That truck of yours sounds really cool,i bet that was heaps of fun.
I love the sound of a supercharger aswell.There's something very satisfying in building something fast out of something that wasn't intended to be.Kind of like what i like to do with solid axle RCs.

Yeah,the 80s was probably the golden age for rallying.Huge crowds in those days.I think that car may be an early Group B or maybe earlier group 4.Audi were the first to pull the plug on group B after a series of accidents involving spectators,the class was banned shortly after.

Speaking of big power from little engines,in the 80s F1 teams were achieving 1500 bhp from 1.5 litre turbo 4 pots(imagine the lag on those!).Rumour has it that the BMW blocks in the Brabhams came from old road cars and some say that the engineers used to pee on them and leave them outside(sounds unlikely but who knows).
