It might seem like we're a bit obsessed with Ken ‘Gymkhana' Block here at TopGear.com.
But we're not. It's just that he keeps doing insanely cool things that we keep finding it necessary to tell you about.
Like turning a Subaru Impreza STI into the world's fastest snow cat. See? We'd be frankly irresponsible if we didn't report that.
Ken's Scooby snow cat packs 400bhp and features four cat tracks in the place of wheels, making it pretty much the ultimate vehicle to hoon around Utah's wintry backcountry in search of, like, powder stashes and pillow lines and that kind of stuff.
"The TRAX STI combines two of my favourite things in life: driving a rally car in the snow and snowboarding in the backcountry," says Block.
He leads a tough life, our Ken. Oversteering snow cats, oversteering rally cars, scaring the bejesus out of James May - how's he going to find time to take on Seb Loeb in the WRC next year?
Just for the record: not obsessed. Oh no...

I like a good Evo vs Subie debate, but I don't see my Evo doing This.

Okay, so this is the guy who is aiming to be one of the few Americans ever to compete in the WRC (albeit in a private team)... I suspect that the biggest problem he faces will be taking him seriously as a competitor if he keeps on doing daft stunts like this.

I'm getting sick of Ken Block. A 10-minute segment on a programme watched by over 8 million people in Britain was sufficient -- we all saw it; we don't need to see a diary of his YouTube escapades at least once a week on here as well.

Rusty - if they're going to keep showing the exploits of some bored millionaire stunt enthusiast, why not broadcast half of the crap Richard Branson gets up to? It's on YouTube for us to see -- if we wanted to see it, we'd go there. We know Ken Block well enough now to know where he broadcasts his videos. Stick to car news or better yet, have a Ken Block section.
