Awesome era, this was just before I got into rally, I was the Colin mcrae in the impreza and Tomi in the Evo era!
The big attraction for me was you could watch that on a Saturday and walk into the dealer on a Sunday and buy your favourite rally car, Escort Cossie, Impreza, Evo, Celica GT4.
There's no denying that the current cars are impressive performance wise, all that aero downforce seems to add another level on top of the 90s mechanical grip, but I cant walk into my local Hyundai dealer and buy a 4WD turbo charged monster i20 or go and do 4WD doughnuts in the Tesco carpark in my new Yaris.
you can buy plenty 4wd cars on the market now but as far as I can think no manufacturer makes a rally car for the road anymore? that was what was sad about the demise of the Subaru WRX and Evo 10 (was the 10 a real evo?!?!?!) going out of production
