The car was sold to John Skogen sometime during the nineties, and broken for parts.

A friend of mine bought the grill and frontbumper, and i recall the body was cut up with an anglegrinder.

Not sure what happened with it after this though...

 

The sponsorlogo actually said Came1st during the events where tobacco commercials where banned...

But it looks like Camel from a distance.. :rolleyes:

chances are the door was smashed over Kenneth Hansens head then,as the two of them were not exactly

drinking partners :huh:

does anyone know what happened to Skogstad??

nice pic of Aaserud's RS500 there

to be honest when people talk about RS500'S in my country,they never mention

the Ra1lycross RS500'S,which is a shame as the driving was very spectacular and the cars were

sideways al1over the place,in the wet a 16v astra could kick there arse's never mind a M3

:D :D :D

the pub is called "tut og kjør".and i dont think this is the actual door.cause the door hanging in the pub..is from a 4 door.and anyways...the door is no longer there :huh:

Cozzfather, see what you mean, but I think the reason the touringcars is higher regarded is that the rally-x cars were abused much more and did`nt live very long. Like Aaseruds car you woun`t find a single nice and even panel it`s basically all over the place, and I guess this one would be one of the better ones (only been on it`s roof twice) ;-) Still nice to see it is still up and about thoug. A touringcar can probaly still today be nice and straight.

over in England we have a ford magazine called PERFORMANCE FORD on the front cover is a RS200

it used to belong to Jan Arthur Iversen,and Thor Holm,iirc Schance did development or somthing on that car

also our top RS200 driver PAT DORAN did have his car SCHANCEIFIED,or somthin anyway he had it over there

for a bit.

so there is a few old ra1lycross cars still about,pat dorans RS200 was for sale 6 months ago minus the bdt motor for

70,000 gbp

TOURING CARS WERE FOR GENTELMEN, RAL1YCROSS WAS FOR WARRIORS :D

Martin's well known words: SE NU TILL H****VETTE Å FÅ DEN J***LA BILEN PÅ HJULAN....

 

The RallyX is almost forgotten in Norway because the Solberg brothers is so popular in rally. After Petter became good it's never often we hear about rallyX.

 

Heard it was changed the rules for engine power now and the cars are about that powerful they were in Group B/Div 1 days...

 

Sorry bad English :D :D

Schanche was the first Norwegian i ever heard speak,infact at first i thought he was English because he

speaks so good,infact in England we have regional accents that are difficult to understand,but you Norwegians

speak great English,any way this is for all the Ral1ycross fans

Martin Schanche

 

quote from Martin

"Oh you have to make a SUPER start"

Damn right he used to make a super start,he used to have a sticker on his RS200 EVO that said FLATOUT

and that summs him up

enjoy it :lol:

If you claim that this is Bjørns old car, they must have done alot of repairs to it as it didn`t look good the last time i saw it.

The only things remaining was the bodyshell, windows and rollcage but some of it badly cut up with an anglegrinder.... so unless you have some papers to back up your claim.. i think you are very wrong.
