The brands identity and spirit never falls off from season to season yet just gets stronger and stronger the more pieces, designs and attitude is thrown into the cultural world….

Ken Block went across “The Pond” for a launch of the video game Dirt 2

Looks like some video gamers turned into some of the most serious screamers riding shotgun EVER!!!!
Seriously these “tough guys and gals” turned into some screamers!!!!
Just watch!!!

Happy Friday and here’s some automotive fun for the weekend!

Was just sent these images and link to Ken Block and Chris Atkinson having a blast in his vintage rally car….

Ken, keep doing what you’re doing, just invite me next time not to drive, I’ll just MC your driving!!!
I’m not gonna front that I’m a driver/pilot!

This is what Ken had to say
“I am racing my new “vintage” rally car this weekend in Canada….so, DC posted a fun little video clip of my first test of the car. WRC driver Chris Atkinson was in town and we had a great time thrashing it about at Tim O’Neal’s rally school. It was really a great time…and I think this video really gets that feel across.
More info on DC Shoes and the Auto program click HERE….

Block will enter select races each year with this car, including Rally Defi in Canada this coming weekend, September 11-12. Block returns to serious Rally America National Championship competition—in a Subaru Impreza WRX STI—at Rally Colorado, September 19-20.

So it’s football season!!!!
Steph, PJ and I it the our local high school game for the heck of it…

I flew up to Montreal for the final round ofDrift Mania Canadian Championship yet it wasn’t as I thought!!
NWA sucks!!!!
I was supposed to go from Phoenix to Detroit then to Montreal arriving at 8pm…
Yet NWA was late 40 minutes landed as I was supposed to board my other flight ran through the HUGE Detroit airport greeted by closed doors and plane still sitting there!!!
Sucks!!!
So was shut down going to MTL on that flight…
Eventually caught a flight to Toronto, then to Montreal arriving at 1AM, yes sucky!!!!

This woman helped me get there and gave me some food/beer vouchers…
I gave her stickers!!!!

Uncreative name for the Irish pub in the airport with Guiness all over was called “The Irish Pub”, seriously?

Finally?
Nope just Toronto…
