There was a story in Evo magazine (I think it was Evo anyway) about a show he did at Battersy power station alongside his fellow Ford driver (forget the name). Apparently Block struggled with his WRC car to get it drifting and get around the course they had, practicing for ages and looking pretty bad. His fellow Ford rally driver on the other hand rocked up, slung it sideways and made a pretty good show of it with bugger all practice.

Block is only in WRC because he can afford it and the publicity of his name (and Gymkhana vids for those of us who cant stand stupidly sized caps) that gives the right image that Ford want, not for his (lack of) driving talent. Fair do's hes probably an alright driver and would show me the way around a race track all day and night but he just isnt world class  :embarassed:.

Who cares if hes not the best driver in Rallying, hes no longer a person, hes a label.. And it works.. People love him, they thrive off him.. Lets not forget he was a co-founder of DC shoes also.. This guy is no mug, he enjoys himself and lives life to the full...

I love his videos and I love Rob Dydrek.. They live life how it should be!!

Many thanks for making I laff.  :cool:
