The real brilliance of this is all the colorful phrases he squeezes into his directions.

“It is flat. It’s flat. Go faster for me. 350 ALL THE WAY. Right hand flat. 250. Go brother.”

Perhaps a touch of Hulkster in there too, brother.

This is the kind of auction you go home with something you had no idea you were bidding on...

Just occurred to me that somebody should make an SNL-style parody video where a couple asks a rally co-driver for directions.

It took me the first minute and a half to stop laughing and hear the guy well enough to understand — at all — what he was saying. Gotta say though, once I got to that point, the enthusiam becomes very infectious. Once he starts barking to turn in early and keep the speed through the sweeping turns (brother), my right foot started getting antsy.

He says more in 10 minutes than I am known to talk in an entire week.

I enjoyed it. I showed it to the other petrol head in the office and he was chuckling. There was one part when they made a right hand turn early on and we aren’t sure what dude said was from any language on this earth.

Absolutely my favorite line in that sequence, even I didn’t want to let him down after that and I was only watching!

This is probably the greatest rally video I have ever seen. “Go brother, go!”
