Ok, Fins are home. :) Its time to sum up what happened...

First, I really want to say that people in UK are very polite and they really made us feel like we are welcomed. Thank you for that, we really had good time, where ever we were... :)

Then I want to apologise our bad english. Its really hard when you get exited about some topic, your brains are working but your mouth just goes blaah blaah and no one cant understand anything what you are trying to say... ;)

Our trip to UK were more than a trip to us. You really cant imagine what it ment to us. I did mention to few people that there is just no rotarys and just a few people who really knows about rotarys here in Finland.

Maybe our trip was a step, 10 years of hobby became a lifestyle... ;)

For me, I really want to push even harder, to get all these stubborn Fins to understand what a amazing thing a rotary is. I have done that for a 10 years now, and believe me, Ill keep doing that until I die... :D

For my brother Jukka (aka jynkkis at MRC forum), I think that he really wants push to get his car done and to get to see his FB beast at the track. Your feedback about that car made us both wanting to push harder to get FB running... brab brab brab whaaAAAAMMM! ;)

Thank you to all of you, we really had a epic trip! And we will be back! :)

Your English is better than our Finnish, and your English is also better than a lot of English people\'s English.

Clive if you get a rotary based tattoo I will pay for it!!

Toni Niemi with Rotary Starlet is number 1 in autocross!!! He managed to come in 2nd place in final round of championship. He had enough points to win championship! Congrats Toni! Next year hopefully more rotarys will be fighting against MR2...

Btw, in RS10, me, C J R, Steve and some others talked about solid engine mounts. Nylon with heatwrap. Does someone have pictures of them? Need D.I.Y. help... ;)

I can\'t help with the engine mount query, but I did want to congratulate Toni on winning that Autocross championship in a rotary powered car. It\'s great to hear of such successes and to know that people are demonstrating how good the rotary engine can be in competitive events :Thumbs-up

Engine in its place. As you can see, it is really in "deep". ;) Only problem is that there is no room for carb and airfilter... :/

My brother dropped engine down by 4cm. Now, carb has more space around it.

Its funny, I have seen that engine and gearbox on its place 3 times now. That is just sick. Its so far behind that its got to be illegal ;)

Diff is now in place too. And he did get "custom made PPF".

BTW, Toni´s win in autocross made people to talk and hype about rotaries. Hopefully we can get more rotaries to race in the future. :)

I´m a moron. Just realized that I typed "you", I meant ME! ;)

Then some bad news: My brothers back is maybe "gone". He might get knife to fix that. Well, anyways there is a change that he might need a surgery.

So, because that and other reasons, his Dirtkicker FB wont be finised so soon... :(

Other news in National rallycross:
Car minimum weight is 1000kg now.
Billet stuff in engine are not allowed.
8 valve engines can be 2200cc.
+ lots of rules to make championship cheaper and even to all.
