This had me shaking my head, with a grin from ear to ear. biggrin
Yes I know there's lots of cuts, but it's still impressive, and doesn't the car sound amaizing!

Mr. Block, if you're reading this, I'd like you to strap me in to that car as a passenger, so I can give you a few driving tips, as I can see your style is a bit rough around the edges. I mean, the way you clipped the grass at 5:28 seconds into the film there! rolleyes

If you'd like the benefit of my expertise, you can contact me through Pistonheads. biggrin

Cheers,
Mick.

It is a little old but worth a repost. I think its a great marketing ploy for the brands involved, but still hes a talented guy despite the cuts smile

I had a Ford Fiesta once. Wasn't as quick as that, must be a 2011 upgrade.

Surprised to see him using a 5 door Edge model, if he upgraded to a Zetec S or a Titanium he could have had a 1.6 engine instead of a 1.25 or 1.4. (And he'd have had cruise control then, which is handy on long journeys).

Whenever I see him drive, he always seems to be suffering with a lack of traction...

Oh Yes! Motorsport vacum here in Mallorca, and I don't spend a lot of time over on You Tube.

I think he needs to contact me though. He may learn a thing or too.
Young upstarts eh, think they know it all!

The plan was to clip the wall, its something you score points for in drifting.

Ironically, his "Ken Block 43" shoes by his company DC are no doubt horrific to drive in!

Well it's not big, and it's not clever! No wonder insurance premiums are so high. rolleyes
