Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    or, "What I'd have done if I was Cillian Murphy in 28 Days Later".

    Ken plays with a 650bhp Fiesta around a deserted San Francisco.

    Not as entertaining as he used to be. Don't get me wrong he's still fantastic but stuff doing donuts around moving objects is getting a bit old.

    Only difference is that drivers are not professionals like Ken Block, and director and camera operator is also not professional.

    That was awesome. You could see they had several takes in some places with all the rubber marks, but still very impressive.

    Im sorry but that's hardly the "only" difference, apart from obvious differences there isn't much drifting in both those videos.

    Although they're not bad at all.
