So may I suggest a little challenge?

You’re in Cape town right?

Are you available last weekend of November?

I’m flying down to Cape town, we go to a little offroad track, you back Guerlain Chickerit, I’ll bring Johan and Petter, hell you want to make this a group thing, ok I’ll back Mattias and Andreas and to make things fair you can have the Hansen brothers and Seb Loeb! (Peugeot is like a Renault without the vulva badge, isn’t it?)

What you say? We have a little challenge?

If I lose I will personally donate my engine cover! I will hand it to you in person....

I came back home with my engine cover[emoji36]

Do you know how stupid it looks when you enter domestic departures with an engine cover?

Twice!?!

Nice Quack. That man did extremely well & I think he’s still a youngster

Edit: he’s actually 29!

On Friday night his car was still on a ship that did not enter the harbour at that time, due to high winds!

How he made it onto the track by Saturday morning I still don’t know!

I have huge respect for him, not only as a driver! I met him for the first time in Hamburg a few weeks ago. I was travelling with the FIA delegates and we got invited to the VW hospitality area, sceptical South African I lifted an eyebrow, only inside did I realise all the teams were having a fat Jol! And the perceived perversity I initially suspected was unfounded!

The next day he set time aside to demonstrate how the new neck braces work.

Even the great VW budget has it’s limitations[emoji12]

Last year their budget allowed for this! I suppose dieselgate hit them hard!🤦‍♂️

Well here’s photos of the Peugeot’s after arrival at the airport. The French must have a higher budget.
