Let's hope Paddon wins, he'd deserve it for all the work he's been putting in for a long time now. As far as Latvala goes... nothing new, he'll always be the same. Problem is that as long as Ogier (and some others) is here, he's not consistently fast or consistent enough at all.
so 29,8 sec for 55,28 kms.What do you think guys?
Behave!!!Quote:

Check a bit of the recent history of your own country. Once you had a great auto industry check what happened to that and why.Quote:

Latvala did it again. Well my pickems prove, that I predicted something like this...
By driving it cannot be done, but when you have Ogier behind you all it takes is a spin and that 30 seconds become 10 in one stage. I think if the difference is above 20 seconds after the first stage Paddon will do it.Quote:

Latvalas attempt to turn a Polo WRC into an old design Opel corsa.
No idea what You talk about. Anyway he seems to be the most famous from there, as far as I know.Quote:

im not commenting Latvala either...Paddon will win it for sure, he deserves it so much, i didnt expect him to be so fast at this rally
However comments if you weren´t there is worthless. No one but the guys in the car knows what happened and what caused the off. Until then no comments needed.
maybe the car decided it cannot live like this anymore and took a stand.Quote:

Go Paddon! All of little old NZ is behind you!
Latvala's comment by rally-base.com: "The plan tomorrow? To go home. I have fought hard all weekend. Sometimes it's hard for people to see that. It's been too long with this disadvantage."
He is right about the fighting, but is he saying he wants to quit?
He seems that the real fight is with himself all these painful years...Quote:

I hope Paddon wins, he sure deserves it. However I think Ogier will give him a run for his money, he hasn't won this rally before and you could hear in his words that troubles him a little bit, and he knows there is no proper contender to fight with him for the title so he may aswell go for ir.
Ogier said that, not Latvala !Quote:
