Ken Block Drifts London

Apologies if this has already been posted; I did search.
I really liked this episode. It was a little more whimsical than most. I'm guessing it would have taken longer than a weekend to get organised.

I do that around London all the time. The difference is he does it on purpose.

Still sucks...


lol Actually, I thought this was one of the better videos. I still think he's massively overyhyped as a driver, but I kind of liked this video. It just gets so boring watching him do donuts around 30 objects in 8 minutes like most of the videos he does.

This was different, and much better overall, in my opinion.

Also, you don't see 50 skid marks from all the previous takes and shots in this video like you do the other ones. That makes it way cooler to me.

You know I can't say I ever consciously noticed the marks in the other videos but there was always a nagging feeling in the back of my head that something was wrong. After reading this I went back and watched one. Sure enough that was probably what was bugging me and I just never clued in.
