Rallying a $500 E30 318i with an M3 engine and beating WRC cars. Respect.

He is a legend.
Learning to build rollcages so you can spend the money on tyres.
Using the 45 minute service window to remove engine mount brakes so he can fab his own.
Signing autographs for 3 hours.
Racing a $500 and kicking multi-million dollar WRC cars, awesome.

Like it, thanks Chilled.
Wish I had half his talent.

I love when this kinda stuff happens - and hopefully the teams are paying attention and seeing that the cost of motorsport is too high and can drive down their own costs. Not to these levels but reduction is a good thing and more factory teams could return.

By all accounts someone has offered him a drive, taking his car and shipping it to the next rally
