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..

Sapphy Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JvhCossie Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 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...

cozzfather Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Martin's well known words: SE NU TILL H****VETTE Å FÅ DEN J***LA BILEN PÅ HJULAN.... :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 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n0ltKKrnCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbp Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) 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.
