Straight Six webclips article from last month

Hello,
Welcome to webclips, let’s start with something that I thought wasn’t real!, This (very large) aeroplane is being lifted up by the wind. Now I know that this is exactly what makes them take off and stay in the air but this looks wrong: http://bit.ly/N6fBcj Bear in mind that this is a 747!!!

How good are you are you at parallel parking? Do you think you could do this? http://bit.ly/JXhs3D I doubt it, the world record is now less than 9 inches (22cm), that’s a gap that is just 22cm longer than the car you are parking in it, go on, you know you want to…

This next one is great, how many of us have fancied having a go at tailing a car and wondering if you have been spotted? It is said that these videos were produced by MI5 for the CIA back in the early 70’s, there’s quite a bit of extra explanation below the videos, video 1 is here: http://bit.ly/Lim3ZO and second one here: http://bit.ly/KlrwDl

OK, so who wants one of these? It’s got just under 840 bhp at the wheels and runs on normal petrol, it’s a Hennessey Venom GT Spyder, with a quick run on the dyno spitting flames. http://bit.ly/MjL6Re

How about one man’s journal of modifications to his Z4 M Coupe? It’s a great read and lots of tasty modifications: http://bit.ly/LVPRdk

Here’s a quick BMW video with that very dry commentary, I can’t understand why they use this guy, he should show some excitement when talking about the 3 series! http://bit.ly/JXkPrj

I haven’t found too many non-car videos this month so here’s an epic one, brilliant quality and fantastic flying from Kirby Chambliss, you will love this video! http://bit.ly/LVRc3E

If you ever need a fork list driver then look out for this guy, he either has a natural talent or has been practicing for weeks to be able to do this http://bit.ly/JXmfC2 and that’s not a small fork lift truck.

I love a bit of super slow motion, here are some stuff being smashed….doesn’t sound interesting? Watch the video, I think you’ll like it http://bit.ly/L8mjrW

And finally here’s one that Michael Johnson sent to me, it’s about the VW Phaeton factory in Germany, all looks very modern http://bit.ly/LbbZoT
