Ya I saw that the other day. Freaking sweet vid.

I totally am going to try and go this year if I can to New England Forest Rally. I went last year, but had to leave the day before the event because of an emergency. It goes right through the town my brothers live in (Berlin, NH). And I mean right through. Like the roads they run around on. They just go blasting through these roads at like 85+ that have limits of like 25 at most.

For the past two years my brothers got to meet and hang out with Travis Pastrana AND Ken Block, among others. They got to spend most of the day in their trailers because Ken was thirsty or something and my youngest brother gave him his soda (unopened). They've got pictures of everything somewhere. I missed it, but they got me a wicked sick poster signed by both Travis and Ken.



Edit: Here's this years schedule. I am sooooooo going to try and go this year. Was supposed to go with the fiance to her families on these days but ohhh am I going to beggggggggggggggggggggggg

I just watched that episode the other day. FREAKING AWESOME. I can't wait until the next episode comes out. (and Doctor Who/Merlin. God I love the BBC.)

When is the next Top Gear special supposed to happen? Those are always the best. The Africa and Vietnam specials were AMAZING. I still watch those every other month or so.

I watched this episode last night. Not bad :D

I'm sure they've been posted before, but here's a link to Ken's other vids...

yea I've posted a few of his other vids here before :up:

Nightrain - I'd love to go hang out, but Berlin is a tad bit of a drive for me lol

[NightrainSrt4]

Hehe, oh ya it is. Living in Framingham puts it about 2 hours less than when I was on Cape, but it still is quite a drive. If I can't figure out the car issue by then I won't be able to go this year either. =(
