Bill Caswell entered the WRC round in Mexico with a BMW that he bought for $500 off Craigslist!

He was interviewed on NPR this afternoon and was very funny! Which one of us wouldn't have had a crack at this if we could? Guys, he's one of us!!!

Here's a clip from one of his e-mail updates: "Oh yeah. Parc ferme — they lock your car up and you can't work on it at night. But you can pull it out for a 45-minute service. So before the final time control, I climbed under the car and undid the motor mount arm with the awesome little factory tool kit in the trunk. So then I could fab up the new part at my convenience and then pull the car out of parc ferme just to swap arms. It worked great. We now have a steel arm and factory mount. Gas tank still patched with RTV and duct tape. Wasn't time to drain tank and JB Weld it. Hopefully it stays on today.
By the way. It's awesome to be rocking a BMW down here and smoke the little WRC Peugeot cup cars in a chassis that hasn't been pro rally racing since the Prodrive E30 M3 era."
 
His blog was posted somewhere,maybe here. Pretty cool
