    Maybe they should put him in a Justa Countyguy so he doesn't tear it up?

    Ya.....eurosport has always done a great job. I don't know the reasons behind the whole Eurosport thing, but it doesn't smell good from here.

    I'm with you there. Of course unless his sponsors decide it's worth the cash to sponsor his ride in other rallies, they're only teaching him how to finish up in Sweden. After that it'll be someone else (IF anyone comes up with the money to pay for the seat) and the next rally is in Mexico (8 - 11 Mar).

    Joining Dani Sordo in the second MINI will be Swedish driver Richard Göransson.

    Great idea. Lets give the second car to an inexperienced driver. BMW really knows how to go for the win. :eek:ut:

    Since Kris is not driving the 2nd MINI countryguy I think it is swell they are having a young driver take the helm. He has proven he can be competitive in a lesser car. Maybe he will show MINI he has what it takes besides sponsor cash. I wish him well.:fingerscrossed:

    Snow Snow Snow!!!

    IMHO snow & slippy conditions show driver talent rather than who has the fastest car. Fastest driver wins.

    Exactly my point Crash. The BMW is simply "playing" and is not serious about trying to win this.

    Guess I do not give a rats arse about BMW, but do care that a young guy with talent is getting a well deserved chance at a good ride. I think the Finn's in the Ford & the Citroen are a very good bet for the win. Oh & lets not forget Solberg.

    To heck with politics, rally rally rally!!! :D

    I have to call it like I see it Crash and I do not see it the same way you do, which is fine. Heck, if you could get your farmer buddy back in operation, you could buy a ride in the second MINI WRC car. All it takes is money. :D

    I am still interested in the battle between Loeb, Latvala, Solberg, Ogier and Hirvonen. Their teams are serious and Steve's great coverage makes it possible. I will cheer strongly for the MINI privateer teams, but as far as the MINI Factory Team goes, well, whatever.
