Webclips


Hello,
Welcome to webclips, first off this month something a little bit revolutionary in the world of video, a camera that allows live viewing, or at least recording, around 360 degrees. It’s been fairly common of late in some cameras but not for video: http://bit.ly/QvwrUt
How about Clarkson’s top 100 cars in full on YouTube, no reason for this really other than it’s good entertainment! http://bit.ly/VbDsZx
Oh, and a bit more Clarkson, although this one is more relevant, a comparison of the E46 M3 CSL and the E9 equivalent, also, you may recognise the registration number on the E9 as it belongs to a member of the club: http://bit.ly/Tx35FQ
Blimey, it’s Clarkson central around here, how many of you have seen the reviews of the new 1 Series M135i? Here’s Clarkson’s review from the Sunday Times: http://bit.ly/Wz3y7U closely followed by Chris Harris’ video view verses the Audi RS3 http://bit.ly/QT0xCN both very complimentary!
I have seen some serious off-roading videos on YouTube but this goes farther than I have seen before, the “Gall Boys in Queensland Australia….with caravans http://bit.ly/Tr8Wcm
Autocar recently posted a video of “how to make the perfect M3” where they consider the various elements of past M3’s that could/should be incorporated in the next M3 (2014) http://bit.ly/UfXNMl
How about some restoration, apologies it’s mostly M3 related: http://bit.ly/V9cuQ1 hopefully the links will still work when you read this article as they are from eBay: http://bit.ly/TyiBjR
A tractor that can do donuts…need I say more? http://bit.ly/UfY4ih
Here’s a great collection of videos on Bimmer Times (www.bimmertimes.com), you may have seen some of them before but they are all collected together here for ease of access, there’s also a little bit about each of the cars featured: http://bit.ly/Yfvy6O
World’s fastest street car over a standing mile @ 283 mph, pretty impressive stuff: http://bit.ly/Tyj3hU the car is based on a Ford GT.
A while back Maria de Villota had a bad accident at Duxford whilst testing for Marussia F1, here’s the full story and an interview with Maria after her recovery, she’s pretty keen to get back into racing as soon as she can: http://bit.ly/VaVR6H
Want to see something silly? How about the Dutch Superbus project: http://bit.ly/Wz5Aos I can’t see it getting very far…
Finally…..a man in the USA spent 17 years building a Lamborghini in his basement and didn’t even have a way of getting it out when he had finished: http://bit.ly/UwMVMk
