My friend John ran a SAAB 96 at the last Group B rally, the 1986 Olympus WRC Rally. It was the last time the car was eligible and he wanted to give it a good sendoff. So there we were with a primer and flames Blazer as our support rig while other teams had tons and tons of support vehicles. It was a blast working…
Frankly I’m just surprised it’s not being replaced by a goddamned crossover.

How many Jalopnik Bars am I going to have to eat to win?
Because methanol addresses another, more pressing issue: it doesn’t turn into a gigantic raging inferno in a crash (it has a higher flash point than gasoline), and you can douse it easily with water.

Gah, even a Micra rollover is adorable. Look at the little rascal go!
These guys definitely got their just deserts.
It would almost be worth seeing what they’d say if you asked if you could use their driveway to sand and paint it before you drove it home...
I’m not a legal expert, but I’m like 99% sure he’ll end up being forced to coach a hocky team of ragtag misfits. From what I’ve seen in the movies it usually works out surprisingly well.
Looks like they’re really being Gumball-breakers.
The dusty cars make me sad.
