All 5 Mini's are in the top 10

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

Well Robby Gordon proved again what an arrogant ass he is. And I quote "MINIs are for girls". Wow, he won a stage and that's what he says to the MINI guys?!?! Well, I guess being in 4th place behind a bunch of Minis will do that to you. Hope he loses big after his little tantrum.

Something that mister Gordon needs to looks is the guy that has won 3 Dakar rallies that is sitting in first right now and ask what I am I going wrong. Proves the earlier point just because you can run balls to the wall in the Baja and win the 500 and 1000 3 time each doesn't mean you know , Damn Americans LOLOLOL .

Mini goes 1,2,4 8 and 10, so much for being girls.

BTW: it would appear that the issue with Gordon was it looks like he was using his inflation system to by pass the restriction plate.

The photo of the MINI's leaping into the air over the sand dune is a great photograph.  They could sell posters of that photo.
