Shame my old laptop was stolen or I could have shared some pics from last year's Monte Carlo and Germany both of which I I was to.

Not a professional photographer by any means but my ex was, so I should have picked up some skills from her. If I have the opportunity to visit any this year I'll post them here :)

This is about the transformation of a Lancia Rally 037 group B into a 4-WD "hybrid".
