It's getting to THAT time of year again.
Still get a tingle down my arms, nightly reports on BBC2, Tony Mason's nose redder than a baboon's **** after an outside broadcast in the cold at Chatsworth, William Woollard being William Woollard... Colin McRae looking about 12 and writing off almost everything on every stage, jumpers for goalposts etc.

To be honest this could be one for the what doesn't make you grin, seeing as mainstream rallying coverage is but a past dream. Oh well. That and I've just turned 39 and don't as yet own a DeltaGrale or Escort Cosworth.*

Also, it does bring to light what a peculiar tune this was originally. A vocal style largely involves shouting about being knifed until you scream. Not something I hitherto understood when I was eight.



*having driven both, just the former will do.

Claudia Brucken in Propaganda. Awesome vocalist and a superb album by the group.

The other version of that track is very much more listenable. As is the rest of the album, but, curiously, that track fits in pretty much perfectly.

^^^^ Dang Catman, you made me log in just so I could like that one.

Does that remind you of Jason over on ML?

I was in Shropshire yesterday when in the distance something burgundy in colour, very low, very wide

As it got closer , no , a Jaguar XJ220

I've never seen one moving before , on trade plates so might've been a test drive , I wonder what you'd have to show them as a bank balance before they let you have a go

I've got one of these re-issued ones in the naughty cupboard waiting to be built! In the early '70s my uncle worked in the Airfix factory and brought several of the original kits home, Christmas and Birthday presents galore ;)
