WRC pays a little visit to the vinyards of Germany, circa 2007:

Engine sounds only, with some stunning camera work thrown in.

Nice video. On a side note, why does Abu Dhabi sponsor WRC cars? I know it is among the richest cities in the world and they have money to burn. I'm guessing there is some sheik or sultan who like cars. They can plaster their name all over every part of the Focus cars and still I do not wish to go to Abu Dhabi. What is it that they are trying to gain? Trying to attract tourists to their desert oasis on the Persian Gulf?

EDIT: yep, tourism is the goal. The Ford Abu Dhabi WRC website explains it all. They could pay for my airfare and I really don't want to go there. Maybe if they threw in tickets to the F1 race I might go.

Hah, I'm subscribed to amjayes.

Best vids they have are the 68 1000 lakes and the kit car stuff.

Amjayes and Hillclimbfans are two youtube channels you want to avoid - maybe............
