    Wow. Thanks.

    How can it be a midlife crisis, when I've driven sportscars my entire life?

    WOW, thanks a ton. That is probably the best thing I have seen for years. LOL at that Trabant at 6:00

    I got bits and pieces of it. The vintage shots with sound look great, but there's a lot of music dubbed over in there too. I need to watch the whole thing though, looks interesting based on the Alpine segment I watched.

    I watched it.. glad to see the italians get some face time.. even the "also ran" 124 spider saw some love for a "touch of madness"

    We need more videos/movies like this

    That's exactly what I was thinking. The music was a little much at times but otherwise brilliant, it needs a better place than youtube!

    THAT is the best film on the history of rallying ever made. Period. Take 90 minutes and enjoy the history of the sport, from the V-4 Saabs, the mighty Group B cars--including the crash that eliminated them--to today's sport. It's great. Well done; thanks for posting it!!

    Stratos stuff to even a blue Mangusta (!) to today's stuff. And the footage of the M-B and Toyotas in the East African Rally, oh man. Then there's the Quattro...I drove a competition version a couple of times--this makes me want to find a street version. Even that was fun.

    Made my day.

    Rolls Royce covered in mud and sliding....There's even a glimpse of a Chevy Nova sliding. Perhaps a glimpse of what would be decades later at Targa Newfoundland?

    I knew the Fiat 131 effort was big, but, a 747 as ONE of the transporters!

    How about your hardrive?

    True!

    That is a great video. Unfortunately I'm at work so I can't finish it while eating lunch. Will be tracking it down tonight to watch with a brew (or two)
