Well it's just that lately me and James too been posting quite a lot of pics back there in our rally thread in the Mustimedia section and it's seems that they're either no rally fans on this site or it's just that nobody's interested in the pictures, making our uploading a complete waste of time. Please answer honestly (and you don't have to worry 'cause noone knows what you voted for anyway), I just want to know what the statistics are.

Thanks guys

No, preference for older cars doesn't imply a dislike of modern.

I like all rallying. I PREFER classic, RWD Escorts, Minis and GRoupB

Ah yeah meant that, sorry.

Classics and Group B I can understand. But how come RWD rally cars? Wouldn't that mean they didn't have enough force to go through rough terrain like 4WD cars do? :confused:

I remember you saying something about how RWD Rallying was the most fun.....hhmmmmnn....

yeah you woudlnt'; want jsut RWD on something like the Dakar for sure :)

yep, RWD is just much more fun and skillful to chuck around corners on loose stuff and even on tarmac is more rewarding than AWD and most of the time FWD too :)

Also you had silly power getting pushed out of rally cars back then !!!!

come to think of it, i have media passes for subaru ford mitsubishi and peugeot. I can get all the pics in higher resolution :rolleyes: so unless theres some skoda and citroen pics in there i dont realy have a motif.
Yeah there are quite a few good ones of both in there. Check my recent ones -> Search
The rest are for those people who don't have a media pass. Why let them out of the fun?

wheres the 'im kind of interested but i had no idea this thread existed' option?

Well it's come upto 6 hundred something posts but I haven't bothered to check "official figures" so I wrote it as 6??

Well I mean like if anybody goes to the higher stages (PWRC +) so if anyone DOES make it up there it's not like the classic rallying is it? Just AWD and 300bhp 2 litre engines and what not....

True, but it would be unfair though. I mean one person has a more powerful car and both are equaully capable drivers whose gonna win? It's obvious
