Well there should have been no reason for Malcolm to phone regarding the dust, after all as we saw with Mikko Hirvonen in Portugal, its just part of rallying right?

@ Anthony You write on youre brilliant blog that you stayed with Ford, despite the criminal treatment you got from them, because you don't have contacts with other teams, like Prodrive. Maybe it is a stupid question, but is there not a telephone number you can call, and tel them: Hi Prodrive, I have 2,5 million euro to spend on a rally car, and I want to do a full WRC season. What can you offer me? I am sure the receptioniste will get you in contact with the right person. Why do you need a special contact to hire a rally car and rally service? Does a healthy budget and some talent not stand alone for that?
R.I.P. all WRC heroes

All this came on top of another important phenomenom. I can see it now, looking at it from a distance, but whenever the end of the season approached, it seemed like the car performance was getting better... As if to help your finger sign that deal for the next year...

Did you have any manager or did you try to make your own contracts?
