Paul and John, I can't wait for that magical night we all go drinking together. smiling smiley

Anders

Hey, aren't I invited to the drinking fest? All youse old guys probably don't know how to party anyways... smileys with beer

I never have met anybody in the 20s who has had enough experience to party longer than some guys in their 30s and 40s...

Like most things, guys with little experience overestimate their achievements in this area too.



Well put!

Think of it, you become stronger by doing things, party hard for 20+ years and you're going to be stronger than a kid who has only a few years serious party-tude.

And partying is more than empty minded drinking.

I was really mainly hoping for a good argument, maybe a round of making fun of each other, then being on my marry way. Serious business up in this thread spinning smiley sticking its tongue out

As my very first post to rallyanarchy, I would like to add to this bitchfest thread.

It seems to me that issuing BS "Press releases" became SOP somewhere in the late 90s, in Canada anyways. Literate rally folks who used to write real stories of rally adventures for club newsletters and such, then started instead issuing "Press Releases" to all their glorious fans vainly extolling their own wondersousness in finishing 3rd Production and 2nd last blablabla BS. Real stories of rally adventure seemed to die. Maybe the internets can also be blamed.

Marketing is generally the opposite of Integrity. Where businesses are built on Marketing rather than Integrity, expect Failure (at least eventually).

All those caps just felt Right.

Cheers,
Pete
... going rallying again in just 10 days!!!!! but whos counting

Go READ the sticky newbie. Your real NAME needs to be in your Profile and you need to use LESS common sense in your posts.

Press On.

It had better come with $20k of guaranteed sponsorship income for the 2013 season at that price!
