Yes - me too. I confess to watching it - great footage though I didn't spot the syncro. The programme they did on Group B rallying was equally as good.

Anyone catch the programme they showed on the antikythera mechanism......truely amazing, probably still on Iplayer too.

BBC 4 and 6music (with a hint of R4 for the news) here as well.

XT500, I had one of them back in 81/82, bloody once I'd fitted a RoadRunner on the back and a Speed master on the front. Super Motard style before they became popular.
