No. He's not driving anything. He's going into farming and is going to farm goats for milk. These are just rumours and nothing more........ why do people keep paying attention to these rumours?Quote:

Although a C4 for one event then a switch to a Focus does seem unlikely...
Daniel, why do you keep on looking down on us who actually likes romours and speculating about thnings with absolutly no relevance. You are a smart man, i get that. Maybe you see those of us who likes this speculating as less intellegent or less of anything else wich i don't know and maybe that even is the case. But then please leave us alone. We wan't to do this. 'Quote:

Daniel, i respect you but sometimes it seems that you have no respect for toher people and what they like to do. This makes me sad.
Which is all good and fine until you read the last god knows how many pages. You know I want to find out what's happening with Petter, I really do. But people don't wait until an official announcement, they speculate endlessly with no evidence and in some cases no thought and fill up the thread with this sort of stuff.Quote:

Oh that's good news
Go Petter!
Where are the times for shakedown :angryfire
Congrats Petter
and so on
Now it's just endless talk with no substance. Just wait..... the news will come out via reliable sources and we will know. Me personally I think the best deal for Petter would be a drive with Citroen either M2 or M1. He doesn't want to be part of Malcolm's games at this point in his career and he doesn't want a car that's not going to perform. Malcolm has it stuck in his mind that his two Finns are the future, I think Citroen is far more open in the way they think and I think they'd be more willing to do a 3 car team and give Petter the chance at success that he needs. But you don't see me putting that on my site and pretending that this is what's going to happen because to be blunt none of us know what's going to happen.

I don't get the problem? Skip this thread if you like. Read the rest of the threads!? Read WRC.com for Petter announcement. Problem solved! The most disturbing thing in this thread right now is your yelling about what should be written and what should not. THAT is annoying.
Now I'm finished. Cheers! :)
hey, you forgot the linkQuote:

You can throw your sh*t on me, that's no problem, but if you wanna get rid of speculations, rumours and links, then I think most people here go somewhere else. Seriously.Quote:

Ikke noe nytt fra Petter
Petter Solberg har fortsatt ingen løsning på plass for videre VM-satsing.
-Det er ikke noe nytt. Det er mange baller i lufta. Jeg jobber på flere fronter. Med sponsorer, med å skaffe bil og med å få på plass et team. Det går nesten døgnet rundt, men det er ikke lett, sier Petter til motorsport.no på søndag. Da tok han en pust på kafe i Monte Carlo etter en hektisk uke.
-Jeg kom hjem i går etter noen dager i England der jeg blant annet var på Autosport International Show, og gjorde unna enkelte møter. I morgen er det full fart igjen for å få noe på plass, sier Petter.
Selv om han selv ikke vil røpe noe, er det en rekke rykter som svirrer. Under Sigdalsrally var blant annet det heteste at han var klar for Citroën, og at han til og med skulle nomineres ved siden av Sebastien Loeb i stedet for Dani Sordo under Rally Norway.
-Jeg vil ikke kommentere noe. Jeg jobber på, så får vi se hva som skjer. Jeg har anmeldt meg og til og med betalt startkontingent til Rally Noway, men i hvilken bil og om det i det hele tatt blir noen start vet jeg ikke. Jeg kan i hvert fall love alle mine tilhengere at jeg gjør alt som står i min makt for å komme til start i en konkurransedyktig bil, sier Petter Solberg til motorsport.no.
Why not in a Peugeot then, Tom???Quote:

So we just have to wait and smile ! :-)
This article says that Petter is trying to get the worst gear, but if he can't he'll settle for a plan B with a little older stuff to show off for the fans in Norway: http://www.nrksport.no/motorsport/rally-vm/1.6429097
I can't believe nothing is done yet with therefore choice of Focus or C4 that would have been available(according all rumours read until now of course) :eek: :s
Well, Gardemeister drove at NORF with BMW just for sake of driving the rally.Quote:

Nothing official today for sure! I think we have too wate a few day's or so...
I wonder if Urmo Aava's future is directly dependant on what will happen to Petter Solberg? Right after the announcement of "eight rallies in Stobart for '08" there were hints in Estonian media that actually no contract has been signed yet and some kind of an uncertainty is still existing at the moment. Maybe Malcolm is still trying to negotiate with Petter, so this makes the situation of others uncertain too?
It's always good to ask from smarter people. :) Just kidding :)Quote:
