Straight Six Webclips


Hello,
Welcome to webclips, let’s start this month with a link that a club member sent me, it’s a video from one of the “M” Driving Experiences at the Nurburgring in an E92 M3, it’s by no means flat out but it’s interesting since there is telemetry on board and it’s an “official” BMW video: http://bit.ly/M1BMxy
I guess you must all be familiar with Pistonheads, if not, you should be! Chris Harris was seen recently on a Road Testament video asking whether technology was spoiler cars “Is technology making cars worse?” http://bit.ly/LLygoD in which he also talks about how good the E46 M3 is in terms of its completeness, low and behold a few days later a buying guide appears on Pistonheads for the E46 M3: http://bit.ly/Oe6JkI
Here’s one that will no doubt make James Sohl cringe, it’s the Wheeler Dealers doing a buying guide on the 635CDSi, James hasn’t changed that much! http://bit.ly/P1lQk5
This next one is in Russion (bear with me), and it’s only 27 seconds long, I know that modern car Hi Fi can be very loud, but I had no idea that it could move this much air: http://bit.ly/Nf5Cyg
Make sure you have some spare time before you click this next link, it’s Jason Statham narrating the Story of Audi’s recent LeMans activities, it lasts about an hour and a half but is well worth watching http://bit.ly/M1HS1a and if that is not enough there is a part II, another hour and 22 minutes… http://bit.ly/M1IyU6
If you think it’s dangerous on the roads over here, take a look at Russia (that’s the second time in one webclips…) http://bit.ly/LsO2q8
I love this next one, it’s Magnus Walker, the so-called “Urban Outlaw”, a British guy who made his money in the fashion business but loves his Porsche’s, sounds like a really nice guy too! http://bit.ly/NXl95c (it’s also a really high quality video too so watch it full screen if you can).
I thought I was going to get through without any non-car videos but then spotted this: http://bit.ly/N4I3tv all it shows is a trail ploughing through deep snow but it’s somehow satisfting to watch.
