WebClips - links to items on the interwebs

Welcome to webclips, I’m starting this edition with what is probably the world’s fastest Lotus, with a 50% better power to weight ration than a Bugatti Veyron….and all built in what looks like a home workshop! http://bit.ly/HA1DvK

And straight to a vehicle with perhaps the complete opposite (in terms of power), you know I like to watch free-running and trick motorbike stunts, watch this next clip and see if you can believe what this kid is doing on the bike (that’s bicycle not motorbike!) http://bit.ly/H7XLAe

And from one amazing piece of physics to another, the helicopter, this is the first in a series of videos explaining how helicopters work, but to start the operator does a bit of a demo….amazing…. http://bit.ly/H5wCjH

OK, back to cars for a minute, here’s a great thread on e30owners.com about the rebuild of a 1986 E30 M3 http://bit.ly/HuJbXE There is so much detail in this thread that it’s almost a “how to” article on rebuilding an M3!

I guess most of you reading this must have owned a “British” car at some time? I certainly did, I had a Truimph 1500TC followed by a Dolomite 1850HL and an MG Metro, here’s a site dedicated to Austin Rover vehicles, some great nostalgia here: http://bit.ly/HbQ896 Speaking of Triumph, did you all see the rumours on the BMW CCA web site about BMW potentially resurrecting the Triumph name for a small sports car? http://bit.ly/Hco8XI

OK, back to more frivolous stuff…..trike drifting, looks like great fun but I think I’d be wearing some sturdy shoes! http://bit.ly/HzE2tX

I may have shown you all this one before but someone reminded me about it just recently, it’s a scale model of a Ferrari 312PB, http://bit.ly/HxrXEi The engine is similar to the one in this clip: http://bit.ly/HwGgr1

Here’s a great one that John Trist found, a couple of minutes of M1 ProCar’s at Monaco in 1979 http://bit.ly/H5jzeH fantastic!  And here’s a great video that Michael Johnson sent to me, it’s a “Drift Battle” between a car and a bike (there’s also a radio controlled car in the mix videoing it!) http://bit.ly/Hwu3HP

Now a couple of non car links, here are some fantastic panorama’s of cities from around the world: http://bit.ly/HHrT5j and finally (I thought that bit was clever as the next video is a BBC news clip…sort of) from “Cassetteboy” it’s a new take on the BBC news: http://bit.ly/HbR6lK
