This was definitely a great outing and I'm already looking forward to next year. I wonder if Harold will be available again? He was really great. He converted km to miles on-the-fly and kept me on the right path. He even gave me a few pointers on rally driving that I hope I will be able to practice on some gentler roads.

Engine issues are simply incentive to get off my butt and drop in the diesel. The "other project" that I was talking over with Darin will have to wait a bit longer. I'm also working out the logistics of adding some "air support" to the suspension for raising/lowering the ride height for the rougher sections of rallies like this one. Would help around here too.

If anyone finds any links to pics of the FrankenJetta in the wild, I'll start a thread( as suggested by Jeff(nerdboy)).

I'm sorry if I say it too often, but I really enjoyed meeting everyone, and I promise to work on my French.

P.S. I can't believe I'm the first one to mention the naked bicyclist protesters. GREAT distraction just before the rally.
