[James O'Sullivan]

Fantasy Classic Rally entry List.

Throw in a few suggestions and we'll get down to seeding!

All cars pre 1990 , preferably cars that have been rallied in this country, 2wd or 4wd.

Drivers must have an Irish connection,
They can be an Irish competitor or have rallied here ( ie. Colin McRae, The Russians in their BMW, Tapio Laukannen there's an endless list)

Who would you like to see going through molls gap and in what car.
This should be a nice entry list.


Bertie Fisher in???
Mc Hale in ??
Billy Coleman in ???
Nesbitt in??
Russel Brookes in??
Eugene Donnelly in the G3
Denis Cronin in the M3

Add in as many or as few as you like and we'll see what comes up.

with the 16valve Astra engine :laugh:

Was this the first RWD car to get an Astra engine conversion. I remember seeing it in Wicklow years ago and guys laughing at the car before the start, think Robbie won the event and was the one laughing after the event. He was some man to push that car in the woods and must be one of THE BEST forestry drivers in this country

 

[anfearmor]

what year did o'neill from kerry have the chevette? i know a man who bought a full works car that was meant 2 b used in the world championship in portugal but failed scruitiny because a part was'nt homologated. he bought it 4 £13000stg. cant remember the year though. the man was john connor in downings. i used 2 wash the car 4 him on a sunday morning, then he'd take me around the atlantic drive in it- not 4 the faint hearted !!!
