Nice!

So tell me, did Martin choose a 240 so he could fit your name on the rear quarter windows?

In the Canadian Rally Championship we also have to stick the car number in the rear side window.

We need much BIGGER windows!

Hmm... If there were only a rally car with bigger quarter windows...

Yup, Robb Wells and John Paul Tremblay, who play Ricky and Julian on the Trailer Park Boys, competed in the Grand Touring category last year. They drew HUGE crowds of autograph seekers whenever and where ever they stopped. Super nice guys.

Because they had no racing experience, and zero rallying experience, they weren't permitted to compete in the faster Targa categories in their first year, but were forced to run in the slower Grand Touring category.

They didn't have the patience and discipline to be competitive at that, because they just wanted to go faster all the time. They do plan to return this year in the Targa category, which promises to be interesting.

Also worth watching is this CTV-W5 episode, posted in two parts on-line at:

http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/WFive/20101111/w5-soldier-on-fund-mitic-knisley-101113/

Talk about super nice guys, these two astounding guys are way beyond inspirational.

"The incredible story of two soldiers -- Corporal Andrew Knisley and Master Corporal Jody Mitic -- who refuse to let their horrendous injuries slow them down from taking part in a gruelling endurance rally race for a good cause. "

"They're lucky to be alive. Now a daring new chapter begins for two Canadian soldiers who lost limbs in Afghanistan. The race is on as Corporal Andrew Knisley and Master Corporal Jody Mitic get set for a phenomenal finish in one of the world's toughest races. "

Is this something I could be easily instructed on how to do? I have speed and internet. I would gladly do it if so. Would it work playing it back via dvr?
