The vinyl skin of the Gymkhana THREE Ford Fiesta has seen a lot of smoke and tarmac the past year and a half: The banks of Montlhery, Goodwood Hillclimb, Gymkhana World Tours, and more. So when it came time to shed the drips for the car's all-new 2012 livery (launching Feb. 15th), Monster World Rally Team couldn't just give the local trash man a lucky day – so Ken Block decided to give some pieces out to the fans. The rules are easy: just head to Ken Block's Facebook page and tell him what your favorite part about the old livery was. The best answers win a mounted piece of GYM3 history!
