Brilliant. And what a great couple.

I'd hate to be on the receiving end of an Italian arm gesture though...

Bastard!

In a similar vein, here's me driving an Aston Martin Vantage N24 at Bedford autodrome.
Did some warm up laps in a Vauxhaul VX220 first only the instructor took me round as a passenger before letting me behind the wheel. Now, I'm fine when I'm driving myself but I'm a crap passenger.....was terrified of throwing up in the car the whole time! :ack2:

Doh ! OK not the coolest but this one illustrates what you guys with rack and pinion steering are missing :confused: particularly in a car that isn't quite set up right , fast forward to 5 mins if you just want the accident , right in front of the pits:( how embarrasing.

Hi guys :seeya:

Haven't been around for a while and I'm hating missing the monday meets at the ace, but vid wise for me it has to be:

Always love my rallying but this i sjust the next level - so fast and so close to edge above ravines etc.

Hey K - it has indeed been a while!

Superb film there - haven't seen that one before. So refreshing to watch unspoilt by music. That's going in my favourites.

Some of those race day instructors int'alf a bit bloody boring & monotonous.

It's one thing to be good at your job, but crikey, these boys sound like they collect matchboxes in their spare time.

Bit Unoriginal and a bit of a thread bump but

Not exactly a driving video but funny. The buggy was buily by Mark aka Dreamshack who is pimping my Baja for the Oz rally. The roof is from his hotrod and was made to fit the buggy when it rained last week.

The hysterical lady trapped inside is his wife, they were in Tesco's car park so attracted quite a lot of attention!

Can't believe nobody has posted any of the Ken Block Gymnkhana vids on this thread yet - some awesome displays of driving. Even if they are a bit "commercial" ;)

As an aside, I didn't realise this kind of stuff had a name, I thought it was just drifting round roundabouts, supermarket car parks and industrial estates tbh :D

Want that playground though. Lots.
