    Way to go Pernilla

    I've always felt the co-driver's are the ones with real bravery.:yesnod: Give me a car & I will drive. Ask me to sit next to a rally or race driver. No thanks! :nonod:

    260hp in a RWD Escort Mark 2! You've got to think that his spares kit includes one entire replacement boot/trunk section of bodywork for each day he competes.....

    Where pilots in aircraft use a tail fin to keep them straight, Mark 2s (particularly when driven by Scanwegians) use the boot/trunk.

    Interesting spectator at the shakedown today. According to reports, the reindeer had to stay in the official parking area as they didn't have the right passes.

    I never get tired of rally driving. I get to a point where I say, enough is enough then I just can't do it. I love buidling the cars and the bonus is driving them. I'm like a little kid waiting to drive the Mini in anger. Even at 51 I feel I'm quicker than I was back in my 30's due to experience and I know my limits. I'll be rallying until I can't drive anymore.
    I'm known as Gringo loco in CR! LOL

    That car is way beyond ST, but if Ford is smart they will use the WRC car in their advertising. :)
