What kind of watch is this he's wearing?

Sorry for the crappy picture... it flashed by rather quickly during the Rally of Argentina coverage.

LOL! :D Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Oakley watches, but that bracelet is very distinctive. I remember there was a thread on here a few months ago about Oakley watches (many people thought they were way overpriced) and I looked them up at that time.

I bet that whatever he wears runs a little faster than everybody elses. :D

He is impressive in a rally car. I'll be interested to see if Kimi makes the jump to WRC and where he'll end up. Though I do hope it will be F1. I don't think there are many drivers who could do what Loeb does, there are none currently in the WRC.

Breitling should sponsor him, it would be a good fit.

I absolutely love the WRC, but this season just feels watered down to me. Subaru this year, mitsubishi last year... teams are dropping like flies. What makes it worse is that neither the Citroen nor the Ford are available to buy in any format even remotely close to the WRC cars... (unlike STi's and Evo's).

Don't you get the Focus RS in the states? If not, you should throw it in google or something, it's a considered a bit of a beast overhere. 8)

Nope, not available here. In fact, I think our Focus is still a generation behind yours.

It is, but I think it has something to do with you guys willing to pay more for a ford than we are.

No not yet. I hear that the new RS will be a world car and comply with US regulations. I believe it currently does not.

Either way it's still front wheel drive. If it were a 4WD, I'd consider trading in the Subie :)
