yes well I have always loved you....

woot woot rally this weekend...Go Grunholm! Kick Loebs ***!Argentena is what like dirt or gravel?

[nismofly]

loose gravel and dirt

and those water traps they splash through

[Red coupe]

This isnt the one that pwnt the subie is it? I though they already raced there this year...Wonder if they will make peter get down into 2nd again this year, that KILLED them...He was loosing like 5 second at that one section alone.

Not that it matters, unfortunatly peter seems to be a season or two off from being a skoda driver.....I realy wonder whats going on with that team.

[nismofly]

you mean petter?

its got two t's

[Red coupe]

yeah well I think I spelled grunholm wrong too.....That doesn't mean Petter isnt sucking, and with Markus growing up in finland hopefully the loose surface experiance will give him the edge over the almighty Loeb...Markus GronholmSeb LoebMikko Hirvonen

would be the ideal podium...

i grew up with colin mcrae rally on playstation, so i rooted for him when i got into it seriously a ways back

who was it that replaced him at ford again? thats who i liked until i started falling out of the loop, im really not that up to date still

[Red coupe]

He lost the position to Carlos Sains(I spelled the last name wrong). They were both Citroen drivers and I think a rule change took it from 3 seats to 2....Unfortunaly Carlos retired like a season after that.

[nismofly]

you sure it was carlos, i remember there being a 3rd ford for a year or two, and he moved into the 2nd factory ford when colin moved to citroen

i dunno, ive got it all mixed up

[Red coupe]

, McRae decided to part ways with Ford and sign with the promising Citroën team. However, the Scotsman could only muster seventh in the title race, with no rally victories. When hopes for a second stint at Subaru evaporated, with the Japanese marque signing young talent Mikko Hirvonen to partner 2003 World Champion Petter Solberg, he was subsequently left on the sidelines for 2004.It was Sebatien, Carlos and Collin for 2003 iircI think 2004 brought 2 car teams, and Carlos was outpreforming Collin so he stayed....until he retired 2005

[nismofly]

maybe...

when did loeb leave ford?

[Red coupe]

he has always been with citreon....Citroen was his first choice and he has said before that he has always been a fan and they have always been who he wanted to drive for...I just checked wikipedia and he got his start in he French Citroën Saxo Trophy series in 98 and won in 99, joined JWRC in 2001 and ran his first full season in 2002.pretty damn impressive actualy...

[nismofly]

yep...

then im still trying to figure out who the 3rd ford driver was

in like 02, it was mcrae, sianes, and who?

ill find it yet

[Red coupe]

maybe Markko Martin?

[nismofly]

THATS IT, YES

thank you very much, that was going to bug the **** out of me

he moved over to the main ford team after mcrae left, he had been in a 3rd car, i think it was a private team

is he still in it? i havent heard anything about him since the factory ford team dropped out...or are one of the two ford teams still factory just with a funky paint scheme?

[Red coupe]

I dont think he has raced since last season after Michael died...

[nismofly]

ooohhh that may be it

so is one of those teams the factory ford then?

[Red coupe]

THATS IT, YES

subie is the only one that is stil factory back this season actualy,Its now the BP-ford (BP is like a fuel company in britain?)

[nismofly]

ok, i thought ford wasnt factory anymore

bp stands for british petroleum

theyre here too, you might not have them in cali

ill take a picture this weekend if you want

[nismofly]

actually i just checked, i remember a few years back BP started disappearing and then all of a sudden i started seeing them again

turns out they had started pulling out of north america, then turned around and bought amoco

so if you didnt have amoco before, you dont have bp now

i dont know which standard oil company you guys were left with

[nismofly]

i just read the wikipedia on standard oil

you guys have chevron, whereas we have what is now BP, after the breakup every state that had standard oil got its own, whats now left are exxon/mobil, chevron, sunoco, texaco, marathon, and BP, which bought amoco and a couple others

[Mr1der]
