Thanks :) . I'm really tired now. It has been many hours of driving for seeing ten stages (half of them out of spectator zones). This year's itinerary was very hard for spectators for driving between stages.Quote:

Ostberg is a proper Ford driver, he keeps the well-known style :( .
On the other hand, our freak moment of the rally was to drive through the Mú stage to see where JML started his second life in 2009. Michael Kogler also crashed there this year (though he didn't rolled down the side of the mountain). It had to be a scary moment, many pieces of the car were there. It's one of the most dangerous places I've ever seen on rallying.
To end for today, I'd say I've been missing the Rally of Portugal in the North for twelve years. Now, I believe I'll miss it in the South for the rest of my life.
