The Cameraman Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hey Ashley, those Stratii are very nice but that SWB Audi S1 gets my blood flowing like no other car ever built, they're my absolute all-time favourite car ever built. Ahhhhhhhhh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetroRacing Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Neat work Ashley, I like that! Missed your wip thread sorry, but I'm off for a read of it now! Nice Strat! Keith Thanks and that's OK Keith. Glad you managed to catch the rfi though lol. The wip doesnt have a lot to it really as this became an also build over time lol. Hey Ashley, those Stratii are very nice but that SWB Audi S1 gets my blood flowing like no other car ever built, they're my absolute all-time favourite car ever built. Ahhhhhhhhh. Thanks. The Quattro is a paper model I built a few years back. I'm thinking of making a new one to see if I can make it better lol. I also have plans for the Pikes Peak version too Ashley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cameraman Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hi Ashley, well that's one thread I'd be keen to follow. I used to follow UK Rallying back in the late '70's, early '80's, and consider was lucky enough to be around when the sport was at it's very best. The noise of a Stratos, barking it's way through a forrest stage, at night, had to be heard to be believed! A friend of mine owns a none Turbo quattro coupe, we were leaving an airfield where there was an exotic car driving day taking place and we floored it and every single person there turned around and smiled in appreciation. Great day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great day. Thanks Reggie. Not sure when I'll get round to the paper models. They are a faff all of the own lol. And you certainly can't beat the sound or a v6 Barking away. I still maintain the best is the full international spec 3.0L Metro 6r4 The Quattro 5 cylinder is a class of its own too. Especially turbo's with a proper wastegate lol. My friend had a Metro GTI sprint car with a chipped 1.4 k series. Otherwise standard engine, but it had a side exit exhaust and even with a massive central box filled to bursting with padding it still only just scrapped through the noise tests. It was the loudest car in the championship hehe. Very nice Love them all Rgds Thanks. The kits themselves have a large part in their outcome I think lol. Better stock up on the popcorn then for the WIP's lol.... Lol thanks. They probs won't make an appearance until next year unfortunately. I just discovered I actually have 9 037's in the stash lol Ashley 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy37 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hi Ashley . I tried to build a paper kit Quattro S1 , but gave up . Far to fiddly and loads of cutting involved . Your completed model looks great though . I like the look of your die cast collection too . I filled the gaps in my plastic kits with die cast models to form my history of rally cars collection . I agree about engine sounds . Modern WRC cars sound flat and strangled . Give me a BDG any day !!! Gary . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetroRacing Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Thanks Gary. So looks like there will be a wip on the paper S1's then judging by the interest a back of shot glimpse has gained. Haha Won't be for a good while yet though. Yes I started collecting diecast group B and associated cars as there wasn't a large amount avaliable as plastic kits. Im a group B boy haha. Even trying to write a book with 100% correct facts lol. 1 chapter in 4 years, oh dear And I agree with modern WRC. The cars even look boring on the stages. The supposed better 2017 rule changes haven't made a difference in that regard when watching the test footage The problem is there's too many rules governing the cars and only 1 class. But hey people wish we had Group S yet don't realise, we actually do lol. Ashley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
