He’s Coming Back

For those of you who know, Rusty is coming back. For those of you who don’t, well, it is time to stop hiding under a rock.

Burroughs is an amazing car artist. Mike didnt just build Rusty. He crafted Rusty with the same passion that an artist like Banksy crafts his artwork.

Here is a little photo-history of the car:

RS1 Hes Coming Back RS2 Hes Coming Back

RS3 1024x680 Hes Coming Back

RS41 Hes Coming Back

RS5 Hes Coming Back

RS6 1024x486 Hes Coming Back

RS Hes Coming Back

RS8 1024x593 Hes Coming Back

The car showed great progression. Rusty, as he is called, became less and less of a car and began to become something, something more real. He had personality. Though the rusted style is often controversial, that did not really matter with Rusty. He wasn’t trendy. He was an art piece.

And then disaster struck.

RS9 Hes Coming Back

The garage he was kept in befell to an accidental fire.

But he is being rebuilt… Rusty is not dead.

“Group B”

 

Rally racing has always been such an interesting style of racing to me. I remember being 13, turning on the speed channel late at night to watch the World Rally Championship and being enthralled seeing Petter Solberg and his peers navigate around the muddy european tracks with such skill and finesse. Rally racing had its golden age much earlier though, with a class of cars called “Group B.” I can go on explaining, but videos do the Group B racers much more justice.

 

I highly encourage you take it on yourself to research this great era of motorsports.
