        Nice vid that... The boy could drive uhhh - balls of steel required on some of those Donegal stages where there is often nothing but sky off to one side of the road. 6R4 is a great car too. Fantastic and unique noise... The man is missed though - such a raw talent.

          Great video. Metro 6R4 has to be one of the greatest rally cars ever made, along with all the other group B cars of course

                  That must have been some mad fun alright... Its such a tiny car - like a go kart with 100bhp per corner and a roof !

                    after the Grp B Audi's, the 6R4 was my favourite...... as you say the noise was really distinctive and McRae was a legend. Found a great clip a while back of the (also) late Tony Pond wrestling one round a forest stage and watching the rev counter was mental - such flexibility in that 3ltr twr lump

                      I could tell storeys all night... it was a full international spec 3.5 litre (me thinks..) it was also the car that taught me that hydraulic hand brakes work well when pulled on in motion but are rubbish when left stationary...

                      I had it at my old house when i painted it, started it up to put it on the trailer and had 3 sets of neighbours come out and complain..

                      It was a very drivable car without doubt but nowhere near as quick as his ex works sport quattro, which in truth scared the t*ts off of both of us when driven in anger..
