Video of the week: scaring co-drivers

We love rallying at The Petrol Blogger, especially when a Finnish man from the countryside is behind the wheel. That is usually when things either progress really fast or spectacularly into a bush... Either way the entertainment value is granted.

This week's video is a historical clip from the 1983 Manx rally, where Ari Vatanen, the Godfather of speed, demonstrates the immense power of having a Finnish nutsack. The funny in this otherwise so solemn and nostalgic video is located in the co-driver's seat. The co-driver is evidently scared a bit shitless by Vatanen's driving, to mildly describe it. Not even a case of aspergers will prevent you from reading the fear on this man's voice through the pace notes. It's cruel, but it's priceless.

The "Dear God" that the co-driver so accurately let's out of his mouth at 1:38 pretty much describes everything there is to know about this video...

Now, watch in awe:

Doesn't this clip just make you want to go out and break some traffic-laws?
