Webclips 30

Hello,
Welcome to this months Webclips, let’s start with some 320iS goodness……Patrick Orth going for a quick time….great sounds and it does look really fast! http://bit.ly/YLwUVa

Here’s a great video from Petrolicious about the Targa California, it’s all about experiencing the back roads of Central California in vintage cars (1975 and older). It’s an homage to the original Targa Florio race in Sicily, its non-competitive 3-day vintage rally. There are Porsche 356's, Alfa Romeos, BMW 2002's plus many many more: http://vimeo.com/50545152

Next a short video by BMW about the various sounds made by a car, everything from the exhaust to the “lights left on” sound…… http://bit.ly/16aVO0w

Here’s a video from The Smoking Tyre about a bunch of cars supercharged by VF Engineering, it includes an E92 M3 with 620 BHP, Matt Farrah reviews them all: http://bit.ly/14xFUAU

Here’s a series of video’s from “Live and Let Drive” part 1: When Chris Harris Meets Alex Roy, I’m sure you’ll enjoy these, once you see the first one you’ll want to see the others (links are on the page): http://bit.ly/16pJOKG

Here’s a bit more Chris Harris with his 325 on the Wye Dean Rally: http://bit.ly/123Lirn and here’s what happened on their first test day: http://bit.ly/XwbA75

If you like the sound of a six cylinder BMW the chances are you’ll love this next video, it’s a tribute to the Audi S1, you know, the one that did rather well on the Pike Peak hill climb a few years ago, fantastic sounds: http://bit.ly/YooFP3

Oh, OK then, here’s one we’ve had before, Patrick Snijers on the Isle of Man a good few years ago now: http://bit.ly/14G3PyH

Not really a “Webclips” thing but I found this survey very interesting, the SMMT have put together the 2013 Motor Industry facts book, their study records the detail of each of the 35,760,901 cars, vans, trucks, buses and coaches on the UK’s roads at this time. It’s a fascinating read, the PDF of the report can be found here: http://bit.ly/YUFZhl

OK, so this last one is a bit strange…it’s a BMW advert that was run in South Africa for the M535i, eschewing the benefits of fuel injection over carburettors, however, the way they did it is a little strange: http://bit.ly/YTBlKr
