I am Centurion Titus Polonius. And the only trouble I've had is that nobody seem to realize that I'm their superior officer.

With antlers like that, I don't think he had any issues on that front. :quagmire:

Edit: New page means I should probably post a photo. Here's an M10 Wolverine Tank destroyer in Normandy. So awesome they named an X-man after it!

Strafe those atheistic degenerates. Color them green with lots of holes.

Maybe I'm a huge loving pussy, but why didn't the drivers refuse to race?

Group B rally really was one of those events that took the concept of insanity and cranked that poo poo right up to 11.

I read once that the drivers had to think of the people as bushes or they got too nervous to race. Nobody cares if you hit a bush so drive as fast as you can!

Rally racing isn't like track racing where you can sit in the stands and watch. Most of the time the fans stand dangerously close to the track and watch. Sometimes, something goes horribly wrong and they're more than willing to jump in and help ...

or when all else fails, jump in a lake and pull the drivers out so they don't drown.

What do all the numbers mean ? "70. Long flat left. 120." I assumed they were the speed until there was a 300 thrown in there.

Co-drivers also sometimes call out what gear the driver should be in for a turn, so if you hear something like "100 left 5" it means there's a left turn coming up and the driver should be in 5th gear.

The numbers can also be the tightness of the corner. a 9 point scale will have 9 as a real tight hairpin and 5 as a 90 degree turn. etc.
