Ken Block's Gymkhana THREE, Part 2; Ultimate Playground; l'Autodrome, France (the coolest thrashing of a Ford Fiesta ever)

To get to the action the fastest, skip the first 50 seconds, though I recommend reading it.

Pirelli is a major sponsor for Ken, and they had this video on loop above the Pirelli area, that is how I found out about it.

It takes about 8 minutes for this video to load, so you may want to key it up and go grab something to eat or drink while it loads up. ENJOY!

the half done Falcon from Fins customs and classics, the best display of what can be done when restoring and upgrading an old car

The car took about 2 months to complete, Fins did the body, paint and detail. The interior was done at Prime time in Turlock and the audio system was done at liquid trends in Modesto.

Believe me that looking at side by side before and after will never be easier to judge the quality work of a comapny

How they carefully pulled this off is a mystery, I didn't find a company rep by the car

I can't find a website for Fins, but they are in Turlock California, and I can verify they do really good work!

The Derelict DeSoto of Jonathan Ward, DeSoto front on a '52 Chrysler Town and Country custom wagon. Hot Rod Magazine cover car Mar 2011

Exterior is rat rod, genuine aged US steel and paint.

The engine is a new Hemi, and has vintage 392 era valve covers covering the new stuff. Sweet touch!

The lug nuts appear to be 1/2 inch or 9/16ths sockets... cool idea I've never seen anyone realize before.

Awesome interior

Rafik Kaissi (RK Concepts) has created a bike that blew my mind by the innovative concept of welding industrial chain for the backbone

at the middle of the steering, are these words
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference"

Placed 10th in the international World Championship in 2009 at Sturgis, http://www.amdchampionship.com/content.php?page=registry§ion=viewbike&event=2009world&bikenumber=027

That copper antique fire extinguisher is the fuel tank... a photo at the end of this gallery shows what I'm talking about

That seat is mounted to a piece of leaf spring... looped over one link, and under the one in front of it, in a half hook shape that allows it to be moved to different links to allow for riders of different length legs or arms. Genius!

The front suspension is a half leaf spring, and it is clamped with 3 U bolts, and this allows for longer front forks by sliding the leaf spring out equally on both sides of the front fork. Genius!

Holding the headlight assemble together with small bicycle size chain, really cool thematic continuation

A little difficult to see on this below photo is the brake fluid resevoir that is the top part of a grenade

Easier to see the grenade top in the below photo

In the above photo the small chain can be seen on both ends of the shifter and the end of the exhaust pipe

Notice a tiny piston used as a brake light
