That kiss with the bus happened in '94. One sort of puts something like that as a milestone in ones life 8-)

Zen and art of rallying was never to be as (very) few of us discovered. I think besides me Sammy was the only giy to try Zen in rallying (in mountains at least). While on straight line it was lovely and you could fly in the plains the problems that became apparent in mountains were:
1 gearing gaps between first and second
2 low angle of approach (or large overhang) from the front wheel
3. unstable if you did sudden changes in (de)acceleration while cornering

The last was cause of my loosing the front end of the car and sliding on to oncoming bus. Oh well...
