Petter on OMP-equipment? :)

http://www.vgb.no/30397/perma/402887

Here tries Petter and Phil OMP-equipment.

Seeing also that Bernt Kollevold has sent the picture. Norwegian OMP-dealer.

Since the team of Petter is called "Petter Solberg MSN Rally Edition"

Could we then see a BIG smiley on he`s car for rally-norway?!!? :) :D

I don't believe we'll see Petter in an Xsara on a WRC round.

I'm sure he would do minimum as good in a whale, and a team like Bozian would cheer him to have a program in WRC09... :rolleyes:

Everyone gets that these are just rumours except for you know who :laugh:

Thats right. He denies buying anything in a interview in a newspaper today.

There is a statement about this on his official website too published just a while ago.

Petter S."

And his brother actually doesn`t know what is true or not...Spoke to Henning today and he is not quite sure wether Petter actually is willing to forget his ultimate winning ambitions and just "drive for the fans" in Rally Norway. Because as he says, the Xsara is not by any chance a winning car in the rally, he could just as well drive a Skoda Fabia and compete for 4-5th place.

Knowing Petter and his winning instinct quite well it really surprises me if he is running a Xsara in Norway!

I totally agree. I think that instead of Xsara he's going to buy another Xsara. I know, that Petter himself denied buying any car, but it simply can not be true, because many people (not only) of this forum know it better :D

Let see where the truth lies when Petter and Partnes are giving a Big Bang Press Conference. He is probably trying to keep some surprises for that, and that is why he is being so secrative !

He is trying to hold on to the directors chair, but in the internet world, that is hard !! ;)

Once up on a time there was a little boy in one very small village. He was sent to the fields to take care of the sheeps when the boy became 9 years hold. Once the boy ran to the Village and screamed "WOLF.. WOLF.. WOLF! All the village people ran to the field with different kind of weapons but there was no wolf. The boy was joking:-) Exactly the same thing happened next day again.. He was joking again.. but on the third day there was really wolf. but nobody believed him anymore. And the wolf ate the sheeps and the boy..
The point is that when there will be news about Solberg then nobody believes it anymore ;-)

Only when news about Petter comes from him or from reliable source

I think that crying 'WHALE! WHALE! WHALE!' would be more appropriate in this case. ;)

I don't know why you continue to post such silly rumours. We all know that jens was correct in his earlier post.

I definitely know the truth. And Lundefaret who writed on norsk-rally.com is in team with OMP-team in Norway with Bernt Kollevold, Martin Stenshorne and Lundefaret http://www.norsk-rally.com/index.php...bytter-til-omp

Why would he get a 3+ year old car? Might just as well buy a S14 then which he at least is used to.

If it was just a short term thing for rally Norway though, perhaps...

But otherwise i would be rather suprised if he did not get an at least 2008 spec Focus or C4.

So when is the press conference, as we all know the truth in here?

The key question in this case, I think, is whether Citroën or Ford has any motivation whatsoever in supplying Petter Solberg with a really competitive car. Why should they, if they suspect that Petter actually is capable of beating their guys (and steal points in the championship from their own title candidates)?

Latest rumours says that Petter had a deal with Citroën for a Xsara, and Petter wanted latest 2006 spec. on the car (read: Loeb 06 New Zealand spec). What Citroën now wants to sell him is more or less a customer spec. Xsara - a car which Citroën knows is no threat to Loeb this year and furthermore Petter knows he will not be able to be competitive in.

In that case take drive RN in Grondahl's S10 or even a Skoda or Celica. Maybe even a Abarth S2000 car.
Ford & Citroen wont want to take the risk of a privateer beating their cars, remember Carlsson and Stohl's Xsara's?

Um,guys,I dont agree with you.....
I think it would be better for them to have a strong driver on their side.

Citroen had good use from Duval in Germany,Catalunya and Corsica.He couldnt beat Seb but he could beat the Fords

Same for Petter (do you really think Petter can beat Loeb...........no he cant)

I barely dare, but on this topic I can't stop myself from posting a link to a blog post on EXACTLY that subject. It's a Citroen habit, I'm afraid: http://www.maxattack.net/2009/01/pet...wrc-in-norway/

Lets not forget that in 2007 Stohl drove on some rally (Cyprus I think) one of the oldest Xsaras,2001 exuiped with some more modern parts (none close to 2006-5) used by Puras
