I spot few mistakes and I liked bug getting squashed to camera :D

I had some discussions with Ari few years ago, when he was in politics, shame that it did not worked out for him so well, he had some similar thoughts what I have had.

He has now this kind of web page:
http://www.arivatanenrally.com/

Worth to read, he tells about some other cars too:

That is epic. Saw it on grainy old fashioned YouTube but it looks a million times more impressive in remastered form.
Cheers Chris.

And cheers Jtbo for the links. Interesting.

Some of you have probably driven the roads and know better how insane that is :lol:

Amazing vids dude. Thanks.

And it wasnt just a Manta. It was A Manta 400. Which is very very different.

It was well over a week ago, but have been waiting for Red Bull to bring out some decent footage, the live stuff was awful (but watch if you havn't seen it for comic commentating). For those who have been living in a black hole, the Pikes Peak Hill Climb record got slightly beaten.

Red Bull have released good footage now though, see below.

Nothing like as stylish as Climb Dance mind...
