hahahaha, Block is the man!

Good on his sponsors supporting such antics. Gees, he kissed the wall pretty hard early on in the piece.

That Focus must be a bullet proof SOB, a day in the hands of Mr Block would like 100000000km of driving by joe average!

Thanks very much for posting the link mate.

Some great Link's here fella's, good way to pass the arvo.
I can't believe some of the comment's made about this Bloke, I don't even know of him but saying that he is a nobody, and can't drive etc, I don't care if he is not as good as other's in WRC, to have car control like that is just pure skill and talent.
