For .02% you will get to stand near it, that's about it. Not even sure for that amount that we can let you hear it run or anything. That's about what I could contribute as well. We are screwed.

So this can't be like one of those times when four people go out and three of them share vegetable soup and the fourth guy has twin lobsters, but they split the bill evenly?

That will depend on the person who buys the lobster.

His "motorcoach" ended up being an RV. I would not hitch my wagon to that horse.

Are you saying that we might end up with a Probe with a fartcan?

I was thinking more along the lines of a Match Box but if you want to dream big... go for it.

I don't know, I'd almost rather a Matchbox car than a fartcanned Probe .

If I saw that in my rearview mirror, I would wonder if they lowered the legal driving age.

Why? It's a legendary rally car.

Ford RS2000 to hit the RM auction Dec 10

Legendary doesn't do it justice...it encompasses exactly what gruppe B was all about. Ridiculous, dangerous, and required to have production homologations. Several crashes that killed numerous spectators put an end to the crazy hp wars and ford (along with other companies) were out a lot of r&d money. I saw TWO of these in a Vegas collection and feel lucky to do so.



Awesome awesome cars. Btw there was a fantastic documentary made that airs on velocity every so often about gruppe b, it is very well done. I can't remember the name.

Some more pictures of other Group Bs... the Audi Quattro, the first rally car to use 4WD/AWD:



And the Lancia Delta S4, the car that Henri Toivanen died in, ending the Group B era. To me, the Lancia is the most beautiful of the Group Bs.



What was the name of that documentary? I should really try watching it sometime.
