I love you Mr. Eccentric-Military-Probably-Gun-Wielding-Nut-Guy. You made my day. Now can I try the 50 cal., pretty please?

@JCay: Admitted a Chevrolet Spark wouldn't work quite as well in that picture as a 458. But you know what? A 300SL Flügeltüren would look better. :-)

I don't get why people are hating on the pole, organisers, and apparently the Belgians(?). The pole is just another hazard on the stage. It might as well have a tree. The job of the driver and co-driver is not to hit stuff. They (presumably) had time to do pace notes before the stage. It's not like the pole magically…

@ausflogan: No American bases in mainland Denmark. You had one on Greenland which is part of 'The Kingdom of Denmark'

@TSJ: Ugh, I hate pictures. Here: [www.fordmotorsport-linderum.dk]

Nice piece of hardware, no doubt about it. However, very few will be able to pay for it. Give me a van (z.b Transit, Sprinter) and an autotrailer. they are often the backbone of small racing teams.

@BullittFan_Fords4Life: Yeah, and it is a Ford which just makes it even more awesome. I love the whole Ford vs. Holden-thing they have going on downunder.

Honestly, I think it looks really good. It will never be Clarkson & Co., but it seems like a decent car show. I would watch it, if I could...

I am so looking forward to this. Just hearing the voices of James Hunt ans especially Murray Walker sends chills down my spine.

@Francostine: I approve of this tag.

Sweet mother of all that is holy! I love it. I hate trucks, but for some reason I love this. I can't figure out why.

@HideyoshiJP: I like it. I'm partial to their "Faithful" commercials.

@TSJ: Damn those Internet leprechauns that are screwing with my pictures.

@TSJ:

I humbly nominate the 1998 mk. I Ford Focus (Europe/International). With its multi-link suspension and crisp handling it redefined what a small, family-friendly car should be like, and it is affordable to boot. Beside being a great driver's car, it also looked awesome compared to anything else in the market at that…

@Eggwich McSpencer: I spent this summer driving around LA and SF a bit and you are right. San Francisco isn't a bad town to drive in if you just let it take the time it takes. (LA is much worse)

So sad. My thoughts go to the Lenz family.

@Pessimippopotamus: They did go all in on glitz and glamour around the eyes didn't they?

@Tom.Cruise.Is.Weird: Haha, awesome.

@skitter: Thanks.
