As usual, rocking out on the rally again, this year there is a mini series being filmed by SpeedTV. Not 100% sure what I'll be driving, looks like either an M5 or maybe a Spyker. Hopefully a few of you can join us

Actually, I'm bumming a ride this year rather than bringing something of my own. Though I am thinking about selling stuff and buying an M Coupe.

I just finished navigating in the Bullrun for a nice guy with a Lexus IS-F. How does this rally compare?

I have not attended bull run so I cant really compare the two. I can say that I've NEVER had a bad time on AKA, met tons of people that I go visit regularly, crazy stories, awesome roads, experiences, etc. Basically the kind of stuff I'll never forget. It's reasonably priced with tons of like minded car people, plus with SpeedTV this year it should be fairly easy to secure outside sponsorship.

Video teaser for you guys. The black M5 with the painters tape badging (changed it to a CTS-V since there were to many M5's this rally!) burning off tire is mine.
