If y'all get the 'Legends of Motorsport' series, (carried here by Speedvision) watch for the 'Flying Finns' episode, which is about the Thousand Lakes Rally of 1968. Since it's about the Finnish drivers, you end up watching a lot of Timo Makkinen abusing his works mini-cooper.. But there's a notchback entered (though I didn't catch the driver's name) and some really beautiful shots of it coming through the corners at opposite-lock. The highlight comes near the middle of the show, on a paved, multiple-start special stage; try to visualize, if you will, a notchback dicing through a corner neck-and-neck with a twin-cam ford, the pair of them tailing a 911 by only a second or so. Such a lovely image, it may well turn me to the dark side. --Geoff '66 squareback (if it's neither darkside nor lightside material, what is it? greyside?) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
