Though I was VERY pleased with my Peugeot 307 WRX #7, it had an issue. A TERRIFIC model from AUTOart, but with an incomplete livery 😏. Fortunately I was able to source a decal set and now it looks super. Not the easiest decal job I ever did, but now my model looks much better.

Stumbled upon this 4-minutes gem the other day. Usually, Group B rallying footage isn’t the best. Well, back in the 80s we didn’t have HD videos, so most of the stuff that you can find on YouTube is low definition. Yet, this video is in HD! The audio track is chill, with mostly not-terrible music and some original ambient sound. In the end, a pretty neat video for the rally fan.
While at the gym this morning, resting in-between exercise series (one of those moments when you’re uncertain if you want to die or just go home?), I looked up to the big screen TV. Normally I don’t even know what’s showing on the TV, since I just want to get the torture over as soon as possible. Yet, today I looked up and to my astonishment they were showing a recap of the 2025 Kenya Rally, that ended this Sunday 23rd. Well, I than had to watch it, and boy, as always, the Kenya Rally was wild! And once again, DirtFish produced a great video on the race, so if you have 8 minutes to spare, it’s a nice watch.
And before someone asks, I’m not at liberty to confirm or deny the rumor that today’s gym session was not 100% optimal…
