I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!

Video shots

Postby beeker » Sun Nov 19, 2006 8:07 am

This is a shot from the 2nd to last WRC stage at Mystery Creek Hamilton yesterday. Its a lower ranked Subee, but wait... whats that catching it like a bat out of hell.... Its a Peugot with no front window !! Obviously a roll over back on its wheels. Must be windy in there on the long 200kph+++ straight.

I'm ambivalent - I'd love to be down there watching the cars but I know I'd be frustrated about not getting to as many stages as I want to etc etc. Besides which I've been busy working all weekend (both real work and the rally car).

I have however been using http://mfile.akamai.com/20546/live/refl ... bkup=34144 to keep an eye on the event (radio commentary/interviews and helecopter footage of the stages) - great since I don't have Sky for their coverage. I also watched the Mystery Creek SS on Friday and Saturday on Sky (dinner with Grans FTW! :lol: ) and thought it was an awesome course!
We know that four-wheel drive doesn't work in a racing car, and I proved to myself that it doesn't work very well for rallycross. I'm absolutely convinced that it has no future in rallying, either, even if the regulations allowed it. - Roger Clark (rallying legend), circa 1976
