Webclips 32

Hello,
Welcome to this months Webclips…start as you mean to go on…. with some fantastic sights and sounds of an M1 Pro Car…. http://bit.ly/18iz9VE and to follow that we have a review of all 4 of the M3 generations http://bit.ly/111lA5h
How about some Aston Martin goodness…..the CC100 concept, Aston Martin is celebrating it’s centenary this year and has created the CC100 in celebration of this fact… http://bit.ly/13VscTC
How about a parade of Jaguar’s? Not just a parade of any old Jag’s but a parade of Jags including three XK 120s with people like Sir Chris Hoy and Andy Wallace, Daniel Day Lewis and Jim Gianopulos and David Gandy and Yasmin Le Bon. All taking part in the  2013 Mille Miglia .The parade also included three C-Type sports cars with Jaguar regional director for Europe Bernard Kuhnt and actress Hannah Herzsprung piloting one, Alex Buncombe with Chris Harris another, and Salvatore Ferragamo Jr. alongside Michael Quinn -- the grandson of Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons who drove the final car. http://bit.ly/138OjHo
How Mike Conway survived this I’ll never know…. massive crash at Indianapolis: http://bit.ly/ZmcAw8
When I was younger (much younger!) I used to go and watch the Thunder Saloons at Mallory Park, they were noisy, fast and brutal, here’s some coverage from Oulton Park (I think) http://bit.ly/ZmcIvQ
I think we may have had this one before, but what the heck! It’s good…40 years of M….some great video clips http://bit.ly/18jbKDi
This ones a bit strange, apparently BMW got a driver to run over sheets of paper whilst spraying ink on the tyres for a promotional campaign…weird….you judge http://bit.ly/Z8mFKX
Ah yes, back to my favourite subject…HOONIGAN…here’s some coverage of Ken Block in a race completely ignoring the fact that his car is on fire! http://bit.ly/YSbEwv and whilst we are at it how about a 1000 frames per second tyre blowout http://bit.ly/11oqMVL
This is a great video, the US Navy Blue Angels set to music, some great manoeuvres in there: http://bit.ly/10yFO6y it’s serious aerobatics! The music is a bit cooler on the second video: http://bit.ly/18s3kar
Remember the Nissan Delta Wing? Here’s Chris Harris test-driving and reviewing it http://bit.ly/10yIyAI
And finally here’s an old BMW training video for the E31 850i http://bit.ly/112Hbxh The video is from 1989 which precedes the introduction of the 850i in 1990.
