The Metro 6R4 holds a special place in my heart and I still get goosebumps when I think back to that magical 1985 Lombard RAC Rally. I was 15 years old and building my 1st rally car at the time (a Mini),so was instantly intrigued by this strange new Austin Rover Group car when I saw a BBC TV rally preview programme which featured the 6R4 story. During the next couple of years my poor old Dad must have driven miles and miles,taking me to see 6R4s wherever they were on display,and he must have been very relieved when I passed my driving test!. Whether it was the noise,the agressive styling or the sheer lunacy of the car in general,I'm not sure,but the Mighty Metro still makes me go weak at the knees whenever I'm near one.
When I'm not here on RS200.org,I can usually be found on my favourite 6R4 websites,6r4.net,sportscar-racing.net and metro6r4onlinenews.co.uk
All Group B cars fascinate me,and alongside the 6R4 and the RS200 I love the Delta S4,205 T16 and Sport Quattro the best. Saying that,I've really enjoyed reading about the BX 4TC recently (thanks for the links Klaus!) and I'd love to find one for sale sometime.
Very best wishes to all,
