    Eh? What's wrong with being Makinen?
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    I'd say Tommi quitted rallying at the exact right point of his career. He was still at the top, sometimes he was beating Solberg, and he had 3 top 3 finishes in his last season. That is not bad. Wha´t happened was that it came new stars taking over his role, i whould actually love it if Marcus and Seb continued a couple of more years so se could see them beeing beated by some new stars like Latvala, Sordo, Hirvonen and guys like that. Just like Colin, Carlos and Tommi was back in 2003-2004.

    Do you know what i am saying?

    I basicly said and always think the same thing! You'd want to leave when your doing great rather then start to tumble down with many retirements and been seen struggling.... but it good timing for Makinen... maybe if he left a year earlier it would have been better but I think Marcus... well uncertain now about him retiring....

    nah, i do not like development. I want to be able to say that everything was better before, when Bosse (for example)was around. He would have beaten latvala and the bunch like nothing. But if Bosse hangs on then I can´t say that things were better before...
    Mäkinen was haunted by bad luck his last year with Subaru, he did fairly well I believe, but Solberg was on a high and made Mäkinen look worse than he actually was. mäkinen had so much mechanical problems it´s rediculous. Reminds me of some whale...
    I keep my fingers crossed for latvala as a future Bosse/Loeb.

    Marcus and Seb could turn sixty before the rest get close to them

    Hirvonen has beaten both, Sordo has beaten Grönholm and pushed Loeb realy hard sometimes. Latvala has led a rally on atleast one ocation in Finland.
