Rally in Europe!!!

Here is some awesome performance driving that could never take place here in the states quit like it does in other parts of the world. Americans would shit themselves if this was ever allowed to happen anywhere near a town with more than 5 residents.

See if you can count how many cars we don't get here as well. I came up with MOST OF THEM!!!

More cars we've seen at auctions

These are some of the wrecks we've seen go through various insurance auctions. Some are worth a second look...







Auction bargains

Hey you guys up there in Milwaukee! here's one going through the Milwaukee Auction on 4/20. Looks like a cheap fixer;)

But seriously, if anybody is looking for Focus' Escorts or anything else and want to know when one is headed to a Manheim auction near you, post a comment and we can let you know how to get it.

IMSA back in the day.

This is cool. I especially like the race results page (lonely Ford surrounded by the dominating 935 "Slant-Nose" of the era).

South America's Offerings

So Brazil beat Germany last month as having the most visits to this blog. We've known for years that Central and South America got some cool stuff we never had the chance to get our hands on (Including, most recently the Focus RS and as far back as the Mk I Escort). I Googled "Fiesta Brazil" and this was what popped up.

It looks a lot like out Focus circa 2011 with a different face. What do you think?

The article said this is the 2011 model Fiesta. Anyway, thanks to our kin down south for stoppin' in.

It's nice to know Ford isn't just denying us the goods from across the Atlantic...

3 Doors or 5?

I know I keep harping on about this but I just keep seeing pics of the Fiesta 3 door and I keep getting a little pissed. It may not be a huge difference but it is lighter, more rigid and (with a shorter wheel base) more nimble than or only option, the 5 door. You tell me.


Granted the 5 door beat the 3 door at the latest round of the G.R.C. (as seen in the following video),

but as any good MotoCross rider will tell you "the hole shot is everything". Of course, being a two-time World Rally Champion helps too. I'm just saying, When the hell are we getting the 3 door. Even Tanner's car looks better

100 Acre Wood Rally revisited...

O.K. I know... We are still working on getting the footage of 100 Acre wood on the blog. We have resolved to got it on this weekend as we have been working on the S.D. website which is also way behind schedule. Thanks again for your patience.

here's a little teaser
