The first evo is named as "Lancer Evoultion", the evolution of the standart Lancer.
That is different.
There is the first incarnation of Fabia S2000, which is called "fabia s2000". If there is an evolved version of the first incarnation you call it Fabia S2000 Evoultion. If there is an evolved version of the evolved version you call it Evolution 2,.....

That is the best way of taking yourself out of business. The things you sell need to be same spec as the factory, or very close !

You are defending the undefendable. Alen will not ever be a winner and you still find every excuse to make him appear a better driver than he is.
And no, that didn't mean what you want to mean (because you only wanted to flame with me). Everybody understood the sense of that phrase, except you (on purpose).

Don t think that Allen is something special in terms of speed.
All we have see from him in norf or russia is when the rally lacked of competitors.When there are other s2000 in the rally no speed at all from him.
Something they have do plenty of times at 2009 Rox and Basso with same car-team.About the not so much testing,ok maybe there is something like that,but the differences with other fiats were big,and i can t believe that this is the reason for his slow times.
Lets see in 2010 who is right.
In the group of young flying finns i would easily put Hanninen,Ketooma,Nikkara way forward than him.

Could you stop the guessing and consentrate on what i wrote instead, if you want to reply.
I have never ever said he will be a winner, I dont defend him in any way either, Alen's self made the mistake to sign with fiat, what i said is that he should get rid of his contract, that takes him nowhere, no testing and no driving is not good if want to be a rally driver, is that so difficult to understand?

I rather think it was IRC with Fiat, or drive round and round Finland.
A driver will get more testing.. if their setup improves the stop watch.
Even if he does get another chance, he seems to be a one trick pony... fast gravel.

Money.. or the nessesity of it.. to do anything other than drive a Fiat.

I suppose you are going to try and convince us that he turned down a "WRC manufacturer 'JML' works-type seat" with MSport?

Ketomaa is already 30 years, not so young.
