At least I can entertain the thought of being on a podium, I can see why you might be a bit jealous Matt. Don't worry though buddy, I have faith you'll make it some day!  Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/13/2017 11:28AM by dreamsofjvl. |

Oh soon how young people forget, first time out in a freshly built truck I was 8th OA and 2nd in O2WD at the 2015 Radium rally. So fuck you Adam, I don't have to dream I've sprayed champagne. Yes, it's a Ranger. Xr4Ti, it is rwd and was made in Germany. |

Adam doesn't make it to the end of most rallies so how would he have known that? ,😎 I really enjoyed driving through the DUI checkpoint at 100aw this year with an entire car and crew reeking of champagne. Cop was like, your whole car smells like a bar. I laughed an explained and all was good. A proper crew chief stays sober even when you podium overall. 😁 Grant Hughes |

What a schmuck..Fucking up that bad on SS1..For a guy who is so delusional that he thinks he has done all and knows all, how the hell can you be so amateurish as to crash bad on SS1? So sure you can "entertain the thought" but its just more Vokes Fappathon. Have you always been so delusional, or is this a more recent thing in the last 10 years?

Oh, can't take what you dish eh? Frigging cry baby lol. I hope your participation champagne tasted great :p So eat a dick Matt, love you long time Mr. "I got fuckloads of rally experience back in the UK" big swinging dick. As I've been taught to believe, the proper phrase for this situation is "jog on".
True dat, but at least I, ya know, go and compete/drive at rallies. Not one or two hillclimbs a year
As for JVL... Well, at least my life isn't as fuckered as yours hasbeen (oh hoh, word play!) Man, everytime I look at your results from "back in the day", it reminds me why nobody listens to you. Well, I guess a few people do... Who aren't rallying anymore lol. Now this is the Rally Anarchy I remember

I'm entered at Rally Colorado to get my quota of one event per decade on average. 
I'm also hauling the new Compact back up to Montana at the end of the month hopefully so I can come play with you guys in Canada. Hoping to make Big White, we'll see. 4 miles from my shop to logging roads. Another 3 to the national forest where the roads get more twisty so hopefully get some good shakedown in. Grant Hughes |

Yawn. You're right, I take the big swinging dick comment back. I don't know where you are getting results info from though. I've done 12 events, finished 6. Three big crashes, three mechanical DNF's (and the mechanical DNF's all were quite odd). Led a regional, set fastest stage times regionally (both at my first event as a driver and thereafter), ran 4th overall for a majority of a national event, podium on an overall regional, another one was close, and a 3rd would have except for chicane penalties that were BS. So in short, you keep feeling proud of going for a Sunday drive, I'll keep my big boy pants on and keep pushing the limits
And for the record JVL, multiple cars did what I did even after we slowed them down, including one that ran into us. I had 5 competitors tell us they almost hit the bridge even after we slowed them with triangles and clear waving. Wasn't an if but a when that bump was taking a competitor out. No excuses though, end of the day my line was poor and I wasn't where I should have been. But we'll be back for Defi, I'm building a car, unimaginable as that may be to you :p
That's awesome man, glad to hear/see it. You should come to Big White... you have no reason not to. It'll be cheap, easy on the car, easy prep. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/13/2017 08:03PM by dreamsofjvl. |

So how does them being also amatuerish and fucking up make your amateurish SS1 fuck up somehow better? Oh have they bragged all over how they habve done everything in rally and know everything, too? Still how does that erase your noob type SS1 humiliation?
No excuses? What's all this ranting and raving if not a bunch of excuuses? You even read what you write Vokes? Un-self-aware much?

Except that whole, "I don't need a heater" thing that applied to Colorado. We had a heater valve come apart on us once so I eliminate those lately. Gonna have to fix that "issue."
I'm hauling the new car up here at start of July so I can finish prepping it. Grant Hughes |
