I'm surprised nobody has said "needs lowered" yet. The rally car's shell is designed for purpose rather than to look pretty!

The engine is 1598cc (4KM), producing around 220bhp. I know where there is one for sale if anyone wants one?!

 

[Dan_cup]

haha if some one said that then they really arent in to rallying, or have never waked along a special stage

watched all 3 days, slept rough since friday. might hire a camper van next year. Millenium SS was crap, what a waste time that was . Souvenirs i accquired were Gronholms front drivers side lower sill/part wing and mudflap all still stuck together, came off the car right in front of us on the second run into walters arena about 3Ks up the mountain. missed out on solbergs 307wrc rear spoiler by about 50 yards bast-rd marshall grabbed it gutted.
