Park ferme at Quay Street in Auckland will be packed if he comes down. Never see anything like it. If Ken says he will do something he usually seems to get his way....Quote:

FIA next week: "What TV deal?"

They really do seem to be lacking in any kind of real direction. Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Poor Sweden having to cobble together something themselves having been dumped in it be the FIA, and now they say they'll have it sorted by the end of this week.
Pick a horse FIA!
For me it seems like another marketing trick to calm down the masses. Coupla weeks ago FIA has announced a deadline for applications for promoter.
Reminds me of Spitting Image when they made fun about the Grenada incident, except the following statements within five weeks of time Ronald Reagan gave weren't made up.Quote:

It's bad that Eurosport didn' take it.
This is FIA's new plan to attract Manus.Quote:

Peugeot already took the bite. :rolleyes:
EXCLUSIVE from RallyEmotion.it, Rally d'Italia will be held in Sardinia and not in Sicily: Rally Emotion - WRC / Č (quasi) ufficiale: il Rally d
Any news about Pede's programme? He said he might do some WRC rounds this year.
No news until the Promoter/TV issue will be ok. They want good exposure...Quote:

Old man people carrier, with a dog 'box on a rally stage....I have seen it all now :p :
A Honda Jazz is a people carrier made for old people, with about a 900cc engine or something....The least likely thing you would ever expect to see on a rally stage :pQuote:

That is the Jazz thats has been built for the Australia Championship with the 2 litre engine from the civic R3. Think they just had Guy there to help with the testing and development and if I'm not mistaken that is Glen Weston on the notes who is Eli Even's co driver. Don't think they have any plans to make a R1 or R2 versions but the class that it runs in the Australian Championship is G2 so that could cause a bit of confusion.
Yuck! How has Guy been reduced to this...Quote:

It does really look and sound like a proper rally car, so I don`t understand some of the comments here...Quote:

Suzuki Baleno Kit Car :)
Very ugly car, one of the few station wagon on rally
and Subaru in 1994
http://images.forum-auto.com/mesimag...ar%20Anwar.jpg
I dont think the old Suzuki wagon is much uglier than most of todays hatchback top rally cars. Neither wagons in general, there are some wonderful sport models like Audi RS4/6, Subary Legacy, old Mitsubishi Galant
Galant, Legacy.....Really? You have some style issues! They say beauty is in the eye of the beholded, so you must be Stevie Wonder!Quote:

and a friend of mine had a Legacy wagon in gold paint with 17" alloys sry I dont have a pic but its magnificent!
ONtopic: so this afternoon we are expecting: Rally Mexico entry list; Ken Block's old livery + his 2012 WRC programme; and some presentation from Armindo Araujo
What don't you understand? I just explained what the car was built for and why Guy was there, never said it wasn't a rally car.Quote:
