I'll surprise you a bit Sean, I think the Fords will have their best finish to date at Argentina. And, I gave Petter some tips while he was at Rim, so he may finish a little higher too (haha). Risto is back with Tommi, so don't be surprised to see Ford and Subaru on the podium (probably about a foot below a Peugeot driver!).

It's all in fun.

Happy motoring, Tim

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Ford is gonna choke again... just a feeling I have. I will have to agree with Tim on the height of the Pug teams... haven't seen a start list, is Citroen in this one?

Tim, what'd you tell Petter, get a truck??? LOL...

I caught the tail end of a horrific (like 10-12 rolls) crash on Rpm2night but didn't get the driver. It looked like a Subaru. It was hard to tell because it was an amatuer vid. Hope they are all right.

BRAAAAAAAAP!

makinan (sp?) car 555 rolled it going into a corner at high speed. It was nuts! Me and my brother were watching it on tv and wondering how a desert racer (say class one) would have faired in that crash???

Are you talking about this crash?

[WRC]

Thats the one.
And talk about the luckiest guy in the world, how about the guy under the car when it gets air-born.

When I first watched it I wasn't sure whether that was a guy they flipped over or some trash in a bush or something. As it was a guy that is one lucky SOB!

[scott]

That was the luckiest guy ever. That Subi was a total yardsale. I hear of a TJ rally jeep coming in the works ;)~
