2013 Dakar Pre-Event Discussion

[D.T.]

Damn, D is just around the corner!

Seems like the F5 button is starting to cool off a bit.

[ThomasVolomitz]

Only an American like Robby can showboat like that. Reminds me of the guys in the NFL that dance and jump around just for a basic tackle.

But I like it and it brings even more intrigue to the race.

I think I've said it every Dakar since I joined the F5 Team (Jonah and Casey time frame): I prefer the Rumble of a 'Murican V8 over the Bbbrrrrrrraaaaaaaapppppppp of a Euro Turbo Diesel any time.... Sure RG showboats a little bit, but c'mon, he's as 'Murican as Speed Energy!!!!

Go Robby, GO!

RG's show boating while a little to much for the pinkey out dakar people.

Fucks with his competitors heads and that's a good step towards winning.

And the masses love it/him and the Hummer, so whether you personally love him or hate him, it can only be good for the profile of the event

[tHEtREV]

I agree completely.

I don't like him and his attitude and I hope he gets his ass kicked from one end of South America to the other, but I am glad to hear he is back.

Oh and I agree on the sound of the V8s, I have had trophy truck clips running in the back ground all the time just to hear there sound.

While not spectacular, IIRC it was having to give up pieces of his Touareg to this teammate:


That got RG seriously considering running his own team. Yep, he just didn't fit the Water Carrier mold.

Come to think of it, it was kind of spectacular how Jutta waved him over and then proceeded to strip his car of parts....

Funny how rg propagates US V EUROPE but any time anyone tries that with Mexico,it's not on.

Any if you guys ever hear ttv8 diesel? Way better than petrol.

No kidding. I almost killed a couple of hundred people on my way to work yesterday, but luckily missed every single one of them. I did it again today!
