Photos online from the Citroen C4 Test today.
Kris Meeke was really impressive in it and was giving it a real good shakedown.

Excellent John. How did the Xsara compare to the C4 from your point of view?

God knows what time Kris started at but we were there from about 10.30 to 6 and he did a fair few runs.

It wasn't here as Ireland is not one of the countries where registered manufacturers are allowed test.

Sorry Ciara, Citroen are not a registered manufacturer in this years WRC so they can actually test where they want. And it certainly looks like Ireland from the photos.

Hey, doesn't really matter where the test was done. The main thing is that Meeke was doing it and the world can see he's a competent and capable driver.

I have always said this to my Army buddies we should have invaded the IOM years ago, its a fight we could win and then we could kick out the BRC.

Ha Ha just noticing Paul Hughes post on the new Mk2 is creating more interest than Meekes test in the C4.

It might be that while he is a good pilot and probably a good guy, he just does not grab the imagination of a lot of rally fans IMO. Where as the mk11 whether you are 94 or 24 just creates an interest.
