These Rally Cars really are the "flavour of the month" for the last year or more!

I enjoy watching the events, the drivers and their co-pilots have some amazing skills, and I'm sure these will move off the shelves quickly.

Thanks for the heads-up Andy.

Cheers, D

I'm not trying to be the PC police, but I think 'Japs' is considered derogatory, since like 1990 or so. Pretty cars though.

The term will definitely get you in trouble in the U.S., but I'm rather surprised it won't get you jail time in the U.K. considering some of the new laws on the books there. I mean, they tried to imprison a Youtuber there for teaching his pug how to do a Nazi salute as a joke.
