    I appreciate Ken Block's amazing skill but am I the only one who finds those Gymkhana videos over produced and boring?

    There's an awful feel of 'multiple takes then use the best one' about those videos. He's an amazing driver, as long as it's a controlled environment, I think the WRC showed him up a lot, once loads of variables were thrown into the mix he wasn't nearly as consistent.

    Not that I would be even a fraction as good mind! I wonder why he just doesn't compete in track racing, rallycross or drifting, I think track racing in particular would suit him.

    As for that car, it may have been 65 Mustang once upon a time, but that's like calling a Nascar a Chevy Camero...

    I think all the skidmarks give away the number of takes but still well produced, but i'd imagine he is mostly bark and no bite, but good for a yank. That car though, reminds me of Eleanor(i think that was the nod rather than t2) but takin testosterone;)!!

    It's a perfectly good mustang destroyed in my opinion and normally i wouldn't care about American cars at all.

    The yanks seem to like to take old cars, rip out everything that's old and original about them, in fact get rip out everything except some of the body shell and build up a completely new car out of it. The cover in garish paint and drive the sh*t out of it.
    It's wholesale destruction of classic cars, almost as bad as banger racing for real classic car enthusiasts.
    The problem with doing that to old cars is, they don't make them anymore, so every classic destroyed is lost forever. And one day there'll be nothing original left, all destroyed by "enthusiasts".
    Worst offender: drifting. If you want to get any of those cars popular for drifting today, there won't be any. All wrecked.

    Though in this video I'd say they just found a bodyshell and built it up, probably never was a car.
    LOL for the white Bronco,

    Brilliant, thats some ingenuity. I wonder how far he gets on a load of wood....

    One of the follow up videos that youtube has in tiles at the end of that was this one. Some flipping sound .... and a great way to get 100 miles out of the rear tyres :P

    Apparently 3 KG of wood = 1 L of petrol.

    I want two possible endings. Cyclist with a busted lip or some chancer hopping on his bike and racing off.
    Not a regular cyclist I would guess. Too fat.

    Expect the unexpected! I hope the guy in front has seat covers, or he may have brown seats.

    Looks like it got kicked off by a catseye or something. It's a really peculiar one.
