CD

so thats sun night sorted then, and time for a cuppa in between the two of them lol!!!

Thank you. Thats been added to the Sky planner!

yeah, i've just set my betamax vcr too m8!

I have two kids. Sky planner is a yellow post it stuck on the tv which says "fe&k off trying to tape ceebeebies or nickleodeon programmes via series link at this time"

lol!!!

Sunday Night.......all of this followed with our "Good Rallying Memories" at 11.00

are we sitting comfortably?...........good, then he'l begin.........

ah that was good, what a pilot he was...... didnt need the block promo though...........imho....
colin r.i.p.

fantastic programme!!!!
tbh i think they could of left out the reports re the heli accident it was well doc'd at the time and should of been left at that.

aye that was a wee bit harsh i thought paul, but colin was colin i suppose, warts and all.........if in doubt, etc.........

jimmy can still steer for 70years young!

aye indeed he can m8..........i suppose you never lose it..............if you ever had it in the first place lol!!

ooo i have it alright.....on colin mcrae video game for the ps2!!
ooo i dont have it....on the open road!

you and me both m8!!!

i enjoyed the programme loads all those clips of coiln,burns,tommi etc just showed me how poor the wrc is now

maybe its because ive got older but theres no really hero drivers for me anymore my favourite drivers where always mark lovell and ari vatanen then colin mcrae later on, now i couldnt say anyone really

A cracking programme for sure, although I disagree with the Block comparison - Colin was world class, and the theatrical 'gymkhana King' American wouldn't have seen Colin for dust if they had met in similar spec cars at the same time in their respective careers!

Great to see the footage of 'my friend's' ex-David Gillanders MG Metro 6R4 within last night's programme as well.

david-totally agree with block's inclusion.not the place for the internet entertainer imho... where was Vatanen??!!! colins hero and mentor?

graham have to totally agree m8, wrc died for me a bit as a spectacle after 2008, when scoobies disappeared..not because i'm obsessed with subaru, just that then we were left with a so-called c'ship between ford and citroen, and don't even think to convince me of the variations of 2nd teams, stobbart, etc,etc...there were two teams; where were subaru, mitsubishi, peugeot, renault, skoda, vw, toyota, etc,etc?
plus the new regulations on top of this, yes the cars are still watchable but, doesn't just do it for me like it did in the 70's, 80's, 90's and most of the naughties......... just my opinion, i know some guys on here love the fiestas, polos, and ds's....
the crowds watching mcrae win his c'ship show what a popular sport this was in its day, with real fans, real drivers and real cars.........
now politics, enviro-taxation, money, branding, tv rights, F1 domination, Ecclestone, etc, etc.........it'l never be the same


ok, rant over!!!

I think it was good for Jimmy to be reminded about the affection spectators had for his son. What a thoroughly decent guy Jimmy came across as. I did smile when he said, let's just take this short cut (in our road legal cosssie)......

Hoy had a bit of natural car control as well. Fair play.
