Dingo Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 This was built after the real car was wrecked in 2006 Telstra Australia round of the WRC in Western Australia, I was the co-driver at the time when the driver on a transport stage from one comp section to another fell asleep at low speed (70kp/h) and we went off the road rolling the car (we had travelled some 2,500 kilometers to get there by road) the crash destroyed the car beyond quick repair and has only just been repair after a 3 year struggle and battle with cost and panels.

Dingo Posted April 27, 2009 Author Posted April 27, 2009 I appologise for the first photo/write-up not working I don't know what happen as the photo is in the photobucket so it's a complete mistery. Dingo
Foxer Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 What a crime for something like that to happen. It's sure a great looking car.
Dingo Posted April 27, 2009 Author Posted April 27, 2009 Thanks guys for U'r comments. I should point out that the 2,500 kilometer journey was to get to the event from our home town not from one comp point to the other, we had to drive for 48 hours almost non-stop to make the start after mis-timing our journeys distance. I can tell you never again if we ever get back to rallying it will be a case of sending the car ahead on the transpoter and driver, co-driver will fly and this will happen in 2010 when the WRC comes back to Oz in the state of Queensland in Sept/Oct of that year.

FujimiLover Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I love WRC and wish Speed Channel would bring it back! Nice model and nice diorama! Great way for displaying such a great model!
Nick F40 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 I remember that, the Xsara was the hotrod of WRC for sure, now it dominates in rallycrosses. I love this build. I love WRC and wish Speed Channel would bring it back! Nice model and nice diorama! Great way for displaying such a great model! Yeah, no ######, me to, but most likely will never happen. Speed went downhill ever since it lost it's vision. It seems like nowadays thought with how WRC is and the money involved IRC over here Rally America is the ways to go! You want to see great rallies with great competition, there you go.
