10 years old and I still come back to watch. The greatest car upload on KZfaq. Period.

100%. I've just rediscovered this video having not watched it for donkey's years. As a 12 yr old who was obsessed with the 3.8 RS, this was my absolute favorite car video on the internet. 9 yrs later I still think the 3.8 is the cat's pajamas and I still think this vid is better than any other car content I see nowadays.

francois is such a special person:the character of a mad dog, the heart of a lion, and the eyes of a ten years old kid. and a TRUE rally enthousiast,i mean he still loves rallying from the bottom of his heart. and Chris,who knows his shit in rallying,knew exactly what he was doing when filming that.

You consider yourself a proper petrolhead, yet you're not a huge fan of the 911s - let alone the GT3? Didn't you just hear what a racing driver had to say?

@woooster71 8 жыл бұрын

Amin El So because I'm not a 'particular' fan of the 911, that means I'm not a proper petrolhead? Having owned 26+ motorbikes..mostly Superbikes, and currently on my 6th TVR a 420 SEAC...I'm still not a petrolhead?? Even my Focus ST has been remapped to 280bhp! Sorry, but I don't go in for that crap. It's the same as saying if you've never owned an Alfa you are not a true petrolhead either! It's total bullshit!! Anyway, my original statement says 'normally' I'm not a fan.. but I do like rather a lot the GT2 & GT3 Porsche's! Years ago I almost bought a classic 930 Turbo.. now I wish I had seeing how their values have now sky rocketed!!

thumbs up for this one... I keep on watching it over and over again... one of my all time favourites together with the vid of Walter Rohrl in GT3 on Nurburgring and Ari Vatanen climbing Pikes Peak in group B Peugeot 405... pure pleasure to watch. amazing cars, and what is more impressive - driving skills. going flat-out, what seems to be on the edge with full control over the car and unbelievable confidence. he is focused and confident of his skills but so humble at the same time.
