Time to believe in Meeke
Some think Kris Meeke can revive Britain's rallying fortunes. Some think he just crashes too much. His Citroen WRC chance means we'll find out in 2014, and DAVID EVANS has faith
There are two conversations going on down the pub as I type. Actually, there are probably more than just two. But there are two that interest me right now.
The first one goes something like this.
Carling: "So, Meeke, eh..."
Flowers: "I know, unbelievable. All he's ever done is crash. What a waste of a great car."
Another conversation. Another boozer.
Pride: "So, Meeke, eh..."
Stella: "I know. Fantastic news. Just what British rallying needs."
Which chat was yours? Let's not be bashful here, there are those who completely, 100 per cent don't see the point of Kris Meeke competing at the sharp end of the World Rally Championship. And those people are absolutely welcome to hold that worthy opinion.
