Irish Bid on Jos Kuypers Car - Page 2

rx-guru · 24 Jul 2007, 14:24 (Ref:1972175)

But why sticking to the Emerald Isle, guys? How about Bird spotting in Cumbria…?

M.Lowe · 24 Jul 2007, 19:52 (Ref:1972431)

I would hazard a wild guess at Gibson, but he did say hewould of liked a Lancer afew years ago which would tie in with his business and who better to build one than Steve Hill

Hopefully all will be revealed soon and they will do the Rallycross Superprix

If the Bullet dosnt want me for that event I'm available to service for anyone

I would be surprised if we see Birdy back in a rallycross car in the near future.

I seem to remember he said, he enjoyed himself, and may well look to doing some rallycross, when he decides to stop rallying.

You mercenary Mark

You're quite welcome to stay in the SBRx team, but funds are tight this year, so you may have to take a cut in wages

So selling yopurself to the highest bidder may not be a bad idea.

They only just let me in, the lady was giving me funny looks!

Wages!!

Mr Ridge we need to be having words

C'mon David, offer him double, you know you can afford it, but if things are that bad, then i'll take a pay cut to help compensate his wages........i know i know, i'm far too kind for my own good.....!

Presumably not in a RX car like the one of Edwin G., but possibly Jos K. grudges you that surprise by really selling his latest Focus after the next ERC double…?

M.Lowe · 27 Jul 2007, 21:32 (Ref:1974992)

Ok David one cuppa and a burger less is ok, I can live with that lol

The Eye · 28 Jul 2007, 00:04 (Ref:1975074)

I'll hazard a guess. An Irishman looking at a current ERC car? Maybe Eugene O'Donnelly is looking at Larrson's Fabia

[/quote]

Well i don't know who Eugene O'Donnely is and maybe he has his sights on one of the Larsson's Skoda Fabia.
But I do know that Jani Paasonen has showed some interest to buy one of Lasse Larsson's Car's.

Are you as surprised as I am rx-guru? Jos spend 2 years building the car. And now it is up for sale? I think it is sad! Jos was one of a few European drivers that can mess things up for the Scandinavians!

No, I’m actually not surprised. Jos’ business is to buy and to sell cars. No matter if road going or track going cars. And I think he fancies a break from motor sport right now, as his wife Thea possibly does. But if he scores good results in the Belgian and Dutch ERC round it all can change again. With "The Red" one never knows what happens next.

I think he'll do really well in that one... Better than his current car, altough I seems to get updates...

That would be a shame as there will be no one with the financial back up to become the new Dutch Division 1 hero...

Minicross424 · 16 Aug 2007, 17:11 (Ref:1990308)

I have have some news that the car may be heading to the south east of england...........

ebby · 16 Aug 2007, 17:33 (Ref:1990321)

For Lydden?

Matti Alamaki · 16 Aug 2007, 17:37 (Ref:1990327)

I thought struck me recently as to who else might be interersted in such a car?

What about Helmut Holfeld?

chunder · 16 Aug 2007, 18:04 (Ref:1990350)

This is still damn well dragging on isnt it, are those in the know gonna hold on for ever!!

I know now who is buying the car and it really isnt that interesting!!

HrRACING · 16 Aug 2007, 21:53 (Ref:1990496)

Lol, we agree then Chris.

I too know, have been told by the horse himself, as it were. And no, its not really a supprise.

Rallycrossfreak · 17 Aug 2007, 06:05 (Ref:1990672)

chunder · 17 Aug 2007, 13:11 (Ref:1990946)

Tracey bought everyones car so he can try them all and find one that might get him into a final one day!!

Its from all those little pots of gold

So come on guys, who's bought what then?

zac510 · 17 Aug 2007, 13:58 (Ref:1990972)

I was looking at Kuypers's car in Belgium last weekend and it's a nice looking machine. Definitely one of the better prepared cars in the ERC field!

PhergAthor · 17 Aug 2007, 15:43 (Ref:1991017)

BTW, it's going to be speculation from now on for many cars...

Ericksson's Fiesta is officially up for sale and the drivers intrested come from: Ireland, Portugal, two Norwegians, a British and a Swedish driver.

So if I reveal the names of this thread, you can start over for this car

Minicross424 · 17 Aug 2007, 16:20 (Ref:1991034)

All im willing to say is that a visit was made to belguim last weekend, an offer was made and now we await a reply

It's already on ERC24, so you can say that Proctor has a deal for the Xsara for next season. Interesting to read that he will use the Puma in the UK and do some ERC races with the Xsara.
