Shout out to Richard Burns too. Also died far too young and was a hell of a driver. Even had a game too which was and still is rated very highly by racing enthusiasts
Agree, had many great battles with Colin, was the total opposite of him as a driver and man .Great bloke by all accounts, liked by everyone. Funny enough I bought the Impreza RB 320 that came out in 2007 in memory of Richard, great car and actaully made money on it when they shot up in price in the 2010's, wish I'd have kept it now.
Had the honour of seeing Colin perform in Wales the year he won the World Championship rally He had 2 throttle settings on or off no middle ground his premature demise was so sad Rip colin
I played the Colin mcrae rally games on PlayStation back in the day and loved them both,he was a great ambassador not only for rally,but for Scotland as well. Love the vids guys keep them coming 👍🏻👍🏻❤🏴
I honestly think that Colin is the main reason why Subaru is seen as this rally legend. Because they're really not. Citroen, ford, VW, pegueot, toyota are all far more successful. But there is still something about a subie that makes you think you can drive like Colin.
@@volundrfrey896I honestly believe all these manufacturers you’ve mentioned are the late great needed to push to it’s limits in his consistent prime which I sole heartily believe he would have reached in any car if nature had given him the time, such pure natural talent
"Jim Clark - The Quiet Champion" is seriously worth a react in the Scottish motorsport theme. It's here on TH-cam. The story of arguably the greatest racing driver who ever lived (his % wins beat Hamilton, Senna, Schumacher etc.) and he won in pretty much every class he raced in. He even gave Nascar a go! Stateside he's most famous for his winning Indy. Would make a great reaction, I think you guys would love it.
Nicky Grist is Welsh. Colin McRea was Scottish. Donut running about giving people Irish and Australian accents lol. McRea is a British legend and always will be. His name lived with young folks at the time through a PS game and a fascination of a 555 Subaru WRX. RIP bro.
Many years ago i delivered a sofa to an office block. We put it in this big glass cube with just a huge tv and games console. I asked the 2 geeks that were, " whats the set up here?" They told me all they did all day was test games. The one they were due to test was the 1st colin mcrae wrc game. I didnt realise the significance but bought the game at some point later. It was EPIC at the time. Such a step up from ridge racer etc.
Also known as “Crash McRae”, the man was a legend! The magnificent thing about rallying, is the drivers & co drivers, are all mates. Between stages, they chat. It’s not so much me versus them, but the car, the driver, and co driver versus the stage.
DIRT Rally 2.0 is probably one of the hardest racing games to play.. seriously realistic, takes loads of concentration & that’s just to even finish a race, never mind win it 😳
@@rexoid0800 Richard Burns Rally is the game you want for real rally sim. DiRT Rally 2.0 is the closest modern variant that you can run on modern hardware without unofficial mods.
That's the thing about Rally Racing games like Dirt or Colin McRae Rally. You first gotta know how to even drive or control the car and finish the race before even learning how to actually win it. To this day, I've never won or got 1st place in standings in a Rally game (standard single rally mode) but man I will be ecstatic if I ever make it to the top 10.
My husband Mike was good friends with Jimmy, Colin’s dad, whilst he was at University of Stirling. He helped Alasdair, Colin’s brother, to learn to ride a bicycle. Mike used to rally in a Daf Marathon. Colin lived life to the full.
I've loved rallying from being a kid In 1995 when I was 15 years old, my very first real life glimps of a world rally car was Colin mcrae jumping sideways across the clumber Park bridge on the R.A.C rally. Britain's WRC RAally stages. The noise of the subaru popping and cracking through clumber Park woods was unforgettable. Awesome
James Pumphrey is an F*in legend. And I say that as a English guy, lots of American humour doesn't seem to translate but his absolutely does. He's like the funny angry drunk down in the pub 🤣
R.I.P. Colin - still gutted his life was cut short, but the joy and excitement he gave us will live on for ever. p.s. I'm Scottish and I LOVE haggis!❤ 🏁🏁🏁
Rally car champion Colin McRae has been blamed for causing the helicopter crash in which he died along with his five-year-old son and two family friends. Sheriff Stewart found that Mr McRae did not hold a valid flying licence or a valid "rating" for the Euro copter Squirrel helicopter he's pretty much hated in his home town, pity i use to watch him. I watched him race burns at Silverstone special stage amazing but killed 3 people and himself pissing about.
I can personally vouch for Donut Media’s channel!! Been a fan for a while!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND their “Up to Speed” videos the chef’s kiss of comedy and gear heads!! Enjoy dudes!!
It is a crazy thing that when his life was taken all too early it was in a helicopter crash rather than in a car. RIP Colin your style and class will last for ever. Richard Burns who won in 2001 and was runner up in 1999 and 2000, Richard was as exciting as Colin and he was also taken way too early with a brain tumour aged 34 another sad loss.
Interesting that you'd choose Colin McCrae as a react topic. Fun fact: My dad (a rally driver from here in N Ireland, now semi-retired, 70 years old this year), once beat Colin McCrae in a stage, though Colin was only 17 and my dad was probably about 30 at the time :p He likes to bring it up occasionally still [Edit: My dad would've known Colin's rally driver father Jimmy better than Colin, purely because of the age difference - from the local UK circuit]
The man, the myth, the legend! A few years back at a car festival, i got to see his dad Jimmy drive one of Colins cars. A preemptive comment before I even hit play.
My first ever job was selling event programmes at the 1992 (British) WRC at the Rother Valley stage. Needless to say it went horribly wrong as people thought I was the car park attendant and followed me around the open field and triple parked everyone boxing people in, but I got paid to be there so I didn't care.
"reciprocity" - Very American word I think. Reciprocation sounds more appropriate. :) Kinda like 'normalcy' which I think should be 'normality'. McRae was a legend. Richard Burns also had a Rally game, considered one of the best ever. Another Rally legend to check out is Juha Kankkunen (pronounced 'Hoohah'). Congrats on the 100k guys.
20:29 This record was beaten by 5 years last year :P Kalle Rovanperä, the son of legendary Finnish driver Harri Rovanperä, won at 22yo. And now won another championship back to back. Also, remember some other video about McRay did mention the causes of some of the crashes. For example, he often cut corners even when the navigator had called "no cut", in essence, not trusting the pacenotes they had made together. Definitely an awesome driver and wish he was still with us to drive, but the wrecklessness could've been lessened a bit without sacrificing too much.
Play dirt rally 2.0! Best rally sim game I’ve ever played and there’s even a game mode where you can play a version of Colin’s career, it’s called “Colin’s Journey”
McRae was always entertaining to watch, because you always knew he had the capacity to win, but also the capacity to lose, regardless of what anyone else in the rally did.
A rallying Happy Gilmore. Always thought that Legacy should have been in a game or two by now. Busted up and smoking. Edit:: In Colin's defence, not that it's needed, but he wouldn't have known the Ford Focus was such a dog when he signed, wasn't until they got into the races, when he'd already rolled the dice.
Sebastien Loeb Does have a rally game, also Richard Burns Rally was seen as the most "realistic" (at least for physics) rally game at the time it came out. Also there was a PC port of "Colin McRae Rally" which is NOT the original PC/PlayStation game from 1998(which is good), but a 2014 port of the mobile 2013 iOS game.(Which is not so good) Seems there hasn't been a Colin McRae/Dirt game in a while since EA bought the WRC licence.
We bought a 2 yrd old Turbo 2000 in 1999 before every chav bought them .., Green with the gold wheels , R555 WEB was the reg .. Then a new UK only WRX 300 (Prodrive bits) in 2005 .Nice but thirsty RIP Richard Burns , Taken so young
Cool Cars mate. When I started getting my first serious wage in the 90's, I ran out and bought a limited edition Violet Escort Cosworth, that thing was crazy and at the time looked like something from a different world, but it also drew so much attention, not in a good way and it was the age of TWOK especially where we live in Leeds and that made the insurance premiums become stupidly high, so I always lived with the fear that it had to be hid away. Funnily enough my dad had an RS 500 in the late 80's and that got stole 3 times, twice from the house and we got it back both times, after it had been used in an armed bank job and the 3rd time, it was taken from outside a restaurant never to be seen again. I had that Escort from 1997 to 2012, it was mint only 18k, but then i dropped on a 9k miles red Evo 6 Tommi Makinnen, now that thing made the Cosworth seema bit slow even though the Cosworth was running at 300bhp at the time, really was a great drivers car. Speaking of which , I sold the Evo 6 for good money because I hardly drove it and bought the RB320 Impreza, their tribute to Richard Burns, although not that much different to other specials it looked mean in all black ad all the little prodrive impovements like wheels, more BHP etc and gradually it became a classic, I wish i didn't sell it when i did, but you always think the grass is always greener.
Played loads of Colin Mcrae Rally back in the day. Codemasters, who make the game, are about 20 miles from my house and one of the tracks in the game (Little Lawford) is just down the road from me.
My favorite games about rally is Colin McRae Rally 2005 and CMR 04. Also DiRT 2 is cool, but two first sits in my heart as my childhood games that I love to play even today.
Have to tell you I now work for the very man who so narrowly lost out between him and Colin McCrae for sponsorship of rally sport. It was a very close run thing as both men were at the very top of their game at that time. It was an einey meeny miney mo. They were good friends as well as rivals. Shame somebody had to lose.
Spencer it depends which Dirt game you play. Most are pretty accessible, you can just pick them up and have good go but Dirt Rally (2015) and Dirt Rally 2.0 (2021) are the hardcore sims. It takes a lot of practice just to get around the track without crashing. It takes a lot of effort to get good but it's worth it when you do. The 2015 version is the better game.
I entered my first rally by borrowing my Mum's car too. My Mum was none the wiser but my Dad saw the mud on the roof and figured it out pretty quickly!
If you want a modern racing sim, go with DiRT Rally 2 (note the word "Rally" in the name). It's a sim instead of more arcade-like DiRT series. If you want a proper rally sim, look for the original Richard Burns Rally. It's old but with unofficial mods, you can still run it.
Haggis is terrific. I eat it whenever I get the chance. However, it's technically illegal in the US. Haggis traditionally contains the heart, liver, and lungs of a sheep, and sheep lungs have been deemed unfit for human consumption by the FDA, so no one is allowed you sell you any (and you can't legally import it).
Colin mcrae 2 on the original playstation was a game changer,it was the first with good driving dynamics ,one of the best games ever on ps1 ,the 2 million was the amount of people who spectated over the whole event ,throughout Britain over 4days ,not in 1 place at 1 time
He didn’t tell the full story of that championship season. At the second last event in Spain Colin was told to hold station and not push because the team wanted to secure the constructors championship, Colin ignored the team order and pushed taking the lead of the rally, his team had people on the stage trying to slow him down and he just drove through them without stopping “he didn’t hit them”. At the end of one of a stage the team held his car so he got a time penalty and finished the rally second. It was at the Spanish rally that Toyota were caught cheating which effectively meant the team order wasn’t needed after all. Footage of this is on TH-cam if I recall & is worth a watch to see that Colin was all about winning, win or lose it was to be on the stage not decided in an office. Edit: you can see the events of the Spanish rally in the video Racing Legends: Colin McRae about 24 mins & 30s into it. The whole video is well worth a watch.
A roll would have kicked the fuel cut-off, but, it's in the cabin and you just hit a button and fuel comes back on. [ many small EU cars have it in one of the A-pillar bottoms ]
We (me and friends) played the first Colin Game a lot. There was not a lot of good driving games out at the time on the PSX. I think there was V-Rally was not terrible, Destruction Derby was fun but not realistic. TOCA, a touring car game was pretty good but you raced on tarmac. And Ridge Racer, which again on tarmac and more arcade racer. Colin's rally game stood head and shoulders above them all. Even when Gran Tourismo came out the rally events in that game were no where near as good as Collin's. Even when you'd completed Collin's game there were cheat codes you could enter that completely changed the game, like driving a car made of jello, and silly things like that, It just gave the game a little more fun. I think it did so well because even though it was quite a challenging game even a player not familiar with racing games could pick it up and play it. It was also a fun game to play with a group of friends. We'd all sit around the TV and winner stays on. The loser past the P1 pad to the left and the P2 pad to the right. and we'd race time trials to see who go the fastest.
Dirt 4 is considered the most realistic rallye 🎮 ever. I didn't play 5 but for me though....Hell yeah! DIRT RALLYE SERIES FoR LIFE BABY...it is not easy to play but after you get adjusted...NOTHING COMES CLOSE!!!!😊
Hiya. Sorry, I had to come out at 3 mins 10. I couldn't take that "presenter" any longer. Probably just me. Hope you enjoyed it, I'm sure it must have concentrated on Colin more at some point. Congrats on the 100k. Stay safe. All the best to you.
Donut have some decent content. It's not selling out if it's a new car that turns out to be subpar. I doubt Ford told Colin the car would be that unreliable when selling him the deal
The DiRT series in itself isn't really for HC sim guys but the DiRT Rally series does the trick. It's in my opinion the best modern rallying simulator. Some would argue that Richard Burns Rally holds better to this day. Dirt's actually my main sim as I do regularly take part in the online events.
the population of scotlans in 1995 was 5.1 million. 2 million turned up for colin hahahaha (lots of them were british id guess but its still RIDICULOUS)
Growing up in the 90s, my da and brother were big McCrae fans, myself was a big Tommi fan. But I don't think a single rally fan out there didn't love him, and the pair of them together with Sainz, Burns, Auriol were just another great example of a kind of unwritten rule of motor racing, for one driver to be great, they need to race against other great drivers: Fangio had the likes of Ascari, Moss, Farina. Clark had Graham Hill, Brabham, Gurney, Mclaren, Phil Hill, Bandini. Lauda had Hunt, and also Regazzoni, Fittipaldi, Andretti, then Rosberg, Prost, Senna, Mansell. Schumacher had Senna, Damon Hill, Jacques Villenueve, Hakkinen, Coulthard, Alonso, Kimi. Dale Earnhardt had Waltrip, Gordon, Bodine, Rusty. Colin and Burns are missed and not forgotten legends of motorsport.
Well this is one Scottish person who loves haggis, oh and was a massive fan of Colin McRae . I drove tais for 30 years and more than once passengers who were running late but still got there on time would say are you related to Colin McRae .
If you have a steering wheel set up, you must play and love the colin mcrae game series, dirt is not as good as the original rally version, 2005 was the last one before it became dirt, i think. Great drivin mechanics and great fun. Been playing it since version 1. Awsomme game. Wrc10 is better now for pure rallying imo. Great video by the way. Rip colin
From a full on sim perspective dirt rally and dirt rally 2 are the most realistic of the series (the Colin McRae name was removed from the series after his death). Dirt 5 is the latest one but is a really bad and a commercial flop. The most fun game imo is dirt 3, it’s more arcade than the dirt rally games but is a lot of fun
Dirt is by far the best newer rally racing games in my opinion. Dirt 2.0 is the best one if you're interested! Not the newest but the most authentic and it has an amazing mode called historic rally where you can race the most iconic rally cars from previous eras.
Nah Dude, we love haggis here in Scotland. Deep fried haggis is one of the more popular fast foods. You’d be surprised if you had it, it’s like spicy minced meat, like taco filling
Dirt rally and dirt rally 2.0 are really solid as well as the last couple installments of the wrc games. Dirt 5… more of an arcade racer trying to be a sim game at times and that never works. Also not sure how much you know about the guy in the video but James is also an “actor” he’s had some funny lines on drunk history.
I live a few miles from Colins home town and LOVE haggis . This guy saying "when in doubt, go flat out" was quite irritating. Its definitely "if in doubt, flat out"
Shout out to Richard Burns too. Also died far too young and was a hell of a driver. Even had a game too which was and still is rated very highly by racing enthusiasts
Agree, had many great battles with Colin, was the total opposite of him as a driver and man .Great bloke by all accounts, liked by everyone.

Colin really rolled himself into Finnish rallyfans hearts back then. He was really something else, and is truly missed.
Kilin Colin and many Finnish drivers had some fantastic battles for victory over the years.
Yes. Commentator was on fire
Had the honour of seeing Colin perform in Wales the year he won the World Championship rally
He had 2 throttle settings on or off no middle ground his premature demise was so sad
Rip colin
And you Finns are something else at rally the masters I would say warms my scottish heart that you liked and respected him
I played the Colin mcrae rally games on PlayStation back in the day and loved them both,he was a great ambassador not only for rally,but for Scotland as well.
Love the vids guys keep them coming 👍🏻👍🏻❤🏴
every boy in Scotland had colin mcrae rally as it was the first driving game that you could select Scotland as a nationality.
Loved the rally school section - was such a great touch
Colin made the Subaru Impreza sales rocket up in the UK. So many drove to his house to pay tribute after his death 🙏🏻

Oh wow! Damn that was such an amazing era for Subaru WRXs. My dad had a (much cheaper) Impreza as a Group A rally car in the early 2000s.

Have a good week!

Reciprocate is the verb. Reciprocation is an example of the verb in action. Reciprocity is a discussion of the qualities of the verb.
@@andrewgrant6516 You'll never hear that word in the UK. Same for normalcy or healthful (instead of healthy).

Says it all the population of the whole country in 1995 was 5.135 million!!! so for the to be 2 million there, wow just wow, such a driver.
Spencer it depends which Dirt game you play. Most are pretty accessible, you can just pick them up and have good go but Dirt Rally (2015) and Dirt Rally 2.0 (2021) are the hardcore sims. It takes a lot of practice just to get around the track without crashing. It takes a lot of effort to get good but it's worth it when you do. The 2015 version is the better game.
Colin mcrae rally was thee driving game on console at one point .. the game had break neck speed racing in rain 1st person at night.. awesome game
Congrats lads!!
I entered my first rally by borrowing my Mum's car too. My Mum was none the wiser but my Dad saw the mud on the roof and figured it out pretty quickly!
just subscribed, just to make you two mad cnts happy
Colin's antics did not hurt the sales of the Focus. Very reliable. [ I have a 2.0 '02 Focus ]
If you want a modern racing sim, go with DiRT Rally 2 (note the word "Rally" in the name). It's a sim instead of more arcade-like DiRT series. If you want a proper rally sim, look for the original Richard Burns Rally. It's old but with unofficial mods, you can still run it.
Haggis is terrific. I eat it whenever I get the chance.
However, it's technically illegal in the US. Haggis traditionally contains the heart, liver, and lungs of a sheep, and sheep lungs have been deemed unfit for human consumption by the FDA, so no one is allowed you sell you any (and you can't legally import it).
Colin mcrae 2 on the original playstation was a game changer,it was the first with good driving dynamics ,one of the best games ever on ps1 ,the 2 million was the amount of people who spectated over the whole event ,throughout Britain over 4days ,not in 1 place at 1 time
If it's moving under it's own power, and it's on the stage, it will be driven until it stops moving.
Colin McCrash was definitely an entertainer
Loved watching Colin…”Straight roads are for fast cars, corners are for fast drivers”
He didn’t tell the full story of that championship season. At the second last event in Spain Colin was told to hold station and not push because the team wanted to secure the constructors championship, Colin ignored the team order and pushed taking the lead of the rally, his team had people on the stage trying to slow him down and he just drove through them without stopping “he didn’t hit them”. At the end of one of a stage the team held his car so he got a time penalty and finished the rally second. It was at the Spanish rally that Toyota were caught cheating which effectively meant the team order wasn’t needed after all. Footage of this is on TH-cam if I recall & is worth a watch to see that Colin was all about winning, win or lose it was to be on the stage not decided in an office.
Edit: you can see the events of the Spanish rally in the video Racing Legends: Colin McRae about 24 mins & 30s into it. The whole video is well worth a watch.
A roll would have kicked the fuel cut-off, but, it's in the cabin and you just hit a button and fuel comes back on. [ many small EU cars have it in one of the A-pillar bottoms ]
We (me and friends) played the first Colin Game a lot. There was not a lot of good driving games out at the time on the PSX. I think there was V-Rally was not terrible, Destruction Derby was fun but not realistic. TOCA, a touring car game was pretty good but you raced on tarmac. And Ridge Racer, which again on tarmac and more arcade racer. Colin's rally game stood head and shoulders above them all. Even when Gran Tourismo came out the rally events in that game were no where near as good as Collin's.
Even when you'd completed Collin's game there were cheat codes you could enter that completely changed the game, like driving a car made of jello, and silly things like that, It just gave the game a little more fun.
I think it did so well because even though it was quite a challenging game even a player not familiar with racing games could pick it up and play it. It was also a fun game to play with a group of friends. We'd all sit around the TV and winner stays on. The loser past the P1 pad to the left and the P2 pad to the right. and we'd race time trials to see who go the fastest.
Dirt 4 is considered the most realistic rallye 🎮 ever. I didn't play 5 but for me though....Hell yeah! DIRT RALLYE SERIES FoR LIFE BABY...it is not easy to play but after you get adjusted...NOTHING COMES CLOSE!!!!😊
RIP Colin. F*cking Legend!
Hiya. Sorry, I had to come out at 3 mins 10. I couldn't take that "presenter" any longer. Probably just me. Hope you enjoyed it, I'm sure it must have concentrated on Colin more at some point. Congrats on the 100k. Stay safe. All the best to you.
I belive ”Maximum attack” comes from Markku Alen, another great finnish rally driver.
Donut have some decent content.
It's not selling out if it's a new car that turns out to be subpar. I doubt Ford told Colin the car would be that unreliable when selling him the deal
The DiRT series in itself isn't really for HC sim guys but the DiRT Rally series does the trick. It's in my opinion the best modern rallying simulator. Some would argue that Richard Burns Rally holds better to this day. Dirt's actually my main sim as I do regularly take part in the online events.
the population of scotlans in 1995 was 5.1 million. 2 million turned up for colin hahahaha (lots of them were british id guess but its still RIDICULOUS)
McRae Went full send in Rally, and Pumphrey goes full send on the Scottish stereotype!
Haggis is amazing with a nice whisky sauce. 😋 It’s also good as part of a fried breakfast.
Many Scots are put off for the same reason as non Scots.
Only thing to say McCrae = LEGEND! Simples
A true example of "Win it or bin it". Or both..
Loved watching mcrae and the colin mcrae rally for ps1 is still one of the best
When racing drivers had some personality... A lost breed. The Nigel Mansell of the rally world.
Growing up in the 90s, my da and brother were big McCrae fans, myself was a big Tommi fan. But I don't think a single rally fan out there didn't love him, and the pair of them together with Sainz, Burns, Auriol were just another great example of a kind of unwritten rule of motor racing, for one driver to be great, they need to race against other great drivers: Fangio had the likes of Ascari, Moss, Farina. Clark had Graham Hill, Brabham, Gurney, Mclaren, Phil Hill, Bandini. Lauda had Hunt, and also Regazzoni, Fittipaldi, Andretti, then Rosberg, Prost, Senna, Mansell. Schumacher had Senna, Damon Hill, Jacques Villenueve, Hakkinen, Coulthard, Alonso, Kimi. Dale Earnhardt had Waltrip, Gordon, Bodine, Rusty. Colin and Burns are missed and not forgotten legends of motorsport.
I'm scottish and i love haggis
There are many different ways to have it
Take a look at Donut Media's recent video about the Subaru Impreza P1
Dude, network Q rally is a great old school throwback if you want a good rally game
Well this is one Scottish person who loves haggis, oh and was a massive fan of Colin McRae . I drove tais for 30 years and more than once passengers who were running late but still got there on time would say are you related to Colin McRae .
If you have a steering wheel set up, you must play and love the colin mcrae game series, dirt is not as good as the original rally version, 2005 was the last one before it became dirt, i think. Great drivin mechanics and great fun. Been playing it since version 1. Awsomme game. Wrc10 is better now for pure rallying imo. Great video by the way. Rip colin
When in doubt... flat out😂
"Colin was brought to our attention"
From a full on sim perspective dirt rally and dirt rally 2 are the most realistic of the series (the Colin McRae name was removed from the series after his death). Dirt 5 is the latest one but is a really bad and a commercial flop. The most fun game imo is dirt 3, it’s more arcade than the dirt rally games but is a lot of fun
Airton Senna na F1 e Collin no rally,lendas
Dirt is by far the best newer rally racing games in my opinion. Dirt 2.0 is the best one if you're interested! Not the newest but the most authentic and it has an amazing mode called historic rally where you can race the most iconic rally cars from previous eras.
People are still buying subarus to this day because of him. Someone just paid $500k dollars for colins own 22b it is over 20 years old.
IM ENGLISH with a Scottish dad Haggis is nice .obviously it as Variation but what I Tride I enjoyed.
Colin, Kobe, Stevie Ray Vaughan...... The sad list goes on of great people being killed by helicopter accidents. I hate them machines 😞
dirt 2 is 1 of the very best rally sims out there
Finnish Rally Drivers on Ice is a whole knew level of madness? Check out Ari Vaahtanen. The best rally driver of my lifetime, ... hands down!
He isn’t the youngest wrc champ anymore
I only played Сolin McRae 04 on the computer
The Dirt Rally games are still the best in my opinion.
Nah Dude, we love haggis here in Scotland. Deep fried haggis is one of the more popular fast foods.
You’d be surprised if you had it, it’s like spicy minced meat, like taco filling
Dirt rally and dirt rally 2.0 are really solid as well as the last couple installments of the wrc games. Dirt 5… more of an arcade racer trying to be a sim game at times and that never works. Also not sure how much you know about the guy in the video but James is also an “actor” he’s had some funny lines on drunk history.
An icon of our time, up there with F Dibnah, both men that moved the needle forward. Legends.😢
I live a few miles from Colins home town and LOVE haggis . This guy saying "when in doubt, go flat out" was quite irritating. Its definitely "if in doubt, flat out"
So Colin McRaes Mother is Irish? I never knew that, certainly sounded Irish.
The 1992 roll the co driver was going to get out Colin asked where the Fk he was going. Colin had the car started and ready to go
Anybody remember the joke - what's worst than the McCanns' taking your kids on holiday? Colin McRae bringing them back.
No
Loeb actually does have a game . Loeb rally
