So you think that PSR doesn't pay Mr Solberg a salary for driving for them? Much you have to learn about self-employment and tax arrangements. The money Petter raises has to pay him and the team personnel - not just Citroen for the car. I'd be amazed if Petter hasn't got a nice offshore account still.

It would make sense if they did that, VW is almost guarranteed to be a good team, if Citroen can do it VW can.

Even you know that, when you don't just type for the purpose of annoying everyone.

His rejection of mini in favor of the DS3 was obviously done long before this season, on the reasonable assumption that it would be as competitive as the C4. The fact that this turned out not to materialize, until now, is a completely different topic.

i have better things to do than annoy people...

The thing is i am having a different opinion than some of you guys....whenever you are having a discussion (on whatever topic) with someone that doesn't share your views you think he does that because he likes to annoy you ??

Peter thought that the ds3 would be as competitive as the C4 he drove or the official C4 Loeb/sordo drove ???

If it is the first one then i think the difference is exactly the same, same car but less service equipment and spares. If he thought he would get exactly the same treatment as the official guys then he is just naive.

so if they do not pick him that maybe (just maybe lol) means he is not good enough anymore ??

Not at all, but it's the way you express yourself. Most of the rest of us have extremely civil discussions in the rallying forums.

please can you point me to any uncivilised response i gave ???

and i am being honest because i really have no intention to annoy anyone.

Most times you have different view, but some times you type just to annoy and tick people off. That's a fact.

Obviously Petter knows he has a costumer car, not a factory car, which means it's engine is not as strong. But the C4 was close enough for being comfortably quicker than than the factory Fords, and even to battle with factory C4s if pushed properly. These things have all been clearly stated by Petter too, but I'm not gonna dig up such references just because you have bad memory.
