[urq] Discovery Channel on Wednesday Night

[Thatcher Hubbard]

That wouldn't be a bad video to have, not just because of the Urq but
the RS200 and the Stratos are pretty cool cars as well.

If I was loaded, and was looking to buy another historic rally-type
car, the RS200 would be on the top of my list.  It seems it probably
was not as fast as either the 205 or the Delta S2 but it was the best
looking of that group.
