Woohooo Stu!!!

Excellent stuff and if I had to pick a fav of these here I'd go with the last one of Harri and the second image of the Subaru (that's the second image posted, ie the first of the Suby).

Now off to look at the pbase gallery as well.

Really, really well done!

Great shots Stu :!: :!: :!:
It was a very good rally and Loeb showed us all that he is the boss! 8)
Thanks for sharing!

Love these shots. The old Citroen sedan was one of the wierdest looking cars ever built. It had a unique suspension system as well that would adjust the car up and down depending on the surface it was driving on. They were everywhere in France during my younger years.

Ahhhhhhh there they are!! Well done Stuart!!

Great shots Stuart! That last one with the driver hanging out the window is especially good - you captured his anticipation.

 

[StuSimmo]

Thanks

Thanks for the comments everyone. Chris, it wasnt anticipation, he had just hit and smashed a fence post (6 inch thick) bending his right front wheel. The shot was when the car was being loaded onto the tow truck, I jsut called out his name and wished hime luck getting it fixed.

He was back on the stage testing 30 mins later. A few more pics -

Cool shots - the reds look a little over cooked, maybe my monitor though.

btw: Me a kiwi also !

Rally racing kicks butt! I wish Rally racing would over take NASCAR in the US. Real racers go sideways! :wink:
