It is exactly this kind of nonsense that the new moderator ought be clamping down on.
Martin Holmes or whatever his job or his name is, is the classic example of someone who is actively involved with something for so long and still hasn't learnt anything about it....
i will not bother with him...i would rather watch paint dry.
With that statement, however many (or few) ounces of credibility you are clinging to have just flown out the window.
This is an assertion NOT without explanation
Quite the opposite, my dear friend! But you will learn that eventually ... it just takes timeQuote:

1. In the sense i see things with no bias at allQuote:

Yep, ITC.
Nice to see him back with up to date car.. compared to the 100 years old Corolla WRC ;-)
He drove already after that with a Fabia WRC and S12 WRC. Very good pilot with the Toy WRC!
Yes I know, but he drove again with Corolla WRC in 2011 I think?Quote:

I read other articles but I thought it was mistake in google translator. It say BMW will pursue the mini rally car with a germany company but i though google was just putting the germany company phrase in becuase of a BMW story.
My understanding in the last few month is that BMW have little interest in rally car any more and also they have new factory touring car. Am I now correct in to think that BMW want to dump prodrive, who like them or not have made a very good car and go with some other preperation experts?

Thank you (sluuuuurrrrp) (Still having a beer since we're like in a Pub.)
In Portuguese (original text) is clear that BMW wants a german company with the WRC project.Quote:

The forum is free and if N.O.T. is allowed to participate by the site/moderators then it's not your job to judge who should participate in the debate.
Please add me to your ignore list if this is a problem for you!
Quite so.Quote:

If what Andre Oliveira says that the correct translation means BMW want a german company for the rally car then who could it be? I am not familiar enough with German rallying to know.
I would think that podiums last year, hit a bridge and still finish 2nd in Monte Carlo this year all points to positive outcome? If the car finished in say 11th place or something with just poor pace then I would also so yes, time for a new company to build the car but this isnt the case.
This is really confusing,In the first place didnt BMW give Prodrive the authority to start the MINI WRC project???
I do not think that ask respect for a person is a stupid thing, or not?
Keep your shirt on Mike. I did NOT tell you who you could or could NOT communicate with.Quote:

It was a REQUEST, which you can do, or NOT as you please.
It is NOT telling you anything..
It's simply many are just tired of reading the same tired insults of virtually every driver in the WRC as "sick dogs" and 'village drivers' again and again and again.
I will ask something else: maybe you could NOT look to be offended so easily and definitely NOT mis-read what people write here.
In short, relax a little.
OK?
Neeej, men tack!Quote:
