I've been waiting for someone to predict where this picture was taken just based off what you can see.

From the text on the sign, I determined this was in Norway.
From the title of the picture, I was then able to figure out that it probably has something to do with Darren Jones.

Parking and Way Out defintiely Norwegian...(another colege education wasted )

Yeah, but it seems that the Norskies who settled there (1300 years ago) picked up the local WELSH!

History
Main article: History of the Welsh language

Welsh emerged in the 6th century from British, the common ancestor of Welsh, Breton, Cornish, and the extinct language known as Cumbric.

Like most languages, there are identifiable periods within the history of Welsh, although the boundaries between these are often indistinct.

The name Welsh originated as an exonym given to its speakers by the Anglo-Saxons, meaning "foreign speech" (see Walha). The native term for the language is Cymraeg, and Cymru for "Wales."

Very nice article! I really enjoyed reading it.

Nice article, Brian.

Very refreshing to hear the story of another grassroots guy without the Jalopnik hype.

Good read

That man is having an excellent adventure!

Anticipating "that car didn't really cost £40" whining from the rally "community" in 3...2...

Grassroots rally. It's what I think about.

Great story.

Thanks, gents. I consider myself fortunate to know Darren. There is so much to love about this story...

- It's a £40 parts car turned into a rally car. (Flivver!)
- It makes about 100hp and does 95mph flat out.
- The rebuilt engine fought them the whole time.
- They ran street car suspension for an entire day.
- They pushed the car across the finish line.
- The finished.

There have *got* to be more stories like this in the global rally community. I want to find them and share them. Stuff like this gets me excited about rally.
