I was wearing the last year&#8217;s Subaru t-shirt and most of the guards thought for some reason that I was with Subaru team.  They were encouraging me to join Subaru mechanics, asking questions, cheering and stuff like that.  I used such a friendly opportunity to make a whole bunch of pictures.  Drivers and co-drivers were out of the Service Park at some press conference or something like that, so no pictures of them.  But, instead, I&#8217;ve got plenty shots of mechanics, cars, team camps, flags, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Album location: <a href=\"\/photos\/2005\/2005-05_Cyprus_Rally\/2005-05-11_Preparations\/\">\/photos\/2005\/2005-05_Cyprus_Rally\/2005-05-11_Preparations\/<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>Cyprus Rally 2005 is about to start now.
