Mikko deserved to win and anyone with any sense will realise that although the trophy has Seb's name on it this was Mikko's rally.

As Nelson Muntz says though..... HAW HAW! :p

I hate you.

I think some people may missed out the performance of Henning on this rally where he won 7 stages. Atleast Petter gets to be 4th from all the mayhem.

Talks about luck, when Loeb took that super big cut through all the rocks nothing bad happened from it. I don't know if it's his talent or the Citroen suspension is built so strong or both.

Don't forget he had nothing to lose in superrally ;)

Wow, if Hollywood made it you'd say it was too far fetched! Really thought Mikko deserved this one.

Interesting to note that despite so much practice our resident xenophobic Ford 'fan' is still a very bad loser :-)

Yes maybe he should drives like that for Japan and GB since his results this year hasen't been good anyway, not much to lose.

Cut the bs. Brilliant. Just brilliant. Perhaps I should chuck a hissy fit whenever Ford wins a rally through hard work and skill and refuse to watch the coverage :)

what would ever make you think this?

Passion is a good thing, within reason, sometimes a certain unnamed mamber comes across as a bigot.
You seem to me to be very passionate about the French side of WRC, yet I have yet to read a daft post from you when Loeb, Citroen etc have failed, its a shame some other 'fans' could not be a little calmer. Its how a man reacts in defeat that shows his true quality.

I read that as Paasonen is a good thing, within reason, :mark:

People on this forum fly off the handle when the slightest thing goes wrong. Back in his Ford days McRae had a slump and everyone was saying he was past it, then he took a few victories in close succession and it was all forgotten. Now when Citroen or Ford have one bad rally it's like the sky is falling down on our heads :mark: I remember when a Peugeot would be missing a split Tom would be on here going crazy when we didn't even know what had happened yet..... :mark: Like you say, passion is a good thing within reason.
