Title: How A $500 Craigslist Car Beat $400K Rally Racers
Post by: joltfreak on March 23, 2010, 03:54:16 PM
All I can say is wow. :-\

"This is the multifaceted tale of Bill Caswell, a man who bought a $500 crapcan off Craigslist to run against the $400,000+ rally cars in the World Rally Championship's Rally Mexico race earlier this month. .... It's the story of an enthusiast who drove a rustbucket to a third place finish in a FIA-sanctioned race."

LOL! This guy is my hero!!!

I was laughing so hard at this part : 'They said they like BMWs but are with a Mexican Dodge club. They love that I came to the WRC with no team and jump out at each service and start working. They said that I must be part Mexican because of the way I fix my car. That's a compliment, right?'   22.gif 22.gif 22.gif 22.gif
