Anyone that mentions Ari Vatanen is alright with me. The best rally driver of all time. No future driver will ever be as good either since Group B is now outlawed. I still can't get over the fact that he got into politics. No man or woman (Michele Mouton) could drive an Audi Quattro like him.

Ice racing is pretty much all sideways. What the drivers in the video were doing was nothing extraordinary. Its just the nature of the sport.

Escort RS baby!

There are a few in the states, imported legally, but sell for well over $15k! They're like the Renault R5 Turbos in terms of cult status, but I think the Escort is more since they are 10x rare (I've seen 3 R5's, and one even for sale for $18k not too long ago).

Wacky European cars... I want an R5 so much...!
