You can say that again, Pond was a real Rally master, just look at his performance in the '93 Ulster Rally, top ten with the little Rover Metro without any sort of power steering on a twisty, tight, Irish road.
Aside from the fact electronic aids don't allow certain rally recovery manuvers, quite a handful of amateur's cars were crashed when overheating brakes burned ABS sensors and system rapidly stopped working during braking to corners.
Under rated top English driver of his day. With watching Pond in the RAC rally Driving a Metro 6R4 as a works driver for British Leyland
Happy days
This drive and the Rover 827 around the Isle of Man really set the standard. Old school cars with no driver aids absolutely mastered 👍

The ageless joy of cars sliding round corners 😀
