No, I'm not stupid enough to do that. All I have done is reconsider my opinion of you. After all, the only difference between you and me is that I gave you the benefit of the doubt. You, on the other hand, assumed that I knew nothing and then you assumed that whatever knowledge I had was faulty or insufficient. The least you can do is give me credit for attempting to educate myself on the subject.

The funny thing about tone is that it's a spoken component of language. And since this is an internet forum and everything is typed, inflection is impossible. So I am curious as to how you came to the conclusion that I was being contemptuous based on a single post where I pointed out that your argument may be flawed when you are relying on forty year-old information. You were the who then (repeatedly) called me a child, claimed that whatever knowledge I had of the subject was useless, and suggested that any attempt to educate myself would be futile unless I accepted your word as gospel.

I see the Festive season is upon us again, given the amount of `Festive Cheer` in the last batch of posts. Come on people , it`s only `Rallying` lets wish each other a `Happy Christmas`! Go Kris and Elfyn 2014.

I believe it is better that objections are raised now rather than mid season. By having the objection resolved before the 2014 season starts, everyone can then get on with rallying on an agreed criteria. To me it seems objecting pre season is a more professional action than waiting to raise objections once Kubica begins scoring championship points

Wow this thread as fallen apart. Get on with it guys. There are a few of us that want to discuss rallying. Not read a pathetic argument. Maybe call one and other over by pm. Or maybe wonder why this place is getting quieter.

Thank you Steve, I expect you are representative of the 'silent majority'. While I have no wish to stifle public debate on issues of general interest, I agree that any further acrimony between parties re. Asian manufacturer capabilities etc is confined to PMs - further posts on the matter will be deleted unless impersonal and adding to the debate.

So back to original quote starting the "Asian-car-manufacturers-successes in recent-times-or-not", that next year will be exciting with Hyundai coming up as new factoryteam and all the changes in drivers seats... :)

VW is protesting against the modification for Kubica??

If that is true-let them be ashamed....

Interesting how I was bashed/mocked last week when I suggested this may happen with regard to the Kubica situation.

Despite the protest that VW Motorsport made against the changes made for Kubica, it seems that FIA decided that therer is nothing wrong with these changes and it doesn't give him some advantage. The changed Fiesta WRC will be homologated as planned.
