick break between note instructions, e.g in places where the quick change of direction that is not obvious in a wooded section of road. e.g fast left by a slower right.

we are more likely to use the word " kink or kinks" in nz as in there is a kink in the road

I don't care about american rallying, but I must say this contraption intrigues me. Any body knows more about this V8 Ferrari powered Impreza?

Anyone guess what this mid-engined, turbocharged, but dead-on-arrival rally car was ?

[focus206]

Is that a Talbot Samba? But I've only ever heard of the "regular" FWD version

[Paul Hudson]

Talbot Horizon.

Talbot Horizon.

This. A precursor to the 205 T16.

[Norm75]

Yes, group b Talbot horizon. Talbot started development when the sunbeam became less competitive, it was mid mounted and turbocharged I believe but think it was only rear wheel drive, so it was canned with the merger with Peugeot who were developing the 205 T16
