Yes this is it. Got relocated to dreamland. Was made in 1914

is he still alive

@@stuartwemyss4335I believe he is, he retired at the end of the 2004 season.

@@dylancullen3236 wonder how old he is now

@@stuartwemyss4335 around 80/81, from what I’ve heard anyway. He was 63 when he retired. Don’t ask how I know half of this 🤣

@@dylancullen3236 😂😂😂

She isn't going to shag you mate

exactly! she works so hard keeping the whole Pleasure Beach resort running, a true legend

He's complaining that the engine cuts off when the revs drop (under hard braking).

I think that's also because the top 4 basically refused to score points at the final 4 events. Prior to Wales Richard scored 8 points, Carlos 3 and Tommi and Colin 1 and 2 respectively.

Hantunen said in finnish podcast, he don't want continue with tommi, he replaced mannisenmäki in one rally and that's it.

Yes there was a lot of pressure coming from the FIA but still i wouldn't have let the car race without knowing it's true potential being a team principal. It was stupid...I'm amazed they didn't find these problems during testing

@@marfrandema1884 I think 2001 was basically the beginning of the downfall for Mitsubishi as a whole. With the ending of the FTO coupe a year before, the only two cars left to get excited about were the Eclipse and the Lancer Evo. Of course, the Pajero was succsesful in Dakar, especially with Hiroshi Masuoka behind the wheel, but no victories came after 2007. Meanwhile in WRC the factory team never recovered from the awful Lancer WRC (The 05 model looks sick though) and I think only managed one podium with an excellent drive from Hari Rovanpera, often overshadowed by the equally as good McRae drive. The Eclipse ended the dawn of the 2nd decade of the millena, and now they just churn out millions of crossovers :( would the Mitsubishi of 1996 bow down to the FIA like it did in 2001. Probably not. The horrible Lancer WRC made Tommi, the man that practically carried the entire Mitsubishi brand (Mitsubishi built cars especially for Makinen with his aggresive left foot braking style, which explains why only a driver of Richard Burn's quality could even get close to him) and it was probably the only way they knew how to build cars. A bit like the situation Red Bull F1 find themselves in. If Verstappen was to leave tommorow, they'd be f***d, since they build the cars for him. Overall they are dying a slow and painful death, as I can't imagine a reason why Renault would continue to financially support them.

@@gigadonis8684 I wish well to Mitsu but the last decade was a DISASTER for them...they lost the evo, ralliart, etc. But there are some slightly positive news cause they want to go back racing (likely dakar) and they are bringing back ralliart. Sadly no more sports cars as they can't afford them... To me it looks as if the old CEO was the reason behind the brand current disastrous state.

@@marfrandema1884 I guess there is hope... However to enter WRC (or almost any rally category for that matter) they would need an entirely new car. Their only chance before was the Space Star (very good car on DiRT Rally 2.0 btw) but they dropped it. Dakar could be cool though (they have literally 4 SUV's to choose from lmao), shame it doesn't actually go to Dakar anymore.

The FIA forced them to build a WRC

Interesting, I bought a Yamaha Stage Custom Advantage Nouveau after I had this kit!

@@marktrenfield i think i will recycle part of it to build a little kit for the street. 16 floor tom as bass drum ecc. :D

Smokes like Salonen and drifts like Toivonen and crosses the line like kankunen

What about the engine bay made it not wrc spec?

@@kiweeltyler3586 if you compare the engine bay of the Group A Lancer Evo 6 TME, Lancer Evolution 7 WRC and the Lancer WRC04/05 the Evo 6 and 7 will have the same engine bay and design, compared to newer Lancer WRC. When the Lancer WRC04 the car design was on the limit of the regulations

@@pedrolmaldonado1554 That whole car was underdeveloped, also Ralliart would have had to make up 3-4 years of experiance compared to Subaru, Ford, Peugeot, etc. As far as similarities go, the Evo WRC was basically the same as the 6.5, with the transmission being the biggest hindrance of the car. It also didn't help that they went with a bigger car when basically every other team went for smaller ones...

Yeah they shouldn't change the platform. He is easily comfortable in VI and still is more than capable to win. This car made him lost 01 title. Shame.

@@radityaindera3442 they had to, it was part of their agreement with FIA when they got permission to still use and very much overstep Gr. A rules with the Evo 6.5 for the 2001 season.

based on the evo VII visualy

@@strahinjastevic7480 Actually the car is originally based on a Lancer Cedia model. The Evo VII that we all can buy (either RS or GSR) is a homologation specials. You can refer to homologation documents that FIA has put up on their website.

This car based on standard Mitsubishi Lancer(Cedia) …..not EVO 7 !!! This Is my favourite Mitsubishi Rally car ever looks & sound great.

@@adriankasprzyk5364 sadly wasn't competitive

You Right

Ryan Dolan Interesting! I always thought it had been at the park longer than that!

@@marktrenfield I thought that too but it turns out it arrived at flamingo land in 1990 it was at Whitley bay from 1983 to 1989

Spanish city in Whitley bay I used to go there as a kid fond memories park is still there in places kept the white casino entrance but all the rest has gone it's now offices for the local council had a pirate ship there 2

Can’t be, music express is at M&D’s aka scotlands theme park and it doesn’t have the cover but you can see where the cover was.

@@danielledewitt1 So, if this isn't a Traver Caterpillar, then who made it?

@@jukingeo How would I know that? I don’t know these people who make these rides.

All I know that it was made in 1914 and was originally at pleasureisland southport till it got relocated to dreamland. I used to ride this when I was a child.

@@boshbash9137 1914, huh? Definitely before the Traver Caterpillars (1919), but Traver did start building rides in 1903. It would seem, then, that his Caterpillar was based on this one.

They should have been priced the same originally. But these were discontinued back in 2009, so that's probably why you're seeing the cheaper price.

@@akhristov Ohhh I see. makes sense! Thanks !!!

That "boing" noise is genuinely my favourite thing about this ride. It's even louder when it's loaded with people!
