If I had his backing, I think I'd be collecting cars at the same rate! I assume his current association with Ford prevents him from being seen in anything else, but I understand both the gymkhana Imprezas are in his car collection. I think the the rally cars went back to Vermont Sports Cars.

The Hopkins RS200 was an odd one. Apparently the build stagnated in the UK, the car went to the US (where there were no specialists who would work on it), then it came back here when Terry Maynard bought it.

Block bought another RS200 a couple of years ago and, aside from a glimpse in the back of a video, that hasn't been seen either. That particular car was at dream spec (800+ BHP!) when it was advertised as well, so was seemingly ready to go (though I have been told since that the engine was removed before sale, so perhaps that is why that car hasn't been seen again)

Yeah, the blurb online mentions some stage rallies and "other projects", so probably another gymkhana video.

I'd prefer to see Block out in a Fiesta R5 or similar in some Rally America events, as it would be nice to see someone challenging the SRT USA cars.
