Actually dont know if many of you knew it but the term "luck of the irish" was a term that meant bad luck think it originated in america if something bad or unlucky happened it was referred to as thats luck of the irish.Quote:

They must have a ball, hopefully they can make it to the end!
Evans is the only non-Nordic/Baltic driver in the whole top 10 of RC2 class! Also nice to see 3 Swedes in top 5.

1. Luck of the IrishQuote:

"During the gold and silver rush years in the second half of the 19th century, a number of the most famous and successful miners were of Irish and Irish American birth. . . .Over time this association of the Irish with mining fortunes led to the expression 'luck of the Irish.' Of course, it carried with it a certain tone of derision, as if to say, only by sheer luck, as opposed to brains, could these fools succeed."

Even Ogier admits he was lucky ;)
"Great 1st day! Conditions were incredibly good this AM & very difficult this PM. Happy to be here, was lucky in that tricky corner in SS4"

I have to agree with him om the "very good first day" bit. Seriously improving his pace in his 2nd rally with a 4WD and his first ever snow rally. Started the day 2,5-3s/km off the pace, finishing is at about 1,5s/km with a best result of 0.47s/km. Not bad at all I would say.Quote:
