One day when I will have a garage, I think I will start a car-building project...
Again I want to thank everyone for the interest in my experiences. The encouragement is deeply appreciated. As you can see I have a lot of things to tell!! I will keep it up as long as there is something to write about.
Good night!http://wrcbehindthestages.blogspot.com

I have pointed out that there are some guys who could build anything they want for themselves, even former works drivers like some guy who borrowed your first name Toni, Toni whatshisname?? But he built an awfully nice BMW and as some of the boys here pointed out he was faster in the rwd car than in the works WRC Suzuki!
Hej weist du was? want to come visit North West of USA sometime and do a small rally in our equivalent of F-cup?
You could make a holiday, see some sights---beautiful nature here and in Canada just up the road---and do a fun event, and it would be a great kick im dem arsch for Amis to see just how fast a guy who knows what fast is can go in a basically good car!
We have a small series called Max Attack, in honor of the great Marku Alen's famous phrase and it has a decent prize fund, and is generally aimed at normal humans who build and rally without massive budget..
Come on over to rallyanarchy and say hi!John Vanlandingham

Hi Antony, its interesting to read your blog, there is a lot to be learned from it, but in your last post on it I was surprised to see how you disregard the driving advice from engineers. I accept your point regarding the brakes but maybe you should have respected their views on how to drive the car more? Their feedback is based on overlays and watching what others have done in the same place. I would rate their feedback highly myself, perhaps more so than from a driver as driving can be such an instinctive thing that some top guys struggle to really explain what they do and why.
