The drive I will aways remember was driving down a country road in dartmoore when my Ex's parents where heading right for me

2 cars down a narrow road and I was the one who gave way to the sight of a mud wall spraying all over my windscreen and a busted tire.

I bought it (it was 10 years old) the thing drove like crap and it only had 42k on it.

New tranny, 2 new C.v joints 4 bearing in each of the two rear wheels. New drive shaft. The thing cost so much I couldnt believe it. The interior was the worst I have ever experianced.

I have had 3 fords in the last 9 years and I will never ever buy another (except a 67 mustang) the rest can sit and rust.

tommi is a great talent, i think the young guys have a lot to learn from him. i'm sure he'll be competitive next season and hopefully they can get another 1 or 2 rookies to run select events (remember Marko Matin, just a year ago?)

If you look at tommi's performance this past season, he was the front running subaru for most races (berfore something would happen causing a DNF). It's hard to complain about your fastest driver.

Maybe next year he'll have a bit of luck too!

Tommi is a great driver who had a crappy season. Subaru would be crazy to get rid of him, someone with 4 championships to his name. It would be like Ferrari getting rid of Schumacher in F1. And to take a page from the Ferrari story, the first year that Schumacher joined Ferrari the placed like crap, DNF's, engine failures, and the like. But look at them now. A bulletproof car that wins championships and two drivers who work together (albeit with team orders) to win races. No one can touch Ferrari right now.

I do not think that we Subaru WRC fans will have to wait to much longer for a return to the top. The tools are in place, some revisions have been made to the car, and one of the best in the world at Rally right now, Tommi, is ready to return to dominance.

Now if only they would start to enter a third car like the Peugots (sic) the manufacturers points race would get interesting.

Yea, I thik witht the new revisions to the car, it's gonna be a lot closer to the Peugeots performance, and this is going to be a really exciting year for Subie fans (its about time already!!). And now Tommy's had a year to warm up to the team, it can only get better. There would be no reason to get rid of him unless he wasn't performing for several years.....or he was being "difficult" as past Subie drivers were. And poor Colin, I hope he's gettin a few buck from his video games.

When he won the Monte fist first time out in the Soobe I was " OHH YEAH its gunna be a good year" but then he had a car which seemed unreliable and some bad luck and other times just wasnt fast. I think he only signed a 2 year deal anyway so he may retire at the end of this season. A pity Subaru let Marko Martin get away
