He is probably the driver who has had the least chances who deserves one.

I maintain that if he had the luck/backing Hirvonen has had over the years he would have done a better job.

Did he ever had bad luck that cost him the title? From what I remember in the last 5-6 years in most rallies he was just driving to finish as high as he could without risking much and fight for victory. He rarely tried to challenge Seb.
And for backing he had enough from MW, he hold onto him for a lot of seasons as No1.

@Makinen_fan: read again...

tha Tom, forgive my latest point, RS comments I thought targeted Mikko. read it too quickly

PS i cant the edit button to delete the post. help!

I think Alsace-Lorraine still qualifies in most historical descriptions as Northern Europe. Given that Genghis Khan's empire included albeit briefly Austria, then yes Asia for Aigner seems good to me! ;)

All of England, actually! They had the good sense to build a wall to keep the Scots out.
"But what have the Romans ever done for us?" (Or Mikko, just to wrench this back on thread)

Well now, that was different!!!

Hehe, according to common jokes about Prague people and their understanding of surrounding world You are really partly in Asia (together with all Moravia, Slovakia, Hungary) :D I personally got used to these jokes and when I leave Prague to a place of my origin (some 150 km to the East) I say I'm going to the Near East while when I go to Barum rally for example I say I'm going to the Far East :D
