    Aww man... Jim

    Here I thought you were putting together a local WRC Post Office Rally.....
    You know, MINI against those little white boxy post office delivery trucklets. That would have been so much fun. Get a little air under those staid federal workers:D

    Great start for the practice season. You know the other teams realize that MINI is in it for real. :Thumbsup:

    You said a mouth full Jim!

    Outstanding results for the first race! Considering this is just a testing race and season for them, the competition has to be wondering about next season when MINI and Prodrive will be in it to WIN!!!

    I tend to go directly to the main one as the local branch while a little closer is always quite busy.

    Meeke was a non-starter on day three to allow his team to further investigate the throttle problem that caused the Briton to go off the road on the opening day when he was running in fourth place.
