Great looking car!

[Donney]

Indeed!

7th Heaven for Loeb this weekend I feel. But hopefully Duval's car will run as good as it looks. Anyone got any idea what the weather forecast will be? Rain would shake things up a bit but that would probably just play into Loebs hands even more.

Germany is always one of my favourite rallies of the year and hopefully this year will be no exception.

weather is going to be lottery.. as far as I can see from my weather model.. (I am hobby meteorologist). There is a chance of rain showers every day and it is unusually cold at least on Friday (16-17 degrees). The best weather looks to be on Thursday and maybe on Saturday as well.

What a strange and boring rally! It's wednesday already, but still no photos of the new Focus are available. Seems like all service-park and journalists are dead. Even in this thread is there just 6 posts. Argh...

Well maybe the journalists dont bother do go there, they all think Loeb will win so they use last years headlines

[HaCo]

LOL Koppo...

I'm also looking forward to the new nose of the Focus, but I heard they would just use decals to make the lights bigger because they had to do to much aero development!?! Don't know if it's true, but we'll see.

I will leave for Germany in a few hours, so I hope the rally won't be boring White Sauron.
