that was some bad a$$ driving.
I like the way he pitched it sideways to go around the "house" and the u-turn around the cone.

That didn't smell so good. Amazing he was able to make an entire run on only one set of tires.

I can guarantee you that the film was not done in "one take" or on one set of tires.

That's pretty sweet....
While not as exciting, there's a nice video on youtube of a Gymkhana shot in 1964. Jags, MGs, 356s, VWs a Mustang (lol), etc... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S27Nkns4Tew

Graham, that YouTube link is great! The funny thing is that large parking lot in South Bend is off McKinley Ave. on the city's north side and is largely still there with the exception of some freestanding restaurants. There's a Harbor Freight in that shopping area today as well. Great cars and video.
