A video full of Sierra's. Can anyone tell me if the Starion going through the gate is McHales?

Now that I like!:drool:

Seems to be M(a)cHale's Starion alright, sounds like Christy Farrel on the notes. Wasn't aware that his was LHD at all though.

Yeah those clips are all of the 1988 Circuit, BBC or AMTV production I think.

The gate incident tho, haha, I always think everytime I watch it those sound effects of screeching and the car hitting the gate are dubbed, they sound suspiciously like something out the BBC Sounds Library :laugh: :whistle:

i think that gate is up in glenhordial outside omagh it would the craig hill stage used in this years circuit only run the other way,back in 1999 i went to finland and we were inroduced to pennti we asked him about going off as we lived so close to it and his reply was " sometimes i care to remember but i also care to forget" a top man who was suffering the after effects of the night before.

i cant seem to play it, it says i need a software update from Realplayer and when i hit the ok button it says no update is available to support this, what would be wrong with it ?

I thought the coverage was from BHP as BBC used their coverage with Steve Rider commentating.

Pentti said that gate cost him £80

Yep BHP did the coverage.
