    I could listen to you pair for hours. I really miss the 90's rally cars/crews. RIP Colin RIP Richard. I had the great pleasure of talking to Nicky and Colin at Lloret del Mar overnight car park at silly oclock in the morning, where Colin wasn't overly pleased the glorious imprezza actually fired up lol. All 4 true gents.

    Absolutely brilliant! As a die hard Canadian rally fan Tom McGeer was one of my heroes as a kid. I remember seeing this pairing on Canadian forest stages at 7 years old! That story with Terry Epp is priceless. I don't think it is known in the Canadian rally community and can't wait to share it!
    In 3 weeks I'll be co-driving at that same snowy French Canadian event, Rallye Perce Neige. Thank you for sharing this, Nicky! You've always been a legend to me and an inspiration as a codriver

    I've been a rally fan since the 90s and marshalled at Rally Australia in 1996. I have no idea how I missed knowing who Howard is, but by god he's entertaining. I love his channel. And of course you Nicky - your voice is the voice I always think of when I think of a co-driver!

    Met Howard in 2005 at the Rocky Mountain Rally when he sat with Tom McGeer. They unfortunately went off a bit early in the event. Met Nicky when we rallied at the Rim of the World Rally in California. Two legends.
