On a serious note, that Fiesta looks nasty, I’m interested to see how Block does. Should be a good season to watch. ---

I don’t really know much about Ken Block other than those well rehearsed videos. Does he have any chance in hell at WRC? ---

very strange…they should have taken a different approach on design…The end of the subaru/ken block era should be the end of the black/white/green look. I guess with Monster on board there isn’t much choice though. ---
