I would appreciate it is it was something amazing, awesome or even different.... maybe a particular skill, or a modified/ home built vehicle....

To me all this is someone who has too much money with a couple of go-pros and way too much time on his hands.

The car is an Enzo..... Do a google search- you can see a million videos of one being put through its paces by millionaires without a clue to race drivers on tracks.

The driving...... Go down to your local Maccy D's on a Friday/ Saturday night- you will see exactly the same driving but preformed by a bunch of 18 year olds in sooped up Jap-cr@p worth about £5,000.

The videoing...... Nothing amazing- A forum member on here (can't remember user name) does much better jobs.

Do a quick google search for Enzo rental in the UK- prices are just short of £10,000 for a single day. Add all his videos together and you could buy a brand new Defender 110XS. I love watching videos of people doing tricks in cars/ plant machinery or on bikes but this was just a no-brainer. He could have spent the rental money on a profesional film crew and just used a tractor and it would be more entertaining.

What I was getting to with the name is as you say- he isn't claining to be a rally driver or taking the Enzo on a rally track or even anything to do with rally in any way shape or form....... so why use the word WRC?.....

Do people really spend £10,000 to rent a car for a day? That's a house extension Thud Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

Surely the whole point of the video is that it's an Enzo? Yes, you can probably see better/more spectacular/dafter driving of a Subaru, Corsa or any number of more mundane cars, but that's just ordinary. However, most supercars are either seen crawling through Knightsbridge or, if the owner is more adventurous, stretching their legs on a track day, so to see an Enzo thrashed along a farm track pretty unusual.

Picking holes in whether he's a good driver, how well it's been filmed or even if he has more money than sense is completely missing the point, IMHO. Darren

Should it prove to be Mr Hunt (or more likely his son) of Hevingham Estate, Suffolk; then I'd imagine the sale of the London estate agents Foxtons for a reported £370million will be of some consolation! "Ease your worries, Clear-up your woes,

Glyn, I hope I never have to meet you. You sound like the most boring man on earth, you've completely missed the point of this video. And by the length and boringness of your replys (I had to stop reading the last one half way through due to a fear of wasting my life away) I think you have too much time on your hands. It is good driving, it is someone with a lot of money having a lot of fun. That is all. It's fun to watch and then forget about. You must be a boring, sad person if you can't see the fun element of any millionaire ragging about in a Ferrari. Either poor or good driving/ race track or farm yard. They have made their money, they are enjoying it how they want to. Good on them.

It's not a rental car the bloke owns it. But if it was a rental car then good for him, if I was rich enough to spend £10K on a car for one day, I would do what ever the hell I wanted to do, and that's why the video is good, he's having fun. I suggest you have fun one day, you never know, you might enjoy it.

As for naming the video 'WRC':
WHO CARES?? Bigger stuff going on in the world. You have a picture of a adult cartoon character who is a pervert.. Does that mean that's what you want to be/look like??? Thumbs Up

Chill guys - we all have our opinions and like to voice them.

For example, I respect that some people get a thrill from bungee jumping, even though I'd rather get the same effect by downing half a bottle of scotch and sticking my fingers down my throat. Then again, some people don't like scotch...bizarre Rolling Eyes

*Edit* I do, however, like watching bungee jumping - to experience terror through someone else's eyes is rather stimulating Twisted Evil Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

If finding that video boring.... makes me boring.... so be it. I only watched it because it said WRC.... and I was disappointed so voiced my views on the false advertising.

I at no point have I called him names, said anything offensive or even insinuated anything offensive. I have a picture of a cartoon character..... which I am yet to find anyone offended by..... doesn't mean I want to be him.... even though being a pilot would be pretty cool.

Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter I love when someone whose every other word is a swear word accuses someone else of being backwards/ red-neck/ hick.
