thecraicbear 0 Posted April 15, 2016 It basically looks like the i20 took even more steroids. I think all manufacturer cars are gonna end up looking pretty similar in 2017. I think the i20 2016 went with a VW style design, and it looks like the C3 is going for the same approach. I suppose it's a case of, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!"

tbtstt 2,387 Posted April 15, 2016 The Polo and the Fiesta are the best looking of the current crop of cars (in my personal opinion) and I'm expecting the same again with the 2017 cars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Such a nice tarmac stage.https://youtu.be/u3L5IfR6UkM?list=PLVyRAt2cxbxtf8jr91kqhUxYCWhMg0UuaAfter watching @edgenz I want NZ. So beautiful landscapes! If we could pick any location to be added to the game, then Irish tarmac stages would be my first choice! The Glens stage would be great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaloSamo 0 Posted April 24, 2016 Hayden Paddon has almost half a minute advantage over Ogier before today's last leg (3 stages). Boy, do I wish him to win in Argentina! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bogani 756 Posted April 24, 2016 My god the current promotor does a bad job covering the WRC. And I really can't stand listening to Jon Desborough. Sounds like a total d*ck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Underkex 0 Posted April 24, 2016 What a boring season, another Latvala stone-crash lost rally. At least Paddon is winning insted of Ogier. Right now my fun is in the RX, WRC is boooring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaloSamo 0 Posted April 24, 2016 At least they made it harder for Ogier by messing with the starting order. He is struggling as a road cleaner, isn't he?And yeah, RX is great to watch and there is drama and controversy right from the beginning. Go Mr. Hollywood!

gheeD 15 Posted April 24, 2016 Wow, yeah sure thing, maybe you should call up VW and replace latvala then. It was a line anyone would and could have taken, but the car couldnt handle it anymore wether because the rough rally it had persevered before it and just gave up now or because of any number of reasons.

Pal, I wasn't aggressively opposing your opinion, I was genuinely wondering because I didn't know for sure. Fucking hell. How dare I start a discussion to try and gain knowledge! That'll teach me.

gheeD 15 Posted April 24, 2016 Well your "genuine" tone didnt come across as wondering to me. Sounded actually quite opposite of wondering why latvala crashed, if it was his mistake or technical bad luck.Maybe if you want to gain knowledge maybe you shouldnt try to ridicule the driver at the same time.

Are you fucking kidding me? Are you and him lovers? You must be reading a completely different comment to me, because nowhere in my comment was there any harsh criticisms, given the context. I clearly posed my comment as a quest to gain knowledge on that particular incident. Seriously, wind your neck in and stop being on the defensive. I was just wanting to have a discussion about it. Not that I need to justify it to you, but I really like JML, and would have him win titles over any other driver in the WRC due to how much he's deserved it, and the bad luck he's had over the years. So just settle down and see the comment for what it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
