In defense of pinchvalve, the original poster used a goofy title that wouldn't be easy to decipher that's what it was at first glance......

I think you both did a great job sharing. I clicked on both links and they worked great!

Another satisfied customer!!

And I was just being cheeky with my reply. No harm intended.

Watched it. Thought it was pretty lame, just doing doughnuts in various locations. Doesn't seem nearly as creative as previous versions...

Yeah, the background was pretty interesting, but the driving was a step backwards.

I'm assuming those wheels are vented in such a way to help cool those poor brakes, correct? Also, I couldn't help but wonder how many sets of tires he goes through in each of these. Does he stop to remount then pick back up at that same spot?

Nice easter egg at the end with the Focus RS RX

I agree. It felt routine. The coolest part was at the beginning when he plowed through the sand.

You sound a lot like the coaches that hand out participation trophies at little league.

Well, after my dog died and I lost my job and my health is in decline, reposting Ken Block was the last straw. Thanks for putting the final nail in my coffin Toyman, good bye cruel world!

Huh, still alive. I guess watching Downton Abbey isn't an option for suicide. And as an added bonus, I have a new series to binge watch! What WILL that Lady Mary Crawley do next?!?!?

In reply to CobraSpdRH:

Yes. If you watch closely in gymkhana vids you'll see lots of tire marks from either practice runs or retakes. There's no way those tires could take that abuse that long and for that many retakes.

I think in the first one (with the Subaru) there was a tally in the beginning of how many sets of tires were used. It was in the double digits.
