WEEEEEEEEEE! That looks like fun! I wish you could see his speedo and tach.
After about 5 minutes, I started to understand what the "co-driver" was saying and it made it even more intriguing.

My personal favorites are
1)Carlos Sainz's Focus roll in Australian or NZ. He was reaching for the ignition before the windshield was finished shattering and he was driving again in 5 seconds. Talk about single-mindedness.
2)That little clip of Mills reaching over to tighten the loose steering wheel with a ratchet while Solberg keeps racing along.
3) Gronholm's Italy 2006 crash where he dragged what was left of his car to the service and still finished third (entire suspension, doors, hood, windshield, steering replaced in 20 minutes)
4) Gronholm in his old 206 when a rear driveshaft broke. The first stage he dropped from 4WD to 3WD, then the rear diff broke and he had 2WD, and then the center diff gave up and he retired. Nice try though!
5) Markko Martin's drive to victory with the hood open.
6) Phil Mill's response when asked how it's going, "Well, the turbo's gone, the clutch is slipping and we have three flat tires. Its' one of those days." (while Solberg bangs dust out of the air filter)
I forgot to add Loeb's dragging of his car back to service in a recent rally. They actually caught the rear left wheel falling off the car on a highway on camera, followed by some brake and suspension bits and something that looked like a sway bar. The other rear tire was already gone too, so he was literally dragging the car's *** back to the service. LOL
