Suz this one is more for you than anyone

I remember watching this video as a kid and it prompted some of my best years of car ownership.
THE best and most forgiving car i have ever driven in anger.
Still gives me goos bumps watching this
This is part 4 of a 5 part breakdown in the full history of the Opel Manta in its rally domination 1980 -1984/5
Maybe tame by todays standards but oh the sounds and the style of driving!!!!
Excuse me a moment :-D :-D

Bless

Please tell me you are doing a 400 kit on the Manta. That would be most agreeable.

If it were up to me then a fully prepped copy of the 1984 RAC winning car driven by Mcrae snr would be the order of the day.
coupled with a 200 sx running gear at around 250bhp so good and reliable modern power plant.
However its not my car so its up to Suz what she does to be honest Stu.
My Toy will be running be end of the week so my thoughts will prob be further away from this than ever :twisted: :twisted:
