I met Nicky when he and Colin came to California to do the XGames. I got Nicky's autograph and I told him I wanted Colin's, so he went back in the caravan and got it for me. I still have the tee shirt. He's one of the nicest guys you could hope to meet. After all, he is a Taffy the same as me!
Juha. With great respect and Nicky is such nice guy and he deserve that. Get him a new front bumper... then nicky buy you a nice Ale... Really nice story...
To think I had the pleasure of interviewing/comentaing on these two so many times up to 94 when I retired to Europe, thank you guys for reviving so many memeories!.
What a brilliant interview & great homeage/respect paid. I really really miss the good ol days. Miss my one & only ST185 homologated version that I bought in the UK & took it back home to Kenya. Love that era, cars & the artists such as the great Grist, Moya, McRae, Sainz, Kankunnen, Auriol, Burnsie et al… ❤️
Brilliant brilliant video ... really enjoyed that Nicky wat a gentleman . who was the previous Irish driver .Austin McHale had alot of success in exactly the same car it was X works to.
Absolutely loved this one again and was cheekily forced into watching it again when an old ex western isles rally man told me about “Howard is a Garage “! Dunno if he was being cheeky or a genuine mistake but Howard hats off fella you know me I already watch and know you anyway so I knew who he meant 😂 I’ll say AG initial wise that’s all 😂😂😂 topman Horse on
Yeah he is a Welshman who was chatting to Nicky grist and he won the championship with juha Kankkunen in 1993 his first title win and Juhas 4th title before he went over to join Colin McRae where he stayed until 2002 where he and Nicky split up and Colin was reunited with Derek ringer which they won the 1995 championship And it wasn’t until Nicky and Colin got back together again when they returned to the drivers seat in 2005 for Skoda which they nearly had a podium in Australia and they appeared again for Citroen as a substitute for the injured Sebastian loeb who was injured in the bike accident and that unfortunately was the last time they appeared together before Colin himself died in the helicopter accident
So would it be fair to say that due to safari rally being seriously shortened and various other rallies having shorter stages that some titles were given and warranted as goals/targets were achieved but realistically the same stage mileage in the past they wouldn’t in fact be worthy of said titles.
WRC organisers in these recent years keeps crying about losing fans and spectators, if they brought back the Group A regulations, I bet rallying fans and spectators will come storming back to watch WRC.
Everybody was cheating in those years (or playing with the limits), some were really hard to find, like the Toyota one, and some were never found. But Toyota didn't rob any title as they were banned and lost the points of that year, if Ford didn't win another title it was because they weren't good enough to win it
@@ALIENdrifter66 so the year before you think Team Toyota Europe were not cheating ? You are a right mug and ford got robbed and that shows what you know about it

Nicky Grist! Almost Finnish co-driver! The best co-driver ever! He speaks that clear english, that every finnishmen understands him!!!
Juha. With great respect and Nicky is such nice guy and he deserve that. Get him a new front bumper... then nicky buy you a nice Ale...
Really nice story...
When rally cars actually looked like the car you had. Loved this period in rallying
Greatest era was the 90s and early 00s.
Gone down hill since.
They should go back to production cars and just add wings and front spoilers.
Nicky Grist talks like Colin McRae drove 👌👌👌👌👌👌 Perfect. Great video and fantastic interview 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
To think I had the pleasure of interviewing/comentaing on these two so many times up to 94 when I retired to Europe, thank you guys for reviving so many memeories!.
No words 24 carat gold interview ,Nicky a legend and Colin what a team ,and toyota gt4 what a machine .
Brilliant! Can you get gwyndaf evans or David Llewellin for some stories please?????
Now, those are 2 very good suggestions, but tell Gwyndaf, no bus stories, have enough of my own 😂
why does this not have more views?
Brilliant video great insight just watched the one with Malcolm Wilson as well.
Super interview - great chemistry. I love Nicky’s ability to remember every inch of tarmac on that story about the German rally in the Focus.😎
Another fantastic interview. I’ve always had huge respect for Nicky Grist. Thanks Howard

Brilliant brilliant video ... really enjoyed that Nicky wat a gentleman . who was the previous Irish driver .Austin McHale had alot of success in exactly the same car it was X works to.
I was thinking it had to be McHale. Thanks
@@phar874moochieter4 im guessing it's McHale but not sure I'd love to no . Remember nesbit had one to when they were newish in 96 97..
It was David Greer, he had it in Carryduff Forklifts livery with EIJ 2 number plate on it but it was original K-AM 3109
I met Colin and Nicky at Cheltenham in 1995 such lovely people, but I will never forget Richard burns nearly running us over on his moped.
Just found this channel, brilliant show, subscribed diolch yn fawr
Love watching you interview various people Howard the comedy is akin to a carry on film love it . Merry Christmas Howard .
Class as always Nicky
Its a pity It doesnt keep the original rims

Colin forever.
Nice one
Hello from Nairobi Kenya
We need proper full on rallies again. Not 3 days and about 10 miles.
Yeah he is a Welshman who was chatting to Nicky grist and he won the championship with juha Kankkunen in 1993 his first title win and Juhas 4th title before he went over to join Colin McRae where he stayed until 2002 where he and Nicky split up and Colin was reunited with Derek ringer which they won the 1995 championship
And it wasn’t until Nicky and Colin got back together again when they returned to the drivers seat in 2005 for Skoda which they nearly had a podium in Australia and they appeared again for Citroen as a substitute for the injured Sebastian loeb who was injured in the bike accident and that unfortunately was the last time they appeared together before Colin himself died in the helicopter accident
Ardderchog dros ben! Cefais pleser mawr yn gwrando arno chi’n dau.
Mad welshies, fekkin brilliant
Is it ex Austin McHale car from Ireland
Ex Austin McHale car or Eugene Donnelly???
Bet it was Chris Harris that actually bought the Focus doors and tailgate etc he’s a big fan of CM
So would it be fair to say that due to safari rally being seriously shortened and various other rallies having shorter stages that some titles were given and warranted as goals/targets were achieved but realistically the same stage mileage in the past they wouldn’t in fact be worthy of said titles.
🥰🥰🥰🥰
that isnt a 185 inlet manifold nicky.......... looks more like the 205........ top top car, iv got 2 to fix up yet hahaa

Size of 'im.
The only thing wrong with that Celica is the Pirelli tyre's it'a sat on..! They are bloody rubbish..!
I did $ 250,000 km in my road car
Can’t get exited about Toyota after the cheating as ford got robbed by TTE of a WRC title
You can call it cheating... or searching the boundries and gaps in the regulations... either way it was a brilliant piece of engineering.
Everybody was cheating in those years (or playing with the limits), some were really hard to find, like the Toyota one, and some were never found. But Toyota didn't rob any title as they were banned and lost the points of that year, if Ford didn't win another title it was because they weren't good enough to win it
@@ALIENdrifter66 so the year before you think Team Toyota Europe were not cheating ?
You are a right mug and ford got robbed and that shows what you know about it
@@pschard664 yeah let’s call it cheating as they got banned shall we
@@chiefrocka8604 They inspected their previous cars too after they caught them, so...
