Not quite sure what muesli has to do with it? Ho you mean mussels as in seafood. But we know what you mean.Muscles. lol.and the wonders of google not spelling checker!

Well they would have run into problems as all now on WRC cars have to use Mac failure struts mind from legs are Macpherson of a type but think the head honcho's would have prohibited some how and no multi link which was why Mitsubishi dropped out as went from GRP A to WRC they couldn't get the suspension to work any more and we all know how dominant they was the years before with Tommi have a good story from a guy that went over to Belgium to buy an EVO as if you want one they take you over there to the motor sport department run by Andy Cowan.

Those older days was great as you could more or less run to what you could afford and get by where as now you need a full military style operation with atleast a ten digit bank role.
Ten years ago was at a place that had Petter Solbergs Subaru on display minus engine and i think g'box and had to get insurance cover for 1/2 a million plus for that mind a Ohlins rear shock with remote reservoir comes to 5grand +odd
