Also, the English language forums are so much bigger, so more likely to get useful info. I notice that you are in Asturias, a really nice area of Spain, great roads for the scoot! I once competed in the Asturias International rally, 1984 if I remember correctly, great rallying roads too.
Ooops!

I know what forum you mean. I wanted to have a look but they required registering and since I can't write a decent Portuguese, I didn't bother. I can speak Galician so I can communicate with the Portuguese more or less well, but writing would be a problem and, after all, in this forum I've found all what I needed, so far.
Great that you know my region that well and that you've participated in the "Príncipe de Asturias" rally. In 1984 I was 11 years old. Mum wouldn't let me go to see the rally

. I saw my first ones when I was about 16-17 and keep great memories of that. Such an spectacular thing to see those M3, Cosworth, Integrale, etc... driven by men like Sainz, Puras, Ponce, Moratal, Bardolet, Climent, etc... I am a rallying aficionado, too

. The bad news is that I lost all hope to have the good old times back. Rally cars are no longer powerful RWD or AWD cars, and if I am to drive a few hours, stand in the sun (or in the rain), eat sandwiches and be uncomfortable for a whole day to see a rally, I want to see something worth being seen. And nowadays, few cars are worth being seen.
Glad you sorted out your problem
