Howzitgoing? How much snow was there in Norway? Incredible! I haven’t seen that much in a long time. And it was fantastic. It’s so much fun to drive in – and to snowboard in! I did some boarding before I went to the rally, which was really cool. The rally itself started pretty well, but then went south on Saturday when we had the wrong air-intake fitted on the car; the intake filled with snow and killed the engine. It was so frustrating having to get out of the car and clear the snow out, we dropped loads of time. After that, we pushed a little bit on some of the stages, but there was no point taking massive risks when our chance of the result had gone. But what a feeling when it’s all going right! Pushing as hard as you can in these cars on roads which are difficult to even stand up on is just awesome. Snow is certainly one of the best surfaces to drive on. Now, though, it’s a case of going from ski to surf; mountain to beach. We’re off to Cyprus next. I’ll talk to you from there. |
