just re-reading the april '08 issue of performance bike. there's an interview with fast freddie about this demonstration. if i can scan it well enough i'll post.

regarding the part where the machines one by one take off, he says "the car took off, then sam took off and i started to put on my helmet and gloves. it wasn't edited- that's exactly the speed it happened."

he said they did it in one take.

In the same vein, road car vs. rally car vs. F1 car.

LOVED IT!!!!

A Stewart Ford (Sir Jackie's an inspiration), Cougar (sadly), Colin and Rally Focus. Lousy with Scots!  ;D

Thanks a bunch for that post!



McRae was the best! God rest he and his son.


edit: Andy, I'll try to scan the story.
