Any of you guys watch the Dakar Rally coverage on Speed?  For me I guess,
the Dakar rally kicks off the racing year.  Even though there's what, 17
days of it, I wish there was more coverage I guess.

I was going to bring that up.

To me, the Speed coverage was pathetic compared to last year.

And what's with the love-fest with Motorcycles?  It seems like 2/3 of each
show were on the Motorcycles, with little given to the cars, and almost NONE
given to my favorite part, the Trucks.

I watched every one of them.  Tivo to the rescue :)

Anyone know what the name of the Dakar Theme Song is?  Lyrics (converted, of
course) ?

Tivo saved the day for me as well. I missed the Euro stages though.
Everything looked a little "cheaper" to me this year, can't really
pinpoint the a reason though. It just seemed less spectacular.
I thought C. Mcrae would do better.
This year's blue Toureag is butt-ugly compared to last year's svelte
red model.

ok, ep

Yeah :)

I can't understand a word of it, but it's damned catchy :)  I especially
like the minor-chord impact they implemented.

It's like Outkasts "Hey Ya".  Overall it's a silly song, but you just can't
help bobbin' yer head :)

I ordered the cd from Amazon UK.  The estimated arrival date is the end of
February, hehe.  I have doubts it will ever arrive, but oh well.
