somebody have to. you totally missed the context. Not much possitive from you lately? If you wanted, you could be such a asset to this forum. But what do you choose to do?

Is it just me or do the Nowegians have something stuck up their butts?

Yes, we all have an Ice Spike there !! :s mokin:

But think how easily you may place it with all that oil you guys have :)

least competitive years and if you look at big picture you can see that since 2005, and except for the couple Gronholm years, the drop of competitivity is in perfect sync with the increase of paying drivers arriving in the Ford cars.

The days of M-Sport with Delecour, Martin, Duval, McRae and Sainz all driving the Focus with soul like the real racers that they are, and being paid to take risks like a real racer should be are over. Now you put a kid with a suitcase of dollars in the bucket seat, let him "learn" and pay for 5 years and wait.....maybe he might be champion.....or not! :D

Ford's faith is in Latvala hands. And if they keep this second driver crap and keep Hirvonen as number 1 then it's over for them.

Before homologations it should be 24/7, right?

Fiesta WRC is being tested as we speak in Wales, I think. Jarmo Lehtinen wrote in Finnish AutoBild that they're considering an extra week on gravel in December as well + it's being tested in Sweden before Christmas.
