The Finnish Crew !!

Wicked ! You guys must have the most combined "sideways" mileage on this board !

Long Live Hannu Mikkola, Ari Vatanen, Pentti Arikkala, Timo Salinen, Simo Lampnien, Timo Makinen, Marku Alen, Juha Kankenen, Tommi Makinnen etc etc (Sorry for the bad spelling.... )

And what it used to be like back in the good old days when I was 7 years old, suitably demonstrated by Walter Rohrl (his mum was Finnish right ? ) :

+ YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.


Sorry for way off topic stuff !

Think the next DIY is rod bearings,then.....

So only one of the crew is left without new O-rings...
Was interesting that both of yesterdays cars were leaking from the same solenoide on bank 2.


See ya,guys!

Hey K: Walter Röhrl and the Quattro are also one of my childhood memories

And we have a lot of sideways driving,especially in the winter on the frozen sea(yes,sea!!!).

I think the key to get them out is the gently twisting and twiggling because usually the O-rings are baked in the vanos.
