Patrick Snijers at the Manx Rally, 1988

The days of lightweight, rear-wheel drive sedans are well behind us, but we can reminisce, as in this video of Patrick Snijers flying over crests, sliding around corners, and generally tearing it up at the 1988 Manx Rally.

Bimmer fans will delight, though anyone can appreciate both the car and the level of skill it takes to drive at this level in any car--let alone 22 years ago.
