i was just looking for rally astras on youtube... found some cool vids like this one: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ-EnoXv-zk

have any of you guys (or girls!) driven super fast on dirt roads pretending you are a rally driver??:lol:

If i found a nice road to drive fast on, i probably wouldnt because i would be worried about wrecking my suspension or ripping off my sump...:laugh:

I actually have rallied an astra. Been rallying nearly 6 years now, and an astra was the 2nd car I used. Never won with it!!!

I now go offroad rallying in a Rangie Vogue :)

yep, i have. well country lanes actually, there's one near me with a mixture of straights and bends i go down on the way to a pub some evenings, if it's dark you can really give it some round the corners because if another car is coming from further ahead down the lane you can see the headlights well in advance. i just keep it planted in 2nd/3rd gear and get near enough 70 on the straights.
will get a mate to video it sometime if you like

lol why not :P

There are some nice country roads near me that you can go fast down too... some challenging bends, and at night you can see ages ahead so its all good...
Down this particular road, i had a range rover sport following me, so i was raggin it, but at the corners he had to slow down :laugh:

thats awsome...

awsome vid
 
It looks like a Metro 6R2 3/4 (Not quite the whole bodykit lol!)

Cool pics though mate, and cool vids too...

I did something like that once in a old fiesta but never filmed it... We found a wood trail and hacked it about for a bit, taking turns... Never filmed it though which was just as well because I hit a tree! :heh:

there is this 1 road near me, that has a few very nice bumps on it. i was with 3 of my mates, and the 2 in the back were nearly asleep, so i thought, ill wake them up. This road is straight and tarmac, and you drive down a little dip, then over a bump, then into another dip. I got a little bit of air over the bump and landed very smoothly... that was fun :heh:
