This is a Sheffield and Hallamshire auto solo from last Sunday:

It would have been better if:

1) I'd not knocked off that bloody tennis ball

2) I'd gone the right way

It's the Chevrolet Firenza Can Am that Jimmy McRae has been using from time to time

Sounds alright I suppose

not quite the Firenza but in a similar vein....
At Ypres Historic Rallies going back 5-6 yrs there were a couple of these competing, only short clip but gives you some idea...



entered as Transeurop TE2600's, i 'd never heard of them before but research says Transeurop Engineering Belgium built them but Opel wanted none of their branding at all on them.
6 pot Commodore GSi 2.8 into a Manta A? , not really up on Opel stuff but sounded great when stood in a potato field!

That course looks perfect for a Caterham with an LSD and a pair of linglongs on the back!

You're right. I'd like to apologise to all the electric car fans out there ;-)

They are and they do sound good. There's a guy that uses one over there that usually wins his class in historics

It was! The Firenza's not really suited and a tad too powerful for this... ;-)
