Thanks!

Fitting anything more powerful than now will prolly rip up the car, it ain't the strongest chassis in the world lol.
One idea I had how to raise money is to give a chance to everybody at SnusOn to donate, and I will print every donators name on the car for next season, but I'm not too sure it'll work.

50 euro would be better than a kick in the bollocks

Grats Kev, you need to glue a dirty great turbo onto the engine to it can spit fire WOuld love to sponsor stuff like this but, lacking the one thing you need, money! lol. If I ever came into a lot of money I would love to sponsor a team or get involved in motorsport. Good luck for next year and let us know how the mods for the car go.

Also if anyone is intrested in sponsoring us next year, get in touch with me- kevinvol21@gmail.com or send a PM, and lets discuss the possibilities!

Ok, the 2012 season is finished, our final places were 7th in Moskvich Big Cup, 9th in Moskvich Rally Cup and 7th in Moskvich Sprint Cup. For a first full season I am happy, the car lacks speed but we'll try to do something with that during offseason. Also few more intresting offers for next year, but will show them when they are 100% sure.
Also would like to mention some of the companies who helped us during the season alot: Premium7, Lepiku Auto, AER Autoservice, Värvaltrans OÜ, Gotlandssnus AB, Beemedia and Texaco.

Big crash in Rally Madona in Latvia, latvian co-driver Igor Bartaščenoks was killed in fatal accident. Also confirmed that Lithuanian rally pair Rocks Kvaracejs and Audris Šoss were both taken into hospital and one of them is in ICU but their life is not in danger (picture of their car can be found here: https://twitter.com/Go4speedLV/statu...150656/photo/1 ) . Sad day for Baltic rally drivers and fans. R.I.P

Truth is I kind of like the new Fiestas. I have been thinking about an econo box car for better MPG. Some thing I could just squeeze me an my bass rig in and grab the buick or the van for bigger gigs. But most of those vehicles at 6'5" I would have to kick my own ass for driving one. If mpg is that important on a given day then I will ride the Harley, like I did today.

Fiestas, yes I have seen the new models but the thoughts of race dominating Fiestas and thinking back to the models from many years ago, well it just makes my head hurt.

Oh yeah the old Group B Quattros were great! Ford RS200, MG Metro, Peugeot 205, all of these were wonder- and powerful ones. Nowadays, the World Rally Championship is dominated by Ford Fiestas and Citroen DS3

[devilock76]

True not any more, as much. The original quattro when it came out was something though.

Yeah I would love to own a WRX STI, but having such a car would be the end of my drivers license...
