    A Norwegian reporter asked Solberg to say a nice thing about Richard Burns. "His girlfriend is really nice". :D

    Typical for Hollywood & he just got married :LOL: :D

    If Burns rediscovers his form at Subaru then next season will be knife on edge stuff :cool:

    Pannizi has joined Mitsubishi - A bit weird but the asphalt ace has proven he knows a thing or two on gravel. Welcome back Mitsubishi :)

    Btw, have you seen the new Peugeot 307 WRC?
    It's really :cool:

    I find it a bit huge. Not classy like the Focus but a bit like a Citroen :angel: Maybe it's the red colour. It's just awful - The silver bullet was cool.

    Wow, that's cool, Ali! :angel:
    Good luck to you! :)

    Rovanpera the tall & gangly Finn has finally landed a full season with Peugeot after being confirmed as the 2nd for 2004. Loix gets the 3rd driver slot.
    This leaves Sainz & McRae at an awkard position as Loeb & Simon-Jean Joseph both have contracts for next year at Citroen.

    Rally Telstra Australia
    Rally Australia got onto a flying start in Perth with Petter Solberg winning the Superspecial in Gloucester Park. Times were tight as this is a 2.45km spectator friendly section with 2 rally cars taking each other on at the same time.
    Proper rally starts tomorrow.

    Go Solberg! Go Makinen! Go Subaru!

    Like Juventus, Citroen needs a youngster ;)
    For me it would be fine if Sainz or McRae leave Citroen. :angel:

    Yea, it's gravel-marbles time again!:extatic: :thumb:
    Richard Burns will be the "sweeper" :D He's gotta race on the 1st day.
    I must say that Petter Solberg, Markko Martin and Gronholm would be good at this race ;) but don't forget,... Sainz could sneak :strong:
    Like you said, Citroen has a good fast car, so anything could happen :)

    Go Solberg! Go Makinen! Go Subaru!

    Loeb steals the show on the first day as Gronholm overshoots a corner and loses 16 minutes. Solberg is hot on his heels and would have been leading except for a slight overshoot which cost him a few precious seconds. Makinen, Martin & Sainz are all fighting for fourth. McRae & Rovanpera make the point slots but both have been having brake problems. The top ten is rounded up by Loix & Auriol.

    Mamma mia! Petter made a great moves in the last day!:cool:
    Congrats to Subaru and to you the Subaru fans : Ali and Torkel ;)
    So, Petter now has the same points with Sainz, right?

    Too bad for Seba and Citroen, but we're gonna win in the next rally!:thumb:

    Thanks Anna and yes it was a worthwhile weekend for us Petter/Subaru fans. Am impressed with Loeb though - He is an asphalt ace and look what he did on gravel :eek: and this being only his second Rally Australia :scared: Just to think that the next 3 coming events are asphalt makes me quake in me boots.
    And the championship looks tight. It's a pity that the leader has not won any rally yet!

    Yep, Petter said that too :D I was so impressed with the youngsters in that Rally, I mean Petter and Seba ;)
    I think that winning was a wedding gift for Petter's wife, Pernilla Walfridsson!:angel:

    Yes, and now Citroen and Peugeot has the same points! :extatic:

    Mc Rae won't be Citroen's driver anymore. Citroen now has 2 drivers : Sebastien Loeb and Carlos Sainz. :)
    Well, next year WRC will have 16 Rally from 14 this season!:eek:

    It will surely be a packed year. I really don't know if it is a good or bad thing though.
