Our Promenading Performer has been playing Oregon Trail for the last few days, using Jalopnik screen names as the names of people in his party. So I ended up with a photo on my facebook of a Oregon Trail screen-cap, reading, "DEARTHAIR has a fever", followed by "DEARTHAIR has died."
@Hung Wei Lo in my Dodge Nitro: There's an online version, I believe. You can also play it on Facebook. The Facebook one is fun because if your friends are playing too you can steal supplies from them.
@Flathead Smith: Check our Subaru Forester review - that little guy was hardcore; even in base trim. We're sure to rack up some bonus points with the locals, too.
I suppose thats the best car to take when visiting near Seattle. It'll let you blend in with all the bull-lesbians. Heck, you may even get hit on if you look like those two in the picture with a little more facial hair.
Your coverage of Rally America events just made Jalopnik that much cooler!! The time to post about Lake Superior took a while (event in Oct, posted in Jan) but Sno*Drift was immediate.
If you wanna see some proper old school rally cars v the newer cars get to the Forrest of Dean rally this weekend, it includes rally stages from the proper old RAC rally.
@layabout now with V8 power: How old school is old school? I love old British rally cars, but a '70s Ford Escort is less likely to keep my attention than, say, a '58 Sunbeam Rapier.
@Armand Bengle: You may be let down then :( Some old cars from the 60's & 70's, plenty of old Minis,Saabs,Lotus Sunbeams,mk1 & 2 Escorts,right through the 80's & 90's. The odd 6R4 has entered in the past. Still a good & free day out with the smell of oil in the air & the sound of popping & crackling rally cars.
@layabout now with V8 power: If I lived in Britain, I'd definitely go. In my Sunbeam. As it stands, however, I'll have to be content with that video of the '58 Coupe des Alpes that we got to see a while ago: [jalopnik.com]
I still find it mind-boggling that Europeans get to see rally cars (of any age) in action on a regular basis. For FREE, no less!
I saw you guys driving the truck to the gravel pit on Saturday. I was in one of the sweep Jeeps. Also took a closer look at the propane F-150 at the Saturday afternoon service stop. Thanks for the rally coverage!

Crazy conservationists, chaining people to trees.

Oh, and I would prefer you not get your rocks off on my face. I'm not into that.

It seems to me like that flash opposite the camera may have been a wireless flash, but other than that I'm dumbfounded.

The flash opposite the car was just lucky timing with an ally of mine. We'll have plenty of more nightwork for you in a bit.

If my tenacity persists, we just might make every rally from here on out.

Kudos to you Mr. Wert.
