Well done and congratulations to Petter Solberg for winning. What an end to the season

 

So much for the "no spoiler" gentlemens agreement on Scoobynet But I agree, great victory.

 

If only Id put my money on at 14-1 [walks off sobbing]

but its a great result anyway

 

Great result for Petter and Subaru!

 

you beauty, well done petter.....

Do you get the impression Petter doesn't think much of his subaru

 

Why do you say that, subster?

BTW, excellent performance Solberg

 

 

Thanks for that, i am just about to sit down and watch todays action

Mods...bin this to 'Motor Sport' before it spoils anyone elses viewing

 

Great win

I did in another post say he would HERE

Great news for Petter, but like the others, I saw this before I had a chance to view coverage of the last day. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Everyone else had done well not to post spoilers all weekend.

I guess there had to be one though.....

 

Sorry, I didn't know about any agreement or that it was like a footy match

I thought those who were bothered would have kept up to date via the WRC site like I did though.

Apologies if I have spoilt it for anyone, I was just trying to express my joy for the win and let people know

I'll get my coat......

 

What's all the fuss about? It was on TV this afternoon on C4!!

Get a grip folks! Oh if you are supposed to be such good fans then why the hell weren't you following it on the net like the rest of us!

and I missed it [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Still, great stuff

 

Thanks for the support Amanda, thats what I thought. But in hindsight I may have spoilt the suspense for some, next time I'll keep my big mouth shut

Petter always seems to think he may get the odd result, but doesn't seem to think he is in a championship contending car. O.k Petter has been let down by his car sometimes, but not as much as Subaru have been let down by Makkinen.

 

YYYYYYYEESSSS!!!!!!!!

...and Happy Birthday!!!!

Bye

Fantastic result for Petter, superb first stage this morning where he took over 20s from Markko, on a stage better suited to the Ford!

A bit nerve racking due the suspension failure - but came through to win - also great news to have a Welshman in the passenger seat win his first WRC on home soil.

And to top it off Petter leap frogs everyone from seventh to take second place in the overall championship.

Best rally of the year!

PS Wasn't it funny to see Burns go off - smiling at his crap fortune

PPS Even funnier was David Lapworths comment that of all the drives Burns could have had, he picked the only car that he can't drive

 

burns likes tail happy slidey cars.
so he picks a short squat point and shoot Pug ???????

I liked the expression on his face too

Congratulations to Petter and subaru he's been close a few times but has finally done it!! and the best bit is he actually looked happy about it which is more than some of the others do!!! hope to see more of it next year!!

 

That's what makes me grin every time I think of it: Petter jumped from 7th to 2nd in the WRC

Top stuff, good lad, happy birthday
