I think a museum piece that gets used and shown at events in a respectable fashion. This was the first of 4 and the very first one he killed tyres in. This car is more special and needs to be kept the way it was when ken sold it. Even pipe and nut and bolt. That's my opinion.
If his daughter drove this at festival of speed that would be something else. The man, the legend will live on through his incredible feats in motorsports forever.
Keep the car Mark.....it must be in the custody of someone with a keen appreciation of Ken's driving genius, someone such as yourself, and it is my humble suggestion that every year, on his birthday perhaps, that the car be driven with utter enthusiasm in a fitting location to be determined annually, for all his fans to witness! Goodwood comes immediately to mind, with Ken's daughter Lia driving. Honestly, my heart weeps for his family. This was a fitting tribute. Well done.
Use it, showcase it and share it with the world and fans! I can’t imagine someone who lived the life Ken did would want to see something like this in a museum never to move and race again. Nothing more sad than seeing great cars as static show pieces…
I agree fully, use it as it should, race it and make it help you become a better driver and fulfill you dreams! If this was me, I would only accept to sell it if it was to the family. Enjoy it for us, because we can’t ❤
It’s going to be a while before this one stops hurting. I know he squeezed every drop out of every day, but he meant so much to me and so many others. My heart is still broken. Ken is my racing/drifting/driving hero. He is the one I looked up to all these years. He influenced my love for Motorsport and my own racing and driving habits so much, and I will never stop appreciating that. I consider myself so lucky to have been around while you worked your magic behind the wheel. Thank you Ken, for everything over all these years.
Ken did so much for the sport. I feel like the car needs to take the initial lap of some event each year as a nod to Ken, the man who helped bring life into an entire generation of racing.
Oh ffs! He was a crap driver and didn't do 'bring life' into racing. He was no Colin McRae or Richard Burns. Actual legends. Jesus christ, instagram kids these days, dumb as fuck.
I never thought a stranger's death would have this much of an impact on me. It still pains me. He was a legend because he had it all. Kindness, passion, skill, respect and love....especially for family and friends. My heart truly goes out to his family.
I can relate to this. I have had many celebrities die in my time and I was disappointed. When I heard about Ken I cried. I have been following him for years and he is the reason I got into cars and he became my hero. After seeing the type of man he was…I can’t imagine what loosing him would feel like if you were close to him. Such a warm, strong and loving man. My heart hurts for his family and friends. So much love goes out to them during this very difficult time.
Man bought this car as a collector's item, and now it's a relic. Seeing the interview of the people who worked with Ken in that car seems like they already blessed you, and recognized you as it's guardian and that you've been bestowed a great duty and responsibility to keep it safe.
One day you should let his children drive it with you and let Liadrive it because that would be really really amazing. What are the cars are they selling?
He only sold this one because he couldn’t post with it anymore after his ford deal was over. There is a video on UA-cam about that. And his wife and kids I’m sure are going to keep all the others since lia and Lucy both drive professionally
As a car guy and a huge fan of Mr. Block, I couldn't imagine he wouldn't want people to have fun with it still, drive it in special events like parades or very very special tribute events. It sounded like his close friends want to make sure nothing happens to it and I hope that's what happens at the end of the day. Great video, had me tearing up for sure. You hold a piece of a mans legacy in your hands, keep it safe for us! :)
Keep it, take care of it (I know you will). Have a little bit of fun in it, and hopefully within time Lia can drive it like her father did. RIP Ken you will never be forgotten ❤
This video really hit me. My father passed away the day after Thanksgiving 2022. I purchased a house a month prior and was planning on having him move in. I hadn't spent much time with him through out the years and had hoped to learn more about him. He was only 57. Life is incredibly short and anything can happen. I feel like I took my father's life for granted.. It's been painful, then learning about Ken's passing... It has been depressing. 2 weeks following Ken's death I purchased an M52B28 w/ a ZF 5 speed trans to swap into my facelift E46 to follow a dream and to build something, a tribute to my father, a turbo car.
Mark, Thank you for carrying on a part of Kens legacy, and being the most kind and caring gentleman you are. Ken is probably looking down at you and saying: Thank you. We know you will make the right decision. My heart forever goes out to Kens friends, family, fans and everybody that has been touched so significantly by his passing. Ride In Piece Ken. KB43VER 🕊🙏❤
Keep it, cherish it, show it off at the right events where people who know what it is will love it, respect it and Ken can carry on inspiring people. I do think you should let Lia drive it at some stage too. Maybe FOS celebrate Ken’s life and let Lia take it up the hill. RIP Ken, truly a legend.
The fact that you insist on being respectful says a lot about you!! Most people would be looking to capitalize on this but you seem to have the right idea!! Kudos to you for being awesome!
I’ve seen Terry a few times at Santa pod and he’s so genuine and loving for not only motorsport but everyone who shows interest. Wasn’t expecting to see him on the video today and this whole thing had me in tears the whole way through! Ken and his family will be so proud of what you’re doing and how you will continue to keep his legacy going through the car! ❤
The car couldn't have gone to a better person! I think it's fair to say we all appreciate the high level of care and respect being taken here to protect, not only the car, but those who were close to Ken and his family.
What a fantastically put together video and amazing tribute Mark. The raw emotion and upmost respect shown just shows what a great channel this is. Whatever happens with the car, I'm sure I speak for everyone in saying that it'll be done right by you and the team
I met Ken in Dunedin New Zealand. he was out sight seeing and i happened to spot him at lawyers head look out looking at the surf (nobody else was around).. we had a chat and a laugh about the weather and the waves.. Truly humble guy , he asked if i wanted a picture or and autograph and i said "nah mate the memory of this is far better than any of that" He laughed grabbed my hand and put his other hand the other side of it and gave it a shake,, Best time of my life and ill never forget it.. RIP Ken
Mark I'm in tears! Just like Ken your a genuine bloke who is fortunate to own something that will live on for years. A simple ford fiesta with a epic heritage that holds memories for Kens family friends and his fans. He is a legend to so many! now your the new custodian please dont put it in a museum but drive it let as many people see and hear it but also feel that rush of adrenaline that a legendary car does. Your in a position to do it and after watching this you will do it with what you have shown here. Passion enthusiasm and the upmost respect. Make her dance again 💃
I got chills watching this. Thanks for being a stand up dude and being so respectful to the legend. I think this car should be where ever the hoonicorn will end up IMO. RIP #43
Mark, you're such a legend for this. Brought a tear to my eye watching the first part of that video. It's so much more than just a car, it's part of motorsport history. And I'm sure you'll do all the right things to carry Ken's legacy on.
I'm so happy that just prior to him passing one of the last things he did was get his daughter a stunning audi quattro, I can only imagine how much that car means to her at this point. Still so tragic that hes gone.
KB43VER ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 TOUCHED THE WORLD 🌎 😢 WHAT A GUY , AN INSPIRATION, INSANE DRIVER, AND A GREAT GREAT GUY WE ALL WILL MISS!!! CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU DO WITH IT!!!
When you started the car I instantly felt Ken’s life fire up. You can’t let it sit quiet in a museum. Where ever it ends up it still needs to breath and roar. Ken may be gone but he definitely lives on in this vehicle. KeepEveryNoise KEN
Still grieving over the loss of such an amazing icon. So grateful to see countless tributes, reflections and respectful considerations of a man with so much talent. Ken's love and dedication to the ever expanding circles of people around him will live on forever. All his cars should be celebrated around the world whether it's a racing event or car show. A reminder of a great man and also the technology that went into his rides. A museum residence would not do enough for Ken's cars and his legacy. We need to hear there engines sing again and again. Further more I really think a proper hooning is in order to keep his great free spirit alive. Donuts for Ken!!! Much love for [Hoonigan]
from a fan aspect and a fan aspect only, i know ken would've hooned that car into the next life. this car deserves a final proper send off and then put into a car museum to forever remember Ken and the true impact he had on so many. He taught us to be dreamers, he inspired us to drive, he showed us life is too short to get caught up on little things and Most of all Ken show us how to not "be an asshole" in his exact words. I can only imagine what everyone at the team of hoonigan and those close to ken are going through right now because, even I, have the biggest hole in my heart from a man who only existed on my phone/ computer screen. I know you'll make the right choice for the future of this car.b KB43VER
I personally feel like this car does not deserve to be a museum piece. I think Ken would love for it to still be used. I think using at events like Festival of Speed and some light PR racing, events would do it alot of justice! I hope to see his daughter drive this car some day!
Ken built that car to be driven and enjoyed. I feel that's what you should do with it and I think Ken would want that too. Drive it and enjoy it but respect it and maintain it correctly.Take it to car shows, let the world see it ogle in it's awesomeness. Amazing tribute guys, Ken is missed by all. My thoughts to his family and friends.
It's a true icon and should be respected as one. Ken was a huge inspiration to millions and the videos and memories will always be there. Taking a selfie with it won't make he legacy better. Knowing the car is safe and retired is all that is needed. It is your car and u do as u see fit.
while i agree, theres also the side of "how do we stay respectful to ken, while having fun and letting his legacy live on through his car." i think they would be smart to at least let it wait until this wound isnt as fresh. but after that, they should definitely set up a small, low stakes gymkhana or rally stage and let lia drive it in tribute to him and his lagecy.
"and if you do it correctly....Once is enough" My God that's such a powerful statement and a far more inspirational concept than the cliche of living to the fullest.
Mia would love to drive this car, Ken really gave alot of time to her and for a young lady, has grown in talent. She and her family truely lost alot we all did. But Mia was especially close to her dad. When's she's ready and ready to open up again, allow her the offer to drive it around the world in honour of her dad and give her the best off road and on road experiences and capture the whole thing.
I can feel the love and respect for Ken in this video. Very emotional after watching, The car is clearly in good hands and I know you’ll do the right thing with it. Personally I’d love to see it make appearances at Festival of Speed when the time is right. RIP Ken Block #43
I feel deeply that Ken showed we're not bad people. We just love cars and going fast that's it. I do dumb stuff but god forbid if I got someone hurt I would be devastated. God bless all the car enthusiasts!
Give it one or two years of life, cruise around with it and have fun. It deserves to be showcase, given how prolific the car (and its origins) are. But do it in the way you had it in video: under wraps, seen from a distance, paid with full respect and honour. And I'm sure your connections with the Block family will provide opportunities for Ken's kids to access the car, should they wish to. And after all that, it will eventually become a piece of automotive history the public will get to see themselves without reservation like in a Ford Museum. You've done such a wonderful tribute to a man we all knew what impact he made in our world - a pioneer, a visionary, a legend. #KB43VR
I think it should go too Lia who just 3 months ago spent time with her dad getting ready for her license and we all know how awesome a feeling it is finally getting to drive and no pressure when your dads Ken Block lol it was crushing news for me hearing about his accident he was a huge inspiration for me that led to my career in the auto industry we lost a hero and auto legend but his family lost that and way more than I can imagine a husband and father and someday if his daughters have kids being able to show them the legendary car that will forever be forged as Ken Blocks because when our loved ones are gone memories are all we have and good memories belong with those who will miss him the most his family. And Mark I loved how you respectfully denied displaying the car until the right people ask you made a great video honoring his memory. We will never forget Ken Block
The first thought, before you even asked, would be a museum but the only people who should advise is the family. You're in a tough situation. Good luck, what you're in possession of is monumental. The price of that car has just gone to the moon.
Keep Ken’s legacy going and don’t let the car go it will be a true sadness to see it come off your Chanel and Ken was such an amazing person and such a driver. Please keep the car and any amazing big shows would be awesome to let people see it when the family is happy for you to show it to people. Rest easy Ken block keep them tires burning up there 😢😭
Yep..always laughing..always smiling..living each day to the max..missed but never forgotten..Godspeed ..hugs to family n all his friends..think you answered the cars future..youre a friend of his..think he'd thank you if you gave Lia a chance to drive her dad's car..something to think about
Am instantly a fan of this channel ! Well articulated, well spoken, quite hilarious and it was very big of him to decide to bring the car, despite the fact that he now owns it. And to top it off, he’s sincere enough to understand and respect the new meaning of the car to the world. What a man you are. 🤝🏽 Cheers to Ken and a life lived well 🥂
This car should be raced as a tribute in every possible rallycross and rally event around the globe. Not for result. But just to be seen. Ken would be proud to see this car used in a proper way. Never a museum peace!
Wonderful video. I grew up idolizing Ken and it brought a warming spirit to see you treating such an Iconic piece of automotive history with respect and care for the family first and foremost
I sat and watched this show the auto show is amazing. You and Terry done Ken proud that tribute was touching. I was in the NEC in 2019 with Terry Grant racing 3-wheeler morgan it was an amazing feeling sitting on the sides waiting to go out can't explain that feeling. Shame I missed you back sage may be one day I will bump into you.
RIP KEN BLOCK #43 there will never be another Ken such a kind hearted man that made these videos for the people and not the money I still can't believe this legend gone I'm just glad to Have shared this time on earth with him he's already missed and it's only been a hard month ago since we loss great man rest easy brotha 🙏ur name and wat u made will live on through the ages
Man I'm still heart broken by this. the man is a legend. He has brought countless hours of car fanatics joy to millions of heart and souls. The legend the icon..💔💙💙💙
Allow people to see it and appreciate it. Take it to shows. Thank you for showing this. I hate that it left the USA. But im glad it went to someone who knows the importance of such car. And is going to value it.
whatever you do, just try not to damage it ;) what a nice piece and i'm so glad it's in the hands of someone that has the grace and respect for ken and his family. just take good care of it. cheers
The best way to respect and pay tribute to Ken is to use it in the exact way he would. He built everything to put smiles on people's faces and that should continue.
Superb tribute mate, the car needs to be seen, as I imagine Ken would want, look at the cars they take to FOS, I wouldn’t like to see it trashed around a track or sat in a glass box in a museum, take it to shows and meets whenever you can, I’d absolutely love to see it running as I never got the chance to see the man himself drive in person, big love for this one Mark
Such a beautiful tribute to a great man… regardless of what anyone comments you should follow your heart and do what your heart tells you to do with the car.. and I have an inkling from what you said in the video you’ll do what I would do if I was in your position.. god bless you fella #KB43VER
This isn't just a car story, this is 's a beautiful tribute. 👌👍👊. Moving forward, I feel you are the perfect custodian of the car. Stick to shearing the love, Goodwood festival of speed and so o👊
Honestly i really appreciate how you´re handling the situation, good to see the car in responsible hands. I would suggest to show it off at proper events and definitely ask Lia if she wants to have a drive in it when the time has come.
Not lying I started crying watching this video, Ken is the reason why my dream is to become a rally driver. I can tell you love and respect him and I loved what you did with the car. I just wish I could meet ken and show him what I have to offer the word, but I guess I'll have to do that on my own.
I like tthe most. we grew up with Kens videos, Hoonigan vifeos and of course wrc videos. In my opinion if you have the free time or the sponsors, this iconic car which Ken Block make us to watch again and again his videos, in every world rally championship that Kens took a part must be there for tthe funs,for the memory of Ken Block. Sorry about my English. Greetings from Central Greece from a faithfull rally and Kens Block fun. Thank you a lot for this investment. R.I.P. Ken Block.
I am 50 years old and Ken block was an amazing man that I looked up to. The last thing any Racer - would ever want is for one of their cars to never be driven again. Take it out enjoy it, show it, You're his fan, So enjoyed it the way you want to, the way YOU want to Memorialize his life. 👋 RiP 🙏
Wow i learnt a lot about Ken Block in this video, i understand now why he is such a legend, i knew of him and seen some of his vids before his death but didnt understand the impact he had and the man he was, but this vids is such a good tribute im now a much much much much bigger fan, thank you for this. Respect to a great man, mr Ken Block.
This car needs to be used for special events and continue showing this thing off. This was my favorite car in Kens fleet don't let it be stuck in a museum, let this monster eat and live its life.
For me rx43 was my favorite racecar ken owned, nimble little rally car that has all you need and its tuned to perfection. I am glad it ended up in good hands. Also i have it on my wallpaper
Awesome respectful video. Great to see you put so much thought into what happens with the car. Definitely emotional. Knowing what ken was like but never meeting him in person I would think he wouldn't begrudge you driving it and using it how you want too. I think one if his kids driving it at some point would be amazing.
U have a piece of history it looks like it has a great home which makes me happy as a fellow American other than his family or team that car couldn't be in better hands i think so the future generations will be able to see his great cars that whipped around in ill never forget the feeling i got when i saw this giant of a man shred the tires off a cars
wish I could follow in the footsteps of this great man one day. Love driving but have nowhere near the funds to do it like he did but everyone can get their start with the right motivation
Great video Mark, I would love to see it driven from time to time but please please please don’t let it become a museum piece, I feel as though that’s the last thing Ken would’ve wanted. RIP to a legend 🙏🏼
His daughter, she could do amazing things with that. Ken seemed to be an amazing father! You could see that in his face everytime she sat behind the wheel. He was nervous but happy as a pig in shit! What an amazing dude! My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends they lost way more than a legend.
Definitely not a museum. Ken drove all his vehicles. I’m seeing this after it’s run at FOS. Such appropriate events like that are so respectful. Keep it up. 👍👍
As most others in these comments have said, it deserves so much more then to sit inside of a museum... We can't say for certain what Ken Block would have wanted to do with the car.
Show it as many places as you can! Keep Ken block alive with that awesome car. Share the stories to all of us please. And if you can ever come to the USA bring it with you and let everyone see the iconic car and let people take pictures with it in the future! No do not put it in a museum! It's your car now and you are a huge fan! Make him and his family proud. Show it off!
His death is the first celeberty death that was able to make my eyes water. Seeing tributes of all sorts even after 3 months, it manages to have me wipe away a tear or 2. The impact this guy had on us petrolheads us unseen. This car is priceless
Mr. Block was one of those guys that you would not be able to find anything about him that was unpleasant like some other people in the "spotlight". He truly lived by the words "Be Creative__Live a fun life, and don't be an asshole." 43VER
Don’t let it become a museum piece! Make sure it gets seen and appreciated, things like Festival of speed would be a fantastic event for it!
He should bring it to this year's Festival of Speed!
Deffo FOS
I think a museum piece that gets used and shown at events in a respectable fashion. This was the first of 4 and the very first one he killed tyres in. This car is more special and needs to be kept the way it was when ken sold it. Even pipe and nut and bolt. That's my opinion.
“Don’t let it sit”
“Let it be seen and appreciate”
DRIVE THE PISS OUT OF THAT CAR FOR KEN43VER
That car needs the wheels driven off it like Ken would.
If his daughter drove this at festival of speed that would be something else. The man, the legend will live on through his incredible feats in motorsports forever.
I have a feeling this may happen one day 🚙💨❤️
Hopefully this happens
Yes! Make this happen!!
Awesome
I want to see that so bad
Lia needs to to be given the chance to drive this car,she is an unbelievable driver all ready at 16 thanks to her Dad.
RIP Ken Block - a true legend
all his cars should have gone to her cuz thats the only place where they belong
She is really gonna kill it
If Ken had wished his daughter drive this car, he wouldn’t have wanted to sell it !! Lia has other cars to drive!
@@Jean-lx9ok I agree! Ken was an icon to the world, I think he would have agreed to share these cars with the world.
@@xprogrunds2836 the cars got sold before he died

This^^ I obviously never knew the man, but he seemed like the type that would want it to be used.
No mechanical symphaty, that's how Ken did everything. So if you want to honour Ken, you drive the shit out of it!
that was my thoughts to
100% hoon it around etc... ken would have wanted that. he even hooned some audi group b rally cary recently, i'm sure thats what he would have wanted
It’s going to be a while before this one stops hurting. I know he squeezed every drop out of every day, but he meant so much to me and so many others. My heart is still broken.

Your thought is the best..
A lap of honour..

Oh ffs! He was a crap driver and didn't do 'bring life' into racing. He was no Colin McRae or Richard Burns. Actual legends.

Im on board with this one
Yeah that's a wicked idea mate. 👏
I never thought a stranger's death would have this much of an impact on me.

One day you should let his children drive it with you and let Liadrive it because that would be really really amazing. What are the cars are they selling?
i was also going to post, hold onto the car and let kens children drive it when they are old enough.
Just a mild correction. It’s actually Lia👍
He only sold this one because he couldn’t post with it anymore after his ford deal was over. There is a video on UA-cam about that. And his wife and kids I’m sure are going to keep all the others since lia and Lucy both drive professionally
Or you can buy the car to give to his children. 🙏🏻

Wow had butterflies in my stomach watching that tribute. Ken Block was a legend and will be sadly missed! The car should definately be in a museum.
No way, that car should be driven image riding down the road and u run across this would make your day
The car couldn't have gone to a better person!
I think it's fair to say we all appreciate the high level of care and respect being taken here to protect, not only the car, but those who were close to Ken and his family.
What a fantastically put together video and amazing tribute Mark. The raw emotion and upmost respect shown just shows what a great channel this is. Whatever happens with the car, I'm sure I speak for everyone in saying that it'll be done right by you and the team
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for your support
I met Ken in Dunedin New Zealand. he was out sight seeing and i happened to spot him at lawyers head look out looking at the surf (nobody else was around).. we had a chat and a laugh about the weather and the waves.. Truly humble guy , he asked if i wanted a picture or and autograph and i said "nah mate the memory of this is far better than any of that" He laughed grabbed my hand and put his other hand the other side of it and gave it a shake,, Best time of my life and ill never forget it.. RIP Ken
Mark I'm in tears! Just like Ken your a genuine bloke who is fortunate to own something that will live on for years.
A simple ford fiesta with a epic heritage that holds memories for Kens family friends and his fans. He is a legend to so many! now your the new custodian please dont put it in a museum but drive it let as many people see and hear it but also feel that rush of adrenaline that a legendary car does.
Your in a position to do it and after watching this you will do it with what you have shown here. Passion enthusiasm and the upmost respect.
Make her dance again 💃
I got chills watching this. Thanks for being a stand up dude and being so respectful to the legend. I think this car should be where ever the hoonicorn will end up IMO. RIP #43
Mark, you're such a legend for this. Brought a tear to my eye watching the first part of that video. It's so much more than just a car, it's part of motorsport history. And I'm sure you'll do all the right things to carry Ken's legacy on.
I'm so happy that just prior to him passing one of the last things he did was get his daughter a stunning audi quattro, I can only imagine how much that car means to her at this point. Still so tragic that hes gone.
KB43VER ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 TOUCHED THE WORLD 🌎 😢 WHAT A GUY , AN INSPIRATION, INSANE DRIVER, AND A GREAT GREAT GUY WE ALL WILL MISS!!! CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU DO WITH IT!!!
Bro, the pet when Mark drove the car on stage really gave me goosebumps. RIP Ken Block
Amazingly done Ken was a true inspiration grew up watching him with my dad what a legend. Congratulations on 100k Mark you deserve it all man
His car couldn’t have been brought by a better person. Thank you for driving and preserving this truly amazing motor
What an emotional tribute to a legend. Nicely done Mark 💙
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
this car needs to be put in a museum so its well protected and preserved. ken block was the worlds hero. nothing but inspiration from that man.
When you started the car I instantly felt Ken’s life fire up. You can’t let it sit quiet in a museum. Where ever it ends up it still needs to breath and roar. Ken may be gone but he definitely lives on in this vehicle. KeepEveryNoise KEN

Still grieving over the loss of such an amazing icon. So grateful to see countless tributes, reflections and respectful considerations of a man with so much talent. Ken's love and dedication to the ever expanding circles of people around him will live on forever. All his cars should be celebrated around the world whether it's a racing event or car show. A reminder of a great man and also the technology that went into his rides. A museum residence would not do enough for Ken's cars and his legacy. We need to hear there engines sing again and again. Further more I really think a proper hooning is in order to keep his great free spirit alive. Donuts for Ken!!! Much love for [Hoonigan]

from a fan aspect and a fan aspect only, i know ken would've hooned that car into the next life. this car deserves a final proper send off and then put into a car museum to forever remember Ken and the true impact he had on so many. He taught us to be dreamers, he inspired us to drive, he showed us life is too short to get caught up on little things and Most of all Ken show us how to not "be an asshole" in his exact words. I can only imagine what everyone at the team of hoonigan and those close to ken are going through right now because, even I, have the biggest hole in my heart from a man who only existed on my phone/ computer screen. I know you'll make the right choice for the future of this car.b KB43VER
I personally feel like this car does not deserve to be a museum piece. I think Ken would love for it to still be used. I think using at events like Festival of Speed and some light PR racing, events would do it alot of justice! I hope to see his daughter drive this car some day!
Ken built that car to be driven and enjoyed.
I feel that's what you should do with it and I think Ken would want that too. Drive it and enjoy it but respect it and maintain it correctly.Take it to car shows, let the world see it ogle in it's awesomeness.
Amazing tribute guys, Ken is missed by all.
My thoughts to his family and friends.
Ken didn't build it. Olsbergs MSE in Sweden did.
You are correct, I should have just said the car was built to be driven and enjoyed 👍
It's a true icon and should be respected as one. Ken was a huge inspiration to millions and the videos and memories will always be there. Taking a selfie with it won't make he legacy better. Knowing the car is safe and retired is all that is needed. It is your car and u do as u see fit.
what would ken want you to do with it? I'm going to guess and say hoon it!
while i agree, theres also the side of "how do we stay respectful to ken, while having fun and letting his legacy live on through his car." i think they would be smart to at least let it wait until this wound isnt as fresh. but after that, they should definitely set up a small, low stakes gymkhana or rally stage and let lia drive it in tribute to him and his lagecy.
Hi 😊
"and if you do it correctly....Once is enough" My God that's such a powerful statement and a far more inspirational concept than the cliche of living to the fullest.
Mia would love to drive this car, Ken really gave alot of time to her and for a young lady, has grown in talent. She and her family truely lost alot we all did. But Mia was especially close to her dad. When's she's ready and ready to open up again, allow her the offer to drive it around the world in honour of her dad and give her the best off road and on road experiences and capture the whole thing.
I can feel the love and respect for Ken in this video. Very emotional after watching, The car is clearly in good hands and I know you’ll do the right thing with it. Personally I’d love to see it make appearances at Festival of Speed when the time is right. RIP Ken Block #43
You absolutely deserve that car. My heart stopped when I heard the news. He was and still is my inspiration. I'm so glad you're the one who has it.
Thankyou for sharing this with us all 43 DC Ken Block what a legend Rest in Peace brother
I feel deeply that Ken showed we're not bad people. We just love cars and going fast that's it. I do dumb stuff but god forbid if I got someone hurt I would be devastated. God bless all the car enthusiasts!
Give it one or two years of life, cruise around with it and have fun. It deserves to be showcase, given how prolific the car (and its origins) are. But do it in the way you had it in video: under wraps, seen from a distance, paid with full respect and honour. And I'm sure your connections with the Block family will provide opportunities for Ken's kids to access the car, should they wish to. And after all that, it will eventually become a piece of automotive history the public will get to see themselves without reservation like in a Ford Museum.
You've done such a wonderful tribute to a man we all knew what impact he made in our world - a pioneer, a visionary, a legend. #KB43VR
It's apparent how much you looked up to him, I'm glad someone like you acquired it.
I think it should go too Lia who just 3 months ago spent time with her dad getting ready for her license and we all know how awesome a feeling it is finally getting to drive and no pressure when your dads Ken Block lol it was crushing news for me hearing about his accident he was a huge inspiration for me that led to my career in the auto industry we lost a hero and auto legend but his family lost that and way more than I can imagine a husband and father and someday if his daughters have kids being able to show them the legendary car that will forever be forged as Ken Blocks because when our loved ones are gone memories are all we have and good memories belong with those who will miss him the most his family. And Mark I loved how you respectfully denied displaying the car until the right people ask you made a great video honoring his memory. We will never forget Ken Block
The first thought, before you even asked, would be a museum but the only people who should advise is the family.
You're in a tough situation.
Good luck, what you're in possession of is monumental.
The price of that car has just gone to the moon.
Keep Ken’s legacy going and don’t let the car go it will be a true sadness to see it come off your Chanel and Ken was such an amazing person and such a driver. Please keep the car and any amazing big shows would be awesome to let people see it when the family is happy for you to show it to people. Rest easy Ken block keep them tires burning up there 😢😭
R.I.P. to a true legend Ken Block!!!!
Thanks for sharing the video.
Yep..always laughing..always smiling..living each day to the max..missed but never forgotten..Godspeed ..hugs to family n all his friends..think you answered the cars future..youre a friend of his..think he'd thank you if you gave Lia a chance to drive her dad's car..something to think about
Am instantly a fan of this channel !
Well articulated, well spoken, quite hilarious and it was very big of him to decide to bring the car, despite the fact that he now owns it.
And to top it off, he’s sincere enough to understand and respect the new meaning of the car to the world.
What a man you are. 🤝🏽
Cheers to Ken and a life lived well 🥂
This car should be raced as a tribute in every possible rallycross and rally event around the globe. Not for result. But just to be seen.
Ken would be proud to see this car used in a proper way. Never a museum peace!
Wonderful video. I grew up idolizing Ken and it brought a warming spirit to see you treating such an Iconic piece of automotive history with respect and care for the family first and foremost
Give it to his family.great respect to you.i'm in tears.
Saw the Tribute Live, Really was something special in the Live arena... Fantastically done, a simple, yet fitting tribute to a true motoring Legend.
I was lucky enough to have meet with Ken block and sat in the RX43 a few years back. What a genuine man. May he rest in peace
Well done Mark. Terry, don't underestimate the LEGEND that you are Sir! KBFOREVER
I sat and watched this show the auto show is amazing. You and Terry done Ken proud that tribute was touching.
I was in the NEC in 2019 with Terry Grant racing 3-wheeler morgan it was an amazing feeling sitting on the sides waiting to go out can't explain that feeling. Shame I missed you back sage may be one day I will bump into you.
RIP KEN BLOCK #43 there will never be another Ken such a kind hearted man that made these videos for the people and not the money I still can't believe this legend gone I'm just glad to Have shared this time on earth with him he's already missed and it's only been a hard month ago since we loss great man rest easy brotha 🙏ur name and wat u made will live on through the ages
Man I'm still heart broken by this. the man is a legend. He has brought countless hours of car fanatics joy to millions of heart and souls. The legend the icon..💔💙💙💙
Allow people to see it and appreciate it. Take it to shows. Thank you for showing this. I hate that it left the USA. But im glad it went to someone who knows the importance of such car. And is going to value it.
whatever you do, just try not to damage it ;) what a nice piece and i'm so glad it's in the hands of someone that has the grace and respect for ken and his family. just take good care of it. cheers
I was lucky to see this in person at the autoshow, RIP to the legend 🙏
The best way to respect and pay tribute to Ken is to use it in the exact way he would. He built everything to put smiles on people's faces and that should continue.
Superb tribute mate, the car needs to be seen, as I imagine Ken would want, look at the cars they take to FOS, I wouldn’t like to see it trashed around a track or sat in a glass box in a museum, take it to shows and meets whenever you can, I’d absolutely love to see it running as I never got the chance to see the man himself drive in person, big love for this one Mark
+1 on seeing Lia drive it too in the future
Absolutely fantastic video and brilliant tribute to the great man, keep the car let the world see it, don't let it just sit and rot in a museum
Such a beautiful tribute to a great man… regardless of what anyone comments you should follow your heart and do what your heart tells you to do with the car.. and I have an inkling from what you said in the video you’ll do what I would do if I was in your position.. god bless you fella
#KB43VER
This isn't just a car story, this is 's a beautiful tribute. 👌👍👊.
Moving forward, I feel you are the perfect custodian of the car. Stick to shearing the love, Goodwood festival of speed and so o👊
Honestly i really appreciate how you´re handling the situation, good to see the car in responsible hands.
I would suggest to show it off at proper events and definitely ask Lia if she wants to have a drive in it when the time has come.
Terry Grant what a true gentlemen you can see the respect and friendship he had for Ken block. R.I.P
Not lying I started crying watching this video, Ken is the reason why my dream is to become a rally driver. I can tell you love and respect him and I loved what you did with the car. I just wish I could meet ken and show him what I have to offer the word, but I guess I'll have to do that on my own.
Like many others, don't let it sit, that thing deserves to hoon and be shown off to the world!
We need a Ken Block museum where this car needs to be center stage
RIP KEN THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER
I like tthe most. we grew up with Kens videos, Hoonigan vifeos and of course wrc videos. In my opinion if you have the free time or the sponsors, this iconic car which Ken Block make us to watch again and again his videos, in every world rally championship that Kens took a part must be there for tthe funs,for the memory of Ken Block. Sorry about my English. Greetings from Central Greece from a faithfull rally and Kens Block fun. Thank you a lot for this investment. R.I.P. Ken Block.
I am 50 years old and Ken block was an amazing man that I looked up to. The last thing any Racer - would ever want is for one of their cars to never be driven again. Take it out enjoy it, show it, You're his fan, So enjoyed it the way you want to, the way YOU want to Memorialize his life. 👋
RiP 🙏
Wow i learnt a lot about Ken Block in this video, i understand now why he is such a legend, i knew of him and seen some of his vids before his death but didnt understand the impact he had and the man he was, but this vids is such a good tribute im now a much much much much bigger fan, thank you for this. Respect to a great man, mr Ken Block.
Ken and his family would want you to drive that car like he drove it. His spirit lives on in that car and every heart he has touched.
Well done getting that amazing machine,it needs to be seen and heard screaming and popping so Ken can smile down . That's what he would want.👍🙏🏴
Good on you mate. This has brought tears to my eyes. Glad too see his legacy live on through out the world

This car needs to be used for special events and continue showing this thing off. This was my favorite car in Kens fleet don't let it be stuck in a museum, let this monster eat and live its life.
For me rx43 was my favorite racecar ken owned, nimble little rally car that has all you need and its tuned to perfection. I am glad it ended up in good hands. Also i have it on my wallpaper
That moment out there made me tear up as soon as I saw it, damn it's just heart rattling
Awesome respectful video. Great to see you put so much thought into what happens with the car. Definitely emotional. Knowing what ken was like but never meeting him in person I would think he wouldn't begrudge you driving it and using it how you want too. I think one if his kids driving it at some point would be amazing.
I thinking you should keep it ,the car should not stand in a museum. You have worked hard for that car and it deserves to be driven by you.
U have a piece of history it looks like it has a great home which makes me happy as a fellow American other than his family or team that car couldn't be in better hands i think so the future generations will be able to see his great cars that whipped around in ill never forget the feeling i got when i saw this giant of a man shred the tires off a cars
wish I could follow in the footsteps of this great man one day. Love driving but have nowhere near the funds to do it like he did but everyone can get their start with the right motivation
Great video Mark, I would love to see it driven from time to time but please please please don’t let it become a museum piece, I feel as though that’s the last thing Ken would’ve wanted. RIP to a legend 🙏🏼
I was at the show on the Sunday, it was beautiful and respectful tribute.
His daughter, she could do amazing things with that. Ken seemed to be an amazing father! You could see that in his face everytime she sat behind the wheel. He was nervous but happy as a pig in shit! What an amazing dude! My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends they lost way more than a legend.
Definitely not a museum. Ken drove all his vehicles. I’m seeing this after it’s run at FOS. Such appropriate events like that are so respectful. Keep it up. 👍👍
Wow imagine one day this legend will come home ..❤
As most others in these comments have said, it deserves so much more then to sit inside of a museum... We can't say for certain what Ken Block would have wanted to do with the car.
Keep it forever man! Hold onto it and take care and appreciate it! Do it for Ken do it for all of us.
Show it as many places as you can! Keep Ken block alive with that awesome car. Share the stories to all of us please. And if you can ever come to the USA bring it with you and let everyone see the iconic car and let people take pictures with it in the future! No do not put it in a museum! It's your car now and you are a huge fan! Make him and his family proud. Show it off!

His death is the first celeberty death that was able to make my eyes water. Seeing tributes of all sorts even after 3 months, it manages to have me wipe away a tear or 2. The impact this guy had on us petrolheads us unseen. This car is priceless
Mr. Block was one of those guys that you would not be able to find anything about him that was unpleasant like some other people in the "spotlight". He truly lived by the words "Be Creative__Live a fun life, and don't be an asshole." 43VER
