My suggestion is that sweden should invade Norway and then surrender, and the rich Norway will have to take care of the swedes with their oil money. Not bad, isn´t it? :p :
Ooooops, off topics.

so the only thing you are right about is that you are filthy rich and happy...
Don't be sorry, this is the moment you should think about rubbing the wound with salt... it is fun.
I agree with 100% of that, but just out of curiosity do you think drivers who compete in the ladycup are by default, rubbish? As in do you not rate Mikkelsen, Meeke, Neuville etc?Quote:

This is evident by the results all these ladycup winners have in the WRC...when they try to mix it up with the big boys they fail and crash because they understand they need to try way harder to be able to be up there...
Neuville, mikkelsen, meeke ects ects must try harder to make it in the WRC... they are very good drivers but not WRC material straight away....
How Ogier treated mikkelsen in his back yard with his own weapons was a fine example.... reminded me the conclusion of the Old yeller movie...
you cant compare private cars with factory cars. as long as ostberg doesnt get a factory-seat we will never know how fast he really is. this is the same for al the young drivers in the wrc, since there are only 4 real factory cars.Quote:

I think this is why Kris found it so hard in the WRC; he had not spent enough time competing to know how to drive through a rally at a consistent pace ie. he was fast in France last year but only in the GB event did he lear (a bit too late) how to pace himself. And that I believe is an issue for Jari K as well.Quote:
