I think his statement is very understandable, he is in a very delicated balance between a good performance to do not dissapoint his sponsors (and three podiums really are) and to take more risks with his car. It is a pity since I strongly believe he still has the magic touch able to beat Sebastian and also better than Mikko and the other top flight guys.Quote:

It is quite amusing reading some of the comments earlier on this thread given Petter's recent run of excellent performances ;)
Really nice to see a genuine privateer doing the business.
With BIG expenses..

In norway it would be clever maybe to invest the limited sponsor money on new talent ..."
janvanvurpa: "Petter is just too old."
N.O.T: "these changes peter does to his cars at least keeps the "new car" favourite excuse he uses all the time...how many rallies now he needs in the focus ?? 1-3-5-10-12 ?." <-- No, he needed just one, Rally Sweden, since then he has been on the podium in every rally.
N.O.T: "Cool he can join the HAS BEEN club now....it has a lot of memebrs you know"
N.O.T: "Mr Solberg should stop living in his own universe and realise that if he was good enough he would be chosen by a manufacturer....now that he is a HAS BEEN with no future or present in the sport he has to realise that he cannot get the same equipment for free..."
Tomi: "Feels a bit like a déjà vu, Petter comes out with big noise about his car and his chances, his fans gets carried away big time, it will be interesting to see, if it again this year will end up with mega crying, how unfair the world is."
Brother John: "It is about time that he will stop driving rallys.
He can be team leader from his team and give his car seat to a young driver and make money in the future!"
Guess there is just one thing to say, and this quote comes from one of the greatest WRC-drivers: "Up yours!"
yes yes yes i guess i underestimated him by longshot to be honest but again he still cannot win rallies by driving as most recent results show...and we have yet to see his position when both citroen and ford official drivers finish a rally without problems....but as i said he cleary did far better than i presumed so respect to him.
The first quote is still valid, about the second one, lets wait and see a few rallies.Quote:

(may he rot in hell for killing his son, the other kid and his neighbor showing off and hotdogging)
I will presume your selective quoting was from laziness and sloth and poor reading ability rather than a serious attempt to make a point misunderstanding what was obviously implied.
The small off Petter had on sunday could just as well have been Loebs small off and then Petter would be on top. Setting the times and results he does with the amount of cash behind him is incredible and as far as I am concerned a much bigger achievement than Loebs first places.Quote:

I would say that you are a sad individual for saying that about Colin, his family and friends but you just want to provoke people. Shameful comment.Quote:
