    No, that's not the turbo glowing on the snow. It's directly under where the fog light would be mounted. I'm thinking it's more likely a fog light that has slipped the mount and is aiming down at the ground directly from within the bumper fascia.

    I'm constantly in shock at how those WRC guys stare death in the face every time they run.

    Great Vid MM!:Thumbsup: Thanks for posting it. That little cockroach of a Citroen looks pretty bad azz. Seb is no slouch either. The MINI WRC looks rather large in comparison.

    Yep, that's a light. You can see it at the end of the video when it is parking. Awesome vid though.

    Are you suffering from cabin fervor, Mr I-Have-Nothing-Nice-to Say-About-the-Countryman? :D

    Are you having defender of the Countryman syndrome? :D

    Do you not think the Citroen bug looks smaller than the Countryman SUV?

    You might be correct....
    I just didn't see any lights anywhere on the vehicle turned on (except at the very start and the very end)???
    Hmmmm so the only light working is the fog light that fell out of the housing? Weird

    I had to look that one up. They appear to be similar to "doughnut holes" and from what I have read on the MOM page, I would not stand a chance in a contest with an Ohioan. I concede. :cornut:

    I like the guys who made a little fire in the wide spot next to/on the road...

    Yeah.....
    I'll bet they had a couple of bottles of Aquavit to keep them warm too.

    You noticed they did away with the flappy paddle shifters and went back to the manual sequential shifter.

    Nice vid......can't wait for the season to start. Any idea if the Discovery Channel is going to carry this again?
