Tommi Makinen + Touge?

yep, back in 2003, Tommi visited the famed touge from the BMI videos we've all seen far too many of... take a wild guess how he does.

What made me laugh when I saw this on DVD a while back was Tsuchiya. I guess he felt a little threatened by Makkinnen. You can tell he doesn't like it when Taniguchi and Orido refer to Tommi as the rally king and change it to champion followed by Tsuchiya making like he's eating noodles. Then later he comments that Orido and Taniguchi should be able to keep up with Tommi in his WRC Suby because they chose studded tires over Tommi's studless tire choice. When he said that I was like he's nuts no way they'll keep up with Tommi. They may all be national champions, but Tommi is a world champion and those road conditions are his greatest strength. Of course it was followed by a rude awakening when they saw how fast Tommi was and decided not to challenge him. Tsuchiya's face says it all when Tommi blasts by at like 120mph and poor Keichi is standing there in disbelief with his mouth open.

Now don't get the wrong idea I like all those guys and I really like watching Tsuchiya running his 86 on the touge. It's just funny how some of them act towards each other. At the end of the vid I thought is was nice how Tsuchiya hugged Tommi though. Great vid

There's another BMI segment with Gia Panizzi that's also really good. That guy's amazing on tarmac.
