    Is it just me who has been/is watching the German Rally this weekend, Danni Sordo is going into the 3rd and last day (today) in a comfortable 3rd place overall while Chris Meeke in the second mini is in 5th place... Woohoo Come on boys your doing a brilliant job, especially considering it's only their 3rd rally event this year!!! WELL DONE LADS. :-)

    Your right Gordy, looks like it must just be me who is watching these guys, I would have there would have been a lot more mini enthusiasts in here who would be glad to see them entering Rallying again after such a long time of there absence, but obviously thats not the case but not to worry I'll be their only Scottish fan/supporter then LOL ....just in case anyone is interested, Sordo finished the rally in 3rd place overal and Meeke unfortunately retired with electrical problems...

    I was watching it on Motors TV despite the fact that all the programmes were running about 30-45 mins late on it all weekend!!!

    I was watching this on Motors TV at the weekend too! Excellent work(s) from Sordo - 3rd Overall.

    As Zimbo said, shame for Chis Meeke, who went out on SS 18 with an electrical failure, after a puncture had knocked him back a few places - I think he was lying 4th or 5th after Sordo at one point. There was also a 'private' WRC MINI which finished in (I think) 9th overall. Brilliant result for what is, after all, their 'shakedown' year. Looks good for future events.

    Discovered it was on ESPN last night, but only after all the action and it was the summing up at the end! Time to do a bit of searching...
