Dude.. You're awesome! In stock form the car is super ugly, but in rally livery it looks like it belongs. Thank you for the quick lesson, I appreciate it!

Nice! Look at that wheel well gap on the stage picture, you could fit a few loaves of sourdough in there.

What's wrong with the wheels on that car?

Why can't we see them even in stop-action..
Something's wrong..

Somebody didn't mistakenly think black wheels is anything other than a foolish fad, did they??

No, just a guy who "has never done anything and was always slow" according to some old buitter guy wo only ever left his county of birth 1 or 2 times.
Or just 9 days ago as somebody with a big pre-concieved "plan" to conquor the grass-o-cross world said:

If you cannot give advice, and not have a hissyfit if its not taken 100%, or be positive; stay the F off of my thread you f-ing arse.

I heard so much negative about you both in e-mails and on phone calls with plenty of rallyists, shop owners, vendors, and suppliers*. I let it go in one ear and out the other, because the internet is full of stupidity and keyboard commandos. Sadly, everything I have been told has turned out to be true. I don't give a damn if were the best suspension set-up guy in the history of rallying; you're still a pompous, condescending piece of shit.

Because I wondered aloud if his plans to buy 7.5 x 17" wheels and big brake kit and install a 250 hp turbo motor was stealth trolling.

I could go on.


* considering I deal with zero shop owners, vendors and suppliers, it does beg the question just where they got their opinions..
