I'm watching at the moment

to the Volvo

And I can't believe the live radio conversations with the drivers while they race - the guy in the Mustang was cracking jokes while battling the backmarkers


Also the shear variation in the cars is awesome

nice find

is it the race with Jim Richards in the black John Player Special BM 635 CSI

[fullmetalgasket]

Gentleman Jim is indeed in a 635 CSL ( indeed )
Although I suspect he may of driven it a few other times aswell
He makes a fooking ace drifty passing move on Brock's Commador too

if its the one Im thinking of, he's alongside someone (Tricky Dicky Johnson???) with a camera on the cage and it turns to Jim and he offers the inside line to the other car as foooook

I hope it is, I have'nt seen that race for ages, the video tape got chewed up many years ago

Nah, most people who've seen one of those scandinavian drag vids have seen that
Gatesbill or something similar I think
