    No multiple takes, scripts or overly-electronic diff w@nkery on an open airport ramp here. This is the real deal....



    *No offence intended against girls, blouses, big blouses or big girls. None of the aforementioned were hurt in the making of this video, except maybe Ken Block's ego :0

    I have some things to say about that.

    1. Post of the Year.

    2. Those Clios are on ****ing rails.

    3. That guys middle name is "Clio"

    4. Über technical.

    5. Me wants to go buy an old Clio, and go Track Day.

    A handful of the scenes with Jean in the Clio are sightly speeded up, which is a shame as it only serves to undermine his talent.
    The 405 T16 hill-climb is awesome, I love that video.

    Subject to correction the record for the Pikes Peak hillclimb appears to have been set in 2007 by a Suzuki! :eek:

    4wd, and close on 1000bhp. Crickey!

    only a god can make a FWD car be so fun! Respect to the driver, he got some balls!

    RWD is better from a motoring ballet point of view however :D

    Amazing how he makes the little Clio dance. The guy just makes 4WD / RWD seem redundant.

    Since we're doing drivers with mad rally skillz, I give you Ari Vatanen:

    I'd say the co-driver needed new underwear after that stage :pac:

    That little incident left him with a punctured front tyre. Didn't seem to bother him either. Here's a longer version of that clip

    That Ken block annoys me with the quite obviously edited videos to make him look really really good. Sure he isnt doing that well in actual rallies. The below video of of Walter Rohrl just look at his footwork. It almost makes cry!

    Impressive!

    I love that he'd fail his driving test instantly for doing that with his feet!

    He'd only fail because the tester would have just wet themselves before fainting :pac:

    Absolutely, Ari going full belt in an escort comepletely sideways defines rallying for me. The man was a legend. Check on the following clip - especially at 1.18. :D:D He often overstepped the mark and crashed out but thats what made him so spectacular. A bit like colin mcrae really
