Nowadays people concentrate to much on the massive engines and nitro and power power power.But i enjoy hearing the basics much more.

"because when you bend the rim of the steel wheels the air will come out". classic!

and the interviewerer seems not to have any prior knowledge of such a simple fact :-)

Again, this is first class. A man with such insight that not only did he stud his own tyres in his hotel room but he even had the foresight to guesstimate how much tread he'd wear on the 'dry' stages before needing the stud for the snow! Any chance of bribing this legend to do some demo drives at one of the mini birthday celebrations. TBH it doesn't even matter if he drives a mini, his insight is a refreshing change from what we appear to have now.... Cheers, Karl.
