This video is a few years old, but if you haven't seen it, its worth a look. Chris Harris gets driven round San Remo rally stage in a Stratos, Delta S4 and an 037, driven by two Finnish rally legends (Alen and Kankunnen), and a 6 times Italian rally champ (can't remember his name).

Apart from the magnificent cars, noise and hair-raising speed, its worth watching just to check out the difference in styles between the cool cucumber Finns and the elbows/tongue out Italian.

Brilliant.

Yep, if I was a multimillionaire, an original Stratos would be the first thing I put in the garage.

Odd they say that Busso v6 is not readily available on Oz so they have come up with a Toyota v6 option here instead. Sacrilege!

I had seen this before but the refresh was so welcome.
Thank you.

PB, your thread title reads like one of those "Three somethings walk into a bar" type jokes. I keep reading the new posts hoping for the punchline.  :P
