    I'm reading this with utter jealousy and enviness because I've never been there and I would love to see a proper gravel rally (tarmac here in Benelux) but I see great opportunities here for proper blackmail : if Mr. mintexmemory loves the mirto and he wants another one, or a heavenly filu e ferru, he must say : " I hope ... doesn't win" or he will be very thirsty the rest of the evening...

    Haha good suggestion but I think I will chose the friendly approach. In Sardinia hospitality is a religion. And if you find a way to come there there will be for you as well

    I must say that the thought of sampling all these alcoholic beverages that are foreign to our tongue could make for an interesting time on the Island.

    Naturally we will be supporting Hayden & JK.

    Francophobia is a default position everywhere in the world except France.
    Actually everyone admire Ogier driving skills and personally I find his style very spectacular. So, I'm looking forward to see him live again.
    Said that, I have mirto for everyone, including french people

    Yes!, couple of days ago ik said to my girlfriend, lets visit rally Sardenga again. Now we have just booked our flights!

    Thursday evening until sunday morning, so short, but thanks to a good intenary, rally pakked 2 days.

    Service in Alghero is so much nicer than it was in Olbia, only hope they get a decent big screen this time. The video wall from last year was a very good idea, live opening special but really bad quality.

    Any tips of locals on cheapest rental cars?

    Really looking forward to this one! Hope Hyundai can give the engine some extra bhp before Sardenga, so Neuvi can go VW hunting!

    Speaking from experience, I would avoid the cheaper local car hire firms. Last year one of them attempted to extort nearly Ł2k from us by claiming we had damaged the vehicle. Luckily one of the guys had the presence of mind to photograph the car when we picked it up, so we caught them out.

    Not only the local ones. We had a car from Avis last year, lost the license plate and they charged 500 euro for it. Police found the plate and brought it back, but they 'forgot' to send us the 500 euro back. Took about half a year to get it back.

    Last year after Germany Avis tried to charge us over 200 euros for cleaning the car. All it had was some dirt and hays in the foot compartment. We had the car for 9 days so after that it can't be as cleas as after a few days rental and we could've cleaned that up in 30 seconds had we known it would cause weeks of distress and exchange of emails. Of course they sent the bill for us two weeks after the rental ended, not when we dropped back the car. In short = No Avis Ever Again.
