It takes a certain man to think of that.......

Knowing Morrie well I would say that the "insult to real men" comment is very, very much out of character if said seriously but not so if said in humour.
Given that these were 'private' emails, I suspect it was all a bit tongue in cheek on his part and that he's probably as taken aback by Thatti's remarks as we all are.

Only the boss of the NZ round of the WRC with a very extensive background for many many years in rallying.

Like Sollitt I know Morrie Chandler well, and I am sure that he is surprised with the result of one email comment made with a sense of humour. Personally I think Loeb has changed his image, and he now looks a bit unkempt. That is the current fashion so no big deal.

Good publicity for Rallying over such a minor thing.

For Tomi he was the Clerk of the Course for Rally New Zealand for many years. He was also a Rally competitor. I doubt anyone has better intentions for Rallying anywhere.

If he really did it with a sense of humour he should have at least made it clear to this guy that he was being a bit stupid. Thatti should have been told straight up that his criticisms were irrelevant. I've not really heard anything bad about Chandler so I think it's best to go with what Bowler and Solitt say and put it down to humour.

On the style side I think Loeb suits his look. I remember in 2005 when Marcus started to grow his hair long. Didn't suit him at all. He even had the balls to criticise my unshaven look at the shakedown. B****** :p I did shave the next day though. When a two time WRChampion says shave you shave :D

Somebody would maybe had bought that it was only "humour" if he would not have replyed also to Simon Long from ISC suggesting him not to shoot close pics of Loeb.

Which I think is the crux of the issue. If he did send the e-mail to ISC, then he's well out of order! What is wrong with these people?
