WebClips - links to items on the interwebs

Welcome to webclips, I thought I would start with a non-car item first, how about a bridge being blown up? It’s the Fort Steuben Bridge to be precise, no idea if it has any significance but it’s a great video! http://bit.ly/wLyi2A

How about Z1 style doors that disappear completely, it’s a prototype by Jaytech and surprisingly the video was made as recently as 2007, by looking at it you might be temped to say it was the 1980’s! http://bit.ly/wC3bpl   Right, back to normal now, a 700 BHP E90 M3!, sounds great and whilst it’s been developed and filmed in the USA the tuner sounds English: http://bit.ly/yQO75n

Chris Harris is now contributing to the YouTube “Drive” channel, his latest  musings are on living with the McLaren MP4-12C: http://bit.ly/yXoq5S I think he likes it! This next one is from John Castle, not sure if John is playing video games in his spare time but this is an classic 1971 3.0CSL being “spanked” around the Top Gear test track…in Forza 4, it’s amazing how good video games are these days… http://bit.ly/ws3YIR

This next one is worth a read; this chap in the USA has put 750,000 miles on his Honda Civic in just 5 years, It’s not hard to imagine that a car can do this sort of mileage given the right care and attention, however, I think most people would be dropping their car off into the main dealer about once a week at the rate this guy racks up the miles, and he does pretty much all the servicing himself on his driveway. http://jalo.ps/xkBDMg

Apparently, microwaves ruin everything: http://bit.ly/yZBOzD and with some weird looking organic fire retardant foam you can point a welding torch at your hand (7,500 degrees C)….don’t try any of these at home http://bit.ly/ylK046

There’e never enough coverage of Z4’s…..so here’s a nice little clip of one going flat out… http://bit.ly/wflATy oh, and it’s a GT3!

And finally, a bit of gratuitous “blowing things up”, don’t worry, it’s only an old MG Midget…but filmed at 1000 frames per second so you can see every little detail! http://bit.ly/x8gfLE
