Marcus Grönholm

[Corny]

IMO there is too much talking about the championship, don't we all see this will probably be the last rally of one of rallying's greatest names?
Thankyou Marcus, and good luck in your further life (aii, going to miss that stage comments )

We are all going to miss him cant get enough of those comments "at least is a convertible" or "it went into Timos ass!"

Cool bloke. I remember at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2000 (think it was, the first year he won the title and was reletively unknown). I'd arrived really early to beat the rush and at the rally car bit no-one was about, except Marcus and two people who were with him. Not realising the potential he had and not knowing what to say I didn't go up to him. It's not event I regret because I had no idea of what I could say (and still can't think of anything) but it would have been nice to have had a conversation with the big man.

He will be missed in the WRC and lets hope we get more characters soon. I don't think I could face a future of Sordos and Pons', it's Solbergs, McRaes, Auriols and Gronholms that put life into rallying.

It will be sad, he's the last of the old guard.

Hope you´will have to change your signature corny! it ain´t over...but bearing in mind Loebs odd abilities i guess you are right.
Nice pic Timo!
We will miss him very much of course, but it was a nice surprise that he will do a few rallies next seson. hope it just wasn´t air. Wonder which they might be?

There's always a "last of the old guard" if you are around long enough.

I consider Marcus the first of the new brigade, and like you I will miss him.

I consider him as the last driver of the 'McRae generation', as I like to call it

[Brother John]

It seems here, however, a burial or farewell of Grönholm and he is still around.
It must be party and celebration because he goes on retire.
Of cource we will mis him on the rallies but there will be doors open for others.

What I meant was, as he only got a proper works drive in 1999 with Peugeot, he'd been around a long time before that driving Toyotas. I class him with the McRae, Makinen, Sainz, Auriol, Kankkunen, etc generation.
