Fiat Uno on Road Rally - Photo supplied by driver to accompany road rally article. Note that despite appearing to be stationary and propped up on stands, in fact the car was travelling at about 80mph, and the photographer measured the length of the jump at 51 feet! The look of terror on the navigator's face compared to the deadpan of the driver's is priceless! Result for this giant-killer was 9th overall, 1st in class out of a total entry of about 60, despite being laughed at at the start. It was my best ever result as a driver. The car was totally standard 999cc FIRE except for uprated brakepads, silicon brake fluid and the driving lights. It beat many 2 litre+ fully-prepared cars on this event. The event was the 1992 Noreaster rally, run in Cambridgeshire - an event notorious for its extensive use of green lanes and fiendish navigation. Navigator here was Andy Watson, driver was Graham Cox.
