Iron Pony Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Great find Red, some observations about the video... 1. This is definitely the guy I want driving the getaway car when I start robbing banks. 2. More graceful then ballet, figure skating or any gymnastics floor routine I've ever seen. 3. Gotta make sure to keep them side windows clean when you do half your driving looking out them instead of the windshield. 4. The episode of UK Top Gear he appeared on was CLASSIC! James May looked like he was going wet himself during the entire ride and the portion where Block was doing the donuts made May look like he had the worst case of nystagmus I've ever seen. 5. And lastly, that was a Subaru? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Yeah, I can do that. In my DREAMS! We've known about Ken Block for awhile around our place. He made my oldest daughter want a Subaru WRX.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never miss an episode of Top Gear. Except for the new American version, which is boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I hope he has a good tire sponsor. Kinda looks like SR 520 on a Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made my oldest daughter want a Subaru WRX.... TAKE A CLOSER LOOK, FORD EMBLEM ON REAR OF CAR AND ON DASH. DON'T THINK THEY HAVE THEM ON A SUBARU. MY YOUNGEST SON HAS A SUBARU WRX, LET ME DRIVE IT ONCE, UNDER CLOSE SUPERVISION. FUN CAR, BEAT THE HECK OUT THE 1977 AND 1980 SUBARU'S I OWED.

You are right, that car is a Ford Fiesta, however, for your viewing pleasure, a couple of earlier efforts in a Subie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDi0MZJZ-w0&feature=related I hope embedding isn't a problem, it did it automatically.

Clay Mosby Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Was it my imagination or poor sound quality, but it sounded like he spent 75% of the video beating the heck out of the rev limiter chip!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Pony Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Guess I was wrong about it being a Subaru, assumed it was as thats what I've always seen him driving in previous videos. Maybe next time they will set up a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Of course I could do that. As long as it is treated like cowboy shooting and let me finish when I get done. I bet I could do that in oh, let's say, 45 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
