I remember Austin in the black Manta on the circut in 86-wow-he was spectacular. Cruelly robbed on the 84 curcuit when he was leading with a few stages to go-after five days in the saddle-what a blow. Also finishing 3rd overall on the Mintex rally of 80 or 81 in a GP 1 RS2000, ahead of GR 4 cars-some drive.
Earliest memory was the home made Escort MK 1 1300(yes 1300) BDA on the 79 rallysprint in the wicklow hills-in those days he was so poor the sporsors name was hand written on paper and held on with sticky tape. Full opposit lock power slides around the corners in those days.
