    Have fun Chris. All in all it seems like you have made lemon-aide from the lemons you were dealt. Looking forward to your reports. Send pictures. :Thumbsup:

    Thanks guys, there's a big difference in Rally Mexico and Rally Argentina. I'm a bit pissed that there is a national class running in the rally which they didn't tell me about. I could have run that without a FIA certified cage. The Argentina guys told me I run as an invited guest. Mexico has about 28 entries, not exactly a full entry list. Anyway I hope to meet some new friends.

    Looks like the first 2 stages today, 2 & 3, have been cancelled because the convoy taking them on the long trek from that ridiculous Mexico City stage is late.

    I feel sorry for the competitors and fans but it was a dumb idea and I'm glad there's some additional consequence to prove it.

    Here's a look at the Mexico City stage run last night.

    So stupid to have such a Mickey Mouse stage followed by such a long transit. Did Bernie help arrange this one? I'm sure not one competitor enjoyed this.

    After the cancellation of Stages 2 & 3, the one and only running of the 55km Stage 4. Meeke started something like 8th and after the stage credited his time in part to having a cleaner road to work with.

    Meeke said he stalled twice on the 1.09km street Stage 6. I don't know what that means for Meeke or his Citroen but it doesn't sound good...

    Looks like Hyundai may have resolved their misfire issue overnight. Here are Stage 9 results:

    I was wondering why Meeke dropped so much time on the last stage. Apparently he had a bit of an off...
