Not sure if this goes here on not... (Or if this is a really stupid question... :) )

Someone once said... "[???] is really good. But he is fat, and he smokes and drinks alot. If [???] actually got fit he'd be far better than any of us!" - or something along those lines... Any idea who said it about whom?
I think this is from Group B time.

Sorry if stupid question.
Thank you

I remember something alike:
"he not only smokes and drinks, he is fat and worn glasses and still he is one of the fastests".
For sure it was about Timo Salonen and I think it was opinion of Ari Vatanen.

I don't know is it right or not but I have
9th Robert Mucha/Tomasz Pulczynski -PL- Polski Fiat 125p
and Husar (do you know his first name?) was 10th.
Anybody can point the right version?

It's his son Danny. The other son Pierre became Clerk of the Course later.

Thank you Fred for precious explanation.
Are you able to clear up this: "if a cetrain Windsor (10th overall in Criterium Lucien Bianchi'77) is a member of British Royal Family? I remeber that somebody of that family did RAC rallies... but I don't remember his name (it was Prince of something)"
Now I now that "certain Windsor's name was Paul, but question is still alive.

I'm sure he's not a royal! Prince Michael of Kent did some rallies with Ford including the London - Mexico.
