1977 Audi 50 LS (brother to the VW Polo). Audi built the first gen Polos alongside the 50s.

The only time I have ever seen an Audi 50 in the flesh, they (and their Polo equivalent) were never sold in Australia

The older brother to my Passat, they are identical under the body work. Audi 80

This dissected 1979 Audi 80 was interesting to compare to my Passat.

@vwdasher

Watched them scream to victory in the RAC rally around 1983. Very impressive flying through the Welsh forests in the early hours.

@RobertJackson58585858 such stunningly brutal cars too, they're made to destroy tracks at speed.

@vwdasher

Yes, and spectators. It was unnerving not knowing if we were walking on a 6 ft wide footpath through the forest or along the stage itself ... not until a car swept by.

@RobertJackson58585858 yeah a friend rallies and they're far more tightly run nowadays. Specific spectactor spots well back from the madness, it's a bloody dangerous sport.

@vwdasher

Good!

On another occasion in the Welsh forests we were treated to cars crawling by because idiots were standing on the stage. Some with flash cameras. So sad. Complete waste of a trip.

@RobertJackson58585858 yeah it's much safer now, because of those idiots. And deaths of idiots. Quite horrifying to watch video of those days, people were all over the course. Insanity.
