    Yeah that's an important word "enough"..."WE" as a culture have---since Inter-net forums came around---tend to talk more and more extreme..."That guy is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo amazingly FAST!"

    "And that guy so so slooooooooooooooooooow, herregud!"

    "That babe is so HOT!!!!!!" and "OMG! arf! arf! wot a DOG!"

    No subtlety...I mock it often in the way I spell and stretch out and make fonts bigger...I do it because its hard to take seriously when somebody says somebody 0,1 or 0,2 s/km off the best man in the world is SLOW.

    (Kinda funny, many years ago I had conversation with the most beautiful girl---from Ekerö--outside Stockholm---and she said she had talked to a Professor who said the reason the English speaking peoples were nuts is because there did not exsist in English the equivalent for the (swedish) word 'nog'.. I said "Tell proff he's full of (hot air) (not really)...The workd "enough" and the word nog are the same thing..or at one time were the same thing...never got into her pants after that..the prof was her dad!!)

    Enough then this silly talk about slow Mads..
    I won't say Ben Klock is slow....just not fast enough---for the car he buys---to gain any respect.

    The fact people are talking about him proves the opposite.

    Your view is just the opinion of a nobody.

    No he cashed out maybe 12 years ago and as far as I know only has some nameplate, no day to day connection..

    On March 8, 2004, DC Shoes was acquired by Quiksilver in an US$87 million transaction.[4][5] In 2010, DC Shoes moved from Vista, California, to Quiksilver's headquarters in Huntington Beach.[6] The Huntington Beach location is closed down

    Quicksilver:

    Major Acquisitions
    Having globalized the company through acquisition of its licensees, Quiksilver became the first boardriding company to focus on acquiring major, likeminded brands, such as DC Shoes in 2003 and Rossignol in 2005, with a view to building a family of brands covering the outdoor sector.

    One of the pre-event favourites in Mexico, Neuville lost his chance of victory when he sustained a broken suspension arm on the first gravel stage of the event.
    He rejoined under Rally2 for Saturday but crashed again and had to be hospitalised for precautionary checks.
    Hyundai team manager Alain Penasse was perturbed by the second shunt.
    "The accident on the first day can happen when you are fighting for a win," Penasse told Autosport.
    "He made a mistake, that is clear. The second accident was not necessary.
    "We made it clear in the morning we wanted him to bring the car back to score a few manufacturer points, so we didn't understand why he drove at a speed which was too much."
    (...)
    "The plan is quite simple in Argentina: he will have the same fantastic road position that Meeke had there last year and if he can do what Kris did last year then we will be happy.
    "When you have this good road position, there's no point hanging around."

    Ok, Neuville is far to impress, but I don’t get why Penasse is always ready to publicly criticize his top driver…is he just trying to make people forget that the new car isn’t able to match the Polo?
