What Dave says is absolutely true. I watch the Total rally each year and the great thing this year was a new car that looked and sounded different to all the Toyotas and VWs that fill the field. I saw the car burning and it was very sad. This is not a full works team that will simply have a replacement in 5 minutes. We may not see a Fiesta back again and that is bad for rallying in SA, Ford fan or not! |
Ford, excactly where you expect it. Overheating or catching fire somewhere....
I once had a Ford in my life, never again. I am now a loyal VW driver, and will stay that way!!
Go VW! |
Once again proving that VW is a serious player - always winning the SA rallies, winning the Dakar 1-2-3...so where is Toyota then? Every dog has its day, I guess...GO VW! |
"Sean", "Editor@BOB&JP", "@ Who ever commented to me" > You guys remind me of the type of people who go to events just to see accidents happen then run back to the school yard and tell your friends about how "jisssstie did u check that boue!?" Maybe if you worked in a team and put effort into the work you do you'll understand the personal investments these teams and their team members put into these cars... but you probably still dont get it... nevermind, common sense isnt all that common after all... |
Everyone is missing the point. Ford's presence in rallying is/was a major boost for the sport and this is a set-back that they may not recover from. Which is very sad indeed. It was shocking to see and the investment by all roleplayers involved in this team is substantial... |
I think the 2 Toyotas crashed because the floormats got stuck on the throttle pedal. Also they could'nt steer propaerly, cause lately thats the problem with Toyota. And concerning the Ford...Ag shaim, a Ford is still a ford, burns for no reason, probably leaked oil that cought fire or something. |
you idiots...these rally drivers choose knowing all the risks involved in motorsport.
if ya do wana die then play marbles, thats safe.
Your comments reflect how immature you both are. This is part of motorsport and its spectacular and humorous also. oh dont use that holier than thou crap to comment.
Shup! my owens sean n FOW24. |
Please give me the names of the people who died in this accident. Who, oh, you cant, there is no names because everyone was ok. And just for the record, my wife, mother/father, doesnt drive rally cars. So guess what, I am not worried. Wake up, and dont be so serious. If you are going to take everything so serious then dont read anything on the internet. "psycho tendencies" - who is the chop now? |
FORD - First On the Rubbish Dump
He had to tow in the VW...... hahahahaha |
@JP & Bob: You need to learn not to take things on the internet so seriously. Trust me, the internet is not serious business. Lighten up. |
@ FOW24, remind me to laugh at you when your wife, mother/father dies. Except I won't laugh because I'm not sick like you. Stupid comments like those by Sean insult those affected by the loss of some of the crew in the road accident. If you think that is funny, you are one of those ppl who should be investigated for psycho tendencies. what a chop you are, you chop. |
theres no way toyota cld step up their game mayb they thought they wld zoom past every1 thanx 2 the faulty accelerators but alas! they landad in a ditch |
Not good for the Ford team, better luck next time guys! |
@Sean HAHAHAHA, funny man. @JP, get a life dude, no one is dead, only a car that burned down. They will have another car in no time. I can see a Ford recall after this :) |
@JP> I couldnt agree more. Not only that, remember this is the team who lost two of their support crew as well as their Subaru Rally car last year in a horrific accident on the highway en route to Cape Town... now they lost their new car as well.
@Sean> You must be so proud of yourself for cracking jokes at other peoples misfortunes. I hope the team gets a replacement car soon though, they've been through enough and deserve some good fortune... |
FORD - For Only Real Drivers |
@ Sean......not very funny man, you have any idea how much they spent on that car??? grow up! |
Very sad day for the Basil Read Ford Team. Not a fan of Charl Wilken nor his father but whish the team all the best in finding a new car before the Cape Rally later this year. Well done to the BP Volgswagen team proofong that they are still the best. Toyota really needs to step up there game because VW is on the road making it the 7th year in a row... |
Ford = Found On Road Dead :-P |
