You have a very valid point there Russ. I would also like to add that these
pictures do seem a bit old, when looking at what cars are there. There are old
VWs, old Saabs and even older Volvos. All these cars are from 60's and early
70's. Today these races consist of 80's cars like Volvo 240s, Ford Sierras and
Saab 900's, with the occational hatchback like a Golf or French/Japanese brand.

It's strange however, that there are no type4 Variants there. They used to
popular due to the "Porsche" engine, they were called "Long-Porsches" in public.
