Michele Mouton and Fabrizia Pons behind the wheel again after all these years
Can you believe it? After all these years? They still look good too. If you were a fan of the Safari Rally in the 80s in Kenya, then you should know who these are and there is no need for introduction. Otherwise, go here.

This was a fearless all-female french/Italian crew that won the admiration of fans the world over not just because they were women, but because they were damn good drivers as well.They were in New Zealand this past weekend competing in the Otago Rally driving the same car we were used to seeing them in - the Audi Quattro all-wheel drive. This particular one, though, was driven by Hanu Mikola before it was retired.
