That reminds me of when my work was at the end of a 10.5 mile dirt road. My commute usually went something like the video. Of course I broke a set of shocks and collapsed a pair of front springs in 7 months, in addition to wearing through some rather important wiring, having my front caliper bolts back all the way out (not fun), and suffering numerous flat tires. Then I wised up and bought a Suzuki Samurai to use in place of the Lincoln Town Car I had at the time. It held up a little better.

fun drive, but what's with the sound? is it distorted, or is he overrevving and burning the hell out of the clutch?

Great fun!

I enjoyed the 123 coupe film as well!

Wow, cool to see a W114 racing, I guess I'm not the only one with this dream.

BTW I think it sounded amazing!
Also, I'm curious to know what rear-end (LSD?) he had in that thing to get the traction needed for a rally. Maybe one of those phantom LSDs or a locker?
