I wish :?

Skoda have confirmed they'll have Colin McRae driving for them again in Australia - so you should have at least some spectacular action to watch!
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

What sort of camera do you use? Digital SLR? Good timing on the action shots!!!
