I am after a few of our beloved 80's rally legends and wondered if anyone can steer me in the right direction to get in touch with the following people to ask if they would sign me up a photo. Walter Röhrl, Markku Alén, Timo Salonen, Björn Waldegård are the drivers who I have model kitsets for and would love to be able to display the photos with the completed kitsets.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

@JanVanvurpa: Did you visit the Oregon Trail Rally last weekend? Looked as it was a great event listening to Colin Clark who was present among others?
Aaron mate, you will get more help if you post that on Rally Models Thread ;)Quote:

I have been listening to the Capito Podcast on proposed final stage top 10 shoot out for WRC. I need a stiff drink, make it a double. While you are pouring line a couple more up. This might get rather messy.
Nej, fan. I was in the machine shop making suspension--driving a lathe and a mill..as usual.. duty calls, I have to pay the mortgage, and people are depending on me for parts...Quote:

Also the event organsiers are convinced that there's something worthwhile in running cars around a local roadrace track....so all Friday is devoted to waht is in reality playing and it's really pitiful to watch---then when all that was done everybody had to transit 120 km out East just to turn in the time cards and sit in an empty parking lot on the edge of a village of maybe 400 people for 20 minutes..then go home miles away to nearest motel. Va fan är det me det?
Then Saturday the bulk of the SS miles was on some insanely fast nearly straight stages with instructions like
"1200 6 R, 950 6 L, 1000, 5L, 1300 6 R...." and average speeds of over 130 km/hr....because of straightness, not heroic driving...
Sunday however was fun according to all..There were climbs up and dopwn and lots of "40 2 L, 30, 3 R, 35 2 L" type driving..You know where you actually have to turn the steering wheel ---everybody said "Wish there was more SS like that more often"
I MAY be co-driving for a friend in a moth or so in his newly build Audi which I made the suspension for and helped with advice on the motor build..We hsall see--there's more annoying medical things lurking. Det är ett helvete att bli gammalt.
So you mean you´ll have to do a medical search before going co-driving? Or is it worse? Nice to hear some comments on the rally in Oregon even if you weren´t there.
A really do like your mixed english/swedish/norska/finska replies. You must be a language genius.
Having a crutch on picture, what have Bosse done to his leg?
I guess politics should be confined to Bar Talk. Get yourself a pint, have a read of this blog about Politics within WRC teams. Who will have something to say on this matter ?

Good reading and exciting prediction of what can happen in 2015
I think that only Yves Matton can answer to this question.Quote:

He is the smartest ladyboy on this forum.
1. N.O.T. is the biggest expert in this forum, he can estimate the difference between the cars by just looking testing videos, he is able to tell their loss or win per one stage km in 0.00001 s exactness. :-PQuote:

3. He is also among a few forumers who can say things how they actually are by using some colourful expressions. and I must say that this third point is the most truthfull among the three;-)
you got your answers i presume... you can refer to me as God if you like... i will allow it.Quote:

It is usually miserable failures that end up blaming the teams they rented cars from...
Many drivers in the past did not have the proper equipment but by spending more money they advanced their careers like latvala and Hirvonen.
To end this silly talk about that Kubica guy, first of all he is a bit too ugly to become a champion in a sport like WRC, ERC is ok, ugly men can succeed there.
Second in the situation he is in he cannot do much... he has a budget and when you do not have skills its only the money that can boost your career, so if he is getting this AA team car it is because the money were not enough for a Citroen or an Msport, why you want to complicate things ?? you do not possess the brains to solve complicated problems so keep it simple...
life it self is a competition... you compete every day in your life about everything.Quote:

It is not necessary to be 1 second faster than someone with the same hobby like you to say you are in a competition...

i think it is far more entairtaining than the stupid babbling the kubica kids make about which kind of car is going to turn into scrap the coming season... but yes.. you should make the pub talk a sticky and maybe if the moderators were not useless they could move things around.Quote:

Well just to finalize this arguing - Loeb has achieved a lot. For me though, he is not the most professional Rally driver. He has driven Citroen only, and that is far for call him professional.Quote:

nice to see that there is life in the moderators...
steff you finalised this argument by ignoring the facts in your head long long time ago...
Ι like NOT because of his clever expressions and phrases he uses. sometimes i dont like the way he speaks but he never says bullshits(sometimes he says).the problem is that he is very rigid to his opinions so its a little bit difficult to discuss with him,otherwise i think he is nice person(i just suppose until i meet him and change my mind).
Truth is rigid.... lies are fragile...Quote:

About Loeb has been lot written in this forum, I don't want to go back, just express an objective opinion. Rally is full of history and characters, there is not universal rule to call someone greatest, and continuously ignore and insult all other Rally drivers, without some part of them Loeb would be nothing, just for one. He has lifetime contract with Citroen, ok fine by me, just not enough to call him the greatest of all times (despite the numbers in his "achievements").
BTW admiration for setting high standards, there is lot more to be achieved anyway. Good night.
Unfortunately i am greek although i do not want to or feel like one... but yes your name is of that origin. your nickname is stefanvv... i do not see a capital N on it... so...
The only way someone would change a team would be for Money or because someone has a better package to offer...
nobody changed teams/jobs/wives/countries just to prove himself... so your way of looking into things about him is wrong... so you are wrong... and you should be sad about it.
I recently joined the forum and I like it a lot, we all have the same passion and the need to express it, one does it different than the other; it's character, Intelligence , home language and education you see...So there are endless talks about Kubica, Solberg and Loeb. And Ogier. Some like it some hate it. It is as it is, a forum.
Waiter, can I order a drink please?
you can have as many drinks as will turn you into a bar brawler because that "we all share the same passion, lets join hands and sing songs of peace and dance and make babies" is not alpha male wolf stuff and not fit for the sport.Quote:
