Ken Block has a bit of fun on the streets of San Francisco.
Gotta love the Gymkhana series! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuDN2bCIyus What's your favourite Gymkhana moment from the videos he's done so far.

A bit like the chase scene out of Bullit, but with a 650hp AWD Fiesta that goes 0-60mph in 1.8 seconds. I want one
I still like the one on the banked track |

As cool as that vid is, its the logistics and the tolerance of the residents to what must have been a huge inconvenience to what I assume must have been an otherwise quite Sunday(s) morning, that really impresses me.

Anyway... great marketing.. you would think they would advertise a Sporty Fiesta at the end instead of the Focus ST??? Wonder what it took to pull Ken away from Subaru?? This clip reminds me of the famous "Rendezvous" video, but only with a few more camera angles and a little more publicity!
