The Metro had such a high pitch exhaust there was no mistaking the car even if the panels had fallen off.

Group B would have to be the heyday of rallying.
The drivers, both men and women took their lives in their hands every time they strapped in, shame a fair few legends of the sport were killed in these monsters.

You could almost say it was Rallying's version of F1's Killer Years, but hell what a spectacle....
