For those interested... here is the Trail Of The GNU TSD Rally, as seen from our 1970 Volvo 144S.

As usual, this years Trail Of The GNU Rally in Rocky Mountain House Alberta was one of the best TSD rally's that we enter into each year. This year had allot of gravel and mud, but also a ton of glare ice to make things REALLY tricky. A very fun and challenging event, with loads of good poeple and great drivers. With time declarations at a minimum, the scores added up quickly and at the end of the day anything was possible. 

In the end the winners were Taisto Heinonen from BC and Leanne Tunnila from AB in their 2001 Audi TT. Together Jack Bensley and Ryan Oliver managed a 2nd place in our 1970 Volvo 144.

Thank you to all the organizers and volunteers, you guys make the 12 hour trip worth while! Keep up the great work!

I just watched the new Gymkhana 4 and I thought the opening credits were awesome!

Unfortunately the rest fell flat on it's face. Don't get me wrong, the guy is awesome and does what few can.
But Ken Block is my icon and hero and he has set the bar really high.

In Gymkhana Four he does nothing new and nothing all that risky or challenging compared to previous Gymkhana's.
Fancy cameras, props and special effects have nothing on raw talent.
Less time working on the fluff and more time on the stunts!

Just one guys option...
