He then said he was too worried about rallying his E90 M3 and scraping up the bottom of it.

An y car is a rally car if you rally it.

Sounds like my mantra:

“Any bike's a dual sport bike if you try hard enough."

Off-roading?

He's from Oakville and drives an M3, anything that isn't paved is offroading.

Speaking of which, time to order a paint pen!

I just call one of the national car rental companies ...

Really, M-Sport down the road from me makes a business out of rallying Fiestas (and Focus’ and Bentleys).

I guess Ford wasn’t aware.

They should give back their trophies.

Hmmm enticing.

The eyebrows are cute, gives them a friendly Groucho Marx vibe going on.

You're missing out. It's a lot of fun.

Not really what they're designed for though. They are excellent on road cars

You’re missing out . Even if it hurt the long term reliability of mine, that was one of the high points of ownership.

Lol. So what are all those strips of gravel out there people keep driving on? What does he call those?

Frankly, dirt track rallying or autocross is probably the only way to make a front wheel drive econobox like the Fiesta and its brethren actually interesting to drive...

I used to own a Diahatsu Charade for exactly this reason!!

I wish I had an answer.

I do enough damage to the Abarth trying to leave the Target parking lot.

Ugh, there’s so much scraping if I don’t leave my work’s parking garage at just the right angle. I’m surprised there’s anything left at this point.

Exactly! Leaving my house to drive a country road is risky enough

Those are the 2016 cars I think. The 2018 cars got got a chin and added boxes.

I would love a rally prepped FiST. Even  A 1.0 Ecoboost

I believe the ones in the first post are £60-70,000 while the one in the second picture is £100,000. Don’t quote me on that.

I keep meaning to go on a tour of the factory as Dovenby Hall is only 20 miles or so down the road.

When I get home I'll have to find a video of it.

It’s from last year’s Monte Carlo rally. N o idea what leg or anything more specific, unfortunately.

Yep, it’s a happy little bee, buzzing away.
