So many TH-camrs drive like grandmas on tracks and say it was exhilarating. Props for thrashing that car such that I can see you're moving fast on video. Keep it up
That's because most of them can't drive. This guy can, and so can Chris Harris, but Top Gear stole him so his channel is dead.
@@michaelsteffensen6844 Chris Harris is much better on his own. The format of Top gear that they just continued from the Clarkson days doesn't suit him at all. They honestly should've revamped the whole show.
Right?
Take a look at David from Driving Experience (amazing channel) on his last video driving a Group B Rally Winner on the road. And driving it...not cruising :D
@@michaelsteffensen6844 Harris actually (used to) participating in the VLN N24 and Blancpain Endurance series, which sorta explains his driving skills
Honestly, Colin wouldn't have it any other way... "If in doubt, flat out!!"
"If in doubt...flat out!" McRae the legend. RIP
"if in doubt, flat out"
When in doubt. Pimp my Riiiiide
@@hondamanvtec2894 x-zibit
Eh no..
@@360nastybusiness eh..Yes
Eh...lol
Being both a McRae and a Subaru WRC team fan, I almost cried watching this.
Me too
Good man. They are both sorely missed.
Only sweet memories left,nothing like the impreza gc8 n mc rae.😉👍
R.I.P legend
Me to big time
Just wonderful. What a dream to have this opportunity. Thanks for the video!
Rally cars really are something else
I still remember in 2007 the day my cousin sent me a message on MSN asking if I had heard the news. Seeing this hearing him say i would drive this flat out, with no doubt really brought a tear in my eye. Thanks for this video, made my day to see a part of McRae alive again.
The car is saying these at the same time “glad to go out again” and “COME ON YOU MAN DRIVE HARDER”
Best car video of 2019 without a doubt.
If there were clips of the pure sound of the car without the music, then it would be
Bro I thought the exact same thing!
No that would be the top gear video of the first Porsche watch it if you haven’t.
Absolutely :)
No one can disagree
I’ve not watched this yet but this has to be a bucket list moment for you Henry surely!?
shane holley Very much so!
Henry, I’ve followed your career since your early Evo days and can appreciate just how much this experience meant to you, thank you for making it possible for us to come along for the ride. Outstanding
....or as i used ti call him when i was youger: Colin McRally
Lol, i thought i was the only idiot that called him that 😂
I used to call him Colin McCrash
cos Germany has no sense of humour :)
I saw this very car back in the Safari in 97 back here in Kenya. On the day that WRC announces a return of the Safari Rally to the 2020 calendar i really appreciated this clip. Simply Brilliant!!
@Roger Dodger im in!
Yea i also remember this car racing in the plains of kajiado
Literally smiling so hard my face hurts. Favorite car to ever exist. Awesome video guys
The profile of those gravel tyres looks so high!
Well done to this chap for keeping this piece of history alive. Love the line "If I had just one more tank of fuel..."
that line is on par with "your last meal".
so poignant
Catchpole with the full send
The first generation Impreza was the best. That wicked rear wing still leaves me in awe. I can tell, this was a bucket list wish for Henry, he loved it.
You can really see how fun this car is too drive, usually that doesn’t translate to video but this looked like something very special.
My dream car when I was a teenager, everything about it was fantastic, still looks awesome!
I went to pick up a dishwasher for my daughter and the bloke had two of Colin McRae’s cars in his garage. One Subaru and the other was his ford focus. They looked beautiful. A clutch for the focus was £12k. This bloke was in communication with Colin’s dad.👍
Befriend the bloke then
Wait...your daughter's a female, so isn't she the dishwasher?
who the fuck buys a used dishwasher
@@divanosoba9658 might not be bought, these things are difficult to get rid of alone. Sometimes people list things to get rid.
@@fingmoron if only you could read properly: "I went to pick up a dishwasher for my daughter" . That means he bought it used for his daughter.
The title of the video gave me goose bumps, that car passed me in transition from Silverstone super special stage to the M1 (A43) on the way to the next stage (I think Birmingham not sure a while ago) doing exactly 70mph on a dual carriageway and every single driver that wasn't in a rally car did 50-60 mph on inside lane just so we could see . Special memory.
Carfection has got to be without a shadow of a doubt the best motoring channel on youtube at the moment, Ive yet to see Henry do a bad video.
Id love to see an all new motoring show with Henry, Mr JWW, Chris Harris and Jethro Bovingdon.
Sutcliffe and Meaden surely before JWW... Even Tiff...
Harry's garage too, if we are collecting the sort of channels you can mix, match and watch for hours.
JWW does not belong in that list
Thats just my opinion lads
Actually, where's Jethro? I have not seen him in a long time...
Can you please stop it henry... Stop making me cry with such beautiful videos and that calming voice. PLEASE STOP!
The mid-90s was magical for racing.
Superbikes, (WSB), cars...... Everything was just so much more exciting. So glad I had the privilege of growing up in that era.
i love it how you ended it with saying "flat out, no doubt" as homage to McRae's When in doubt, flat out !
I don't think I will ever tire of this channel...
what a shame you put music over the flat 4 engines soundtrack
This gave me goosebumps. Thanks for taking us along in a once in lifetime thrash.
The intro!!!
I'm not even one minute into the video and absolutely amazed.
The link from past to present with a drift with the logo transition.
I'm actually standing up applauding.
Well done gentleman, well done!
Henry getting to drive one of my Holy Grail cars. Thank you.
This is the first ever moment where I wanted Henry to not talk anymore and just drive! Drive it like its always meant to be!😍
Pllleeease post some uncut footage of the in car camera. Pretty please with cherrys on top. 😀😉
I love how he communicate with the car properly. Look at his lines, angles, steering input and throttle works. Its amazing
Mr. Henry Catchpole, you sir are the luckiest man alive to have such a massive opportunity to drive the best Subaru bar none in the world and the envy of every male rally fan in the world, you have just won your bucket list lottery, thank you and much gratitude for bringing this video to fruition to all humble subscribers, freaking awesome👍
RIP CM 🏁
a great driver and a gentleman.
great memories of CM Rally on PlayStation (v1.0)
I saw McRae wrc Subaru 1997! I clicked as fast as I can! Dude a f...... Legend! Thank you for giving the passion of Subaru's car! It's my 9th Subaru and I own 😂
My god I miss Colin Steele McRae MBE, thank you Henry for taking us along for the ride
Special car - if in doubt, flat out - and boy did Colin make those cars dance.
I still get goose bumps recalling the only stage of the RAC that crossed into Scotland when McRae won the WRC title in '95 we were spectating in the forest over a crest with a right, left, right fast chicane that was unsighted by the crest and Colin was visibly faster than all the top drivers and came into sight sideways ready for that first right with the car up on it's tip toes. Fabulous times thank you Henry for bringing it back to me watching this video.
Only 7 mins? I could watch a full hour of this! Thank you, for this amazing content!
Damn i used to play his games in PS1, R.I.P Legend😢😢
Wow, what a car and what a pedigree. We talk about the legend who is McRae, but let's not forget the army of people that brought this wonderful machine to life. We salute you all.
The quality of this video is second to none.
One of my favourite cars ever! That would be my last tank of fuel! RIP Colin. I bet he enjoyed this! Cheers from Portugal!
Love the music the car is producing
Brilliantly done folks! Another amazing video. Thank you so much.
Henry, another fantastic video yet again, hands down. You are such a living legend! Thank You for doing these 👊
It's safe to say that hendry will even pay Carfection money to do this JOB. I really love his excited face
This gave me goosebumps. Fantastic film, great editing and just enough sound to make me want to dip into TH-cam’s rabbit-hole of WRC footage. Thanks, Henry!
I actually got goosebumps watching you drift around those corners
Just from this video, idk if the editing played a part but that car looks like one of the most engaging cars I’ve ever seen.
Henry, Carfection and Max G. , thank you so much for this. This piece is truly your best so far. Loved the slide in the opening sequence. Could watch hours worth of b-roll... just saying...
Thank you Mr Catchpole and Co. (just living vicariously through Harry's drives).
Takes me back to my youth, care free days, when i would avidly follow all motorsport on tv.
Legend
this and makinen's evo v are my all-time favorites. what an honor it would be to drive. great video, great driving.
Thank you Henry catchpole and Subaru
The 2 door Impreza is one of the greatest cars man has ever built. You don't get into one of these, you strap it on. Absolutely beautiful video.
I've owned a lot of fast cars and bikes but the best toy I ever had for pure exhilaration was a 98 WRX with $30K of mods. Ive always rated that experience at the top, way above road bikes, dirt bikes, skiing, snow boarding, bungee jumping, sky diving, hang gliding..... That amazing chapter ended in 2005 after I hit a tree wiping the entire right side out, another 1/2 foot across and I wouldn't be writing this.
Stoked for you Henry. I know how much you love the art form of driving that is rallying. You must still be pinching yourself!
I love anything Henry does. I think this is my favorite video of them all!
Gives me goosebumps even to watch it .. seen it in real-time going full attack with the unreal Colin at the wheel , never will I forget it.
Catchpole you lucky bastard!
This made me emotional.....Im getting old...
Terrific content Carfection and it would be nothing without the outstanding reviews and drives from Henry.
Bucket list stuff Henry!!! Awesome content on the best car channel on any platform :) Thanks for bringing it to us!
THIS. IS. EVERYTHING!
I'm Indonesian and I love McRae with his Subaru drove into the forest and mud in Rally Indonesia WRC '97. There were few accident that cannot be forgotten, and I was 2 years old. And then i replicated his moves in Colin Mcrae Rally in my PS One. A very memorable moment.
Epic. Such a special car that fitted McRae perfectly. I am very envious Henry, thank you for sharing it.
AMAZING ! Henry you may have done more elaborate reviews, but this one is probably one of the most emotional and I loved it ! This is the car that really drove me into rallying as well. Hats off for the claim « if I would have one last tank of gas » !
Excellent shots by your videographer as well.
Thanks for this superb content !
Great Video. All I will say is I've had my original classic shape Impreza for 20 years as my daily drive and it still puts a big smile on my face every time I take her out.
I. LOVED. This episode. Great job capturing the sense of driving this absolute legend of a car!
This remains one of the top 5 car related films in my list. Bravo, Carfection, and Henry, of course.
Dude, this video made me feel so happy for you. How incredible it must've been to drive such an icon!
This car is everything, Colin was everything, this is where my love of 4 wheels comes from, one off the bucket list Henry
Incredible video, it was masterfully edited. Nice job. I bought 2001 2.5rs Impreza when I was 18 years old. I have always had a soft spot and a love for the GC8 platform. Thanks for sharing this with us on TH-cam.
Well done Henry, what a fitting piece to bring to the masses, the emotion and tactility of such an iconic car, the fact that Colin had sat in that exact seat before you must have brought a tear to your eye. Thankyou for your efforts in bringing this wonderful piece of history to our screens.
I have always been a Mitsubishi Evo kind of guy (own one) and Tommi Makinen fan, but have always had massive respect for the Subaru Impreza WRC car and Colin McRae. Group A rally was the best form of rallying in my opinion, and always had me glued to the TV screen as a teenager. Watching the Evo v Impreza v Celica v Escort v Delta face-off was epic. Awesome video!
Late 90's nostalgia gives a lovely warm feeling in the pit of my stomach...
Seeing the 22B on the streets back then was something special and of course the revolutionary motorcycle back then was the Yamaha R1...
Good times!
0:33 holy mother of god THAT SOUND OMGGGGG
Thank you Carfection, thank you Henry, thank you Girardo, oh my word this is incredible!
Awesome, great video guys.
When dreams come true 😍 superb video as always!
My drive .... Ari Vatanen’s Escort RS1800 in Rothmans livery ...... it was on my bedroom wall for years ...... just the noise. Great video Henry 👍
This video was without a doubt epic, hugly appreciating Catchpoles driving skills
What a video. What a car. What an era. Thank you for making this video Henry.
Your last line was not lost on me. If in doubt flat out. Often in my mind. Used to sell every Impreza Turbo I could get as they were in very short supply due to Colin and Richard's fame.
This enthusiastic owner definiately deserves this car! Well done, and thanks for sharing to make this video! Subaru forever!
The engine sound is perfection
This brings back memories of VRALLY on PS1
This will be going on my list of go to videos. Excellent stuff.
Henry's enthusiasm as a gearhead is palpable, I love it.
McRae and Burns.. never forgotten.
Looks so nimble m, beautiful cinematography chaps... thank you for making this video. I’m not sure it was this car at Goodwood FoS but one of them totally a fantastic car to watch 🙏
Thank you so much for this video, ohhhh nostalgiaa!!!
Best Impreza video all of time, absolutely dreams come true...
Love all your videos!
Congrates Henry on the experience of a life time!! Great film, thank you.
perfect video to start off my morning at the office
7:08 is just not enough i mean come on!!
indeed I was like wtf is that it.......
The Computer games Colin McRae 1 and especially 2.0 was just amazing and I always drove this Subaru. RIP Mr McRae.
That last tank of fuel remark got me close to tears.
Favorite memory of my Subaru is power sliding down mountain hairpins with clouds literally coming in one window and out the other.
WOW! So very cool! I'm a huge fan of this era of rallying. Thanks.
