  I hope to see a future GRM article on that man, his car, and his WRC experience.

  Why are these called signatures when they are not in cursive?

  Two thumbs up. And two more from the co-driver.

  How can it be a midlife crisis, when I've driven sportscars my entire life?

  Check out the specialstage thread on the same topic for a picture of tracks left by the wheel-off-the-bridge awesomeness...

  Post #28. I'm pretty sure you can see a chunk missing out of the concrete where the control arm made contact (the car would have been traveling in the direction towards the photographer).

  That's just fantastic. A big thumbs up. I love the way it was reported, sleep-deprived and slightly askew emails from the road.

  And remember everyone, read the specialstage thread for the details on their trip JUST getting there. It'll open some eyes!

  One of the coolest stories I have ever read. Some people think about what would be cool to do, other people DO what would be cool to do.
