It should come up but if you're using Google Chrome it will be a blank screen so just right click and view source.

I just realized that MAT own and prepared the Bentley Continental GT that 4x WRC champion Juha Kankkunen drove to the world record of 200mph on ice.

Interesting.

Ok...back to Model A posts.

I like how they restored it to that instead of building a hot rod. You just don't see that route as often any more.

As much as i like the type R, none of them will be greater than the engine that powered the greatest ever rally car.

MK II RS1800 Escort.

And in the world of Escort's, the peak is Ari Vatanen's MCD 'Black Beauty'.

im gonna have to disagree, and name the Yb cosworth motor as the best rally motor ford ever created!

[DUBSf22c]

OLLLLDDDD NEWS

[Oz10]

Hell yeah! Model A drift machine!!!

[Elbow]

Haha I remember this car, it's awesome, I'd drive it.

For my example, i listed the MKII Escort as the greatest ever rally car. :goodjob:

The BDA engine in BDT form would go on to power the RS200 and the RS1700T.

Gotta remember though, non of the cars made during that era (Sierra/Sapphire/Escort) powered by the Yb were champions in the WRC. The engine was better suited toward touring cars.

[Brian*]

Hell yeah, I love the intake mani, its ol skool yet new school...

Pretty bad ass* REP4 posting this!!

[Glides]

That is so beyond cool that words cannot describe.

[Bigt8aford]

That is just what I needed to see today. We've all thought of doing that to Civics or Camaros. But these to "sleeper" another level. Good find, plus reps.
