    As kick-to-the-jaw awesome as the Group B beasts were, the rear-drive machinery that preceded them (Escort RS, Ascona 400, 131 Abarth, Sunbeam Lotus, et al) were just as rad, IMO. #kenblock

    i would like to say that the reason my fore-arms are so well developed is from twisting a steering wheel around while flying through a dirt track rally course. that is all. #kenblock

    This is great.
    For the past years (I'm thinking 1997-2008), the so-called "money years", the emphasis culturally in our world has been on money, bling, luxury and other superficial marketing-based crap; this translated "automotively" in super expensive flashy customs and racing trends such as "drifting" and all that other fast n furious inspired crap.
    Now that we're all broke, those values aren't so dominant anymore and I hope that people will gravitate towards more authentic stuff such as grassroots racing and maybe rally racing.

    Jalopnik has always more or less understood that, but videos like this one might convince the wider public.
    So +1 mr Block #kenblock

    Psst...Block and Atkinson have been reported to be the drivers for the new Monster Energy Drink WRC team for the upcoming WRC season. Scuttlebutt says they'll be driving select events in an '09 Focus WRC before going to the WRC Spec Fiesta and a full calender the following year. If true, than that makes this "team building"....and a whole lot of fun. #kenblock

    What Diddles left out was the fact that everyone forded rivers except Pastrana. He paid a hippie river guide to take him across. It's the only logical explanation for a 1 minute lead.

    an 80 MPH flat tire did him in and left Block with a fractured control arm


    Did his whole family then die of dysentery?

    If you get chained to a tree, you know, so it won't be cut down, say hi to Marc for me.

    Let's see if this will work. I suspect it won't.


    Our Promenading Performer has been playing Oregon Trail for the last few days, using Jalopnik screen names as the names of people in his party. So I ended up with a photo on my facebook of a Oregon Trail screen-cap, reading, "DEARTHAIR has a fever", followed by "DEARTHAIR has died."
