Webclips 28

You get two doses of Webclips this month as I have decided to publish them here ahead of them being published in the magazine in order to help me stay sane!

Hello,
Welcome to webclips, lets start how we mean to go on! I’m kicking off this month with some fantastic sounds of an E30 M3 with a sequential gearbox: http://bit.ly/VCL7Vi It’s a 1991 Bigazzi car raced by Steve Soper, the main modification being the gearbox, awesome!

Next up is Rhys Millen in his Hyundai Genesis with around 750hp and 750lbs torque running up Pikes Peak, he sets a new record…. http://bit.ly/Y2zZMc it’s all filmed on GoPro cameras which seem to have taken over the world for action video, here’s another filmed with GoPro at Petit LeMans: http://bit.ly/Wn7uN4 The quality of the video is amazing for such a small camera.

Here’s something a bit different, chasing some downhill skateboarders, it’s surprising how fast they can go: http://bit.ly/12k0yn5 The car it’s being filmed from is a Volvo C30 Polestar….

This next one is a bit of fun (for us watching anyway!), the guys over at Roadkill decided to buy a car on route to a drag race, fix it up and then drag it! These guys have so much fun… http://bit.ly/VH1ZH5

Let it never be said we don’t have variety on Webclips, here’s a review of the new Audi RS5 by The Smoking Tyre, it’s always interesting to see these reviews especially when they refer to other cars…such as the BMW M3! http://bit.ly/WOHJo8

You are going to love this next video, especially if you like Alpina’s, Petrolicious have put together this video of a pair of E24 Alpina’s, looking around their workshop it looks like they could do a few more interesting videos. http://vimeo.com/57421694  It’s worth heading over to the Petrolicious web site for some other great videos http://vimeo.com/petroli one I especially like is this one of Jack Olsen’s 911, but not just that, it’s also the coverage of his brilliantly put together garage http://vimeo.com/57909173

Please don’t drive like this guy does in Georgia, the guy is a lunatic and it’s a wonder he  hasn’t killed someone yet, if he were a stuntman or drifter you’d say he was very good at what he does, however, on the streets it’s just crazy http://bit.ly/X5RIUh

How about some National Geographic? Probably not what you would expect though, they have a channel dedicated to supercars! This one covers the Pagani Huayra, fascinating stuff: http://bit.ly/YtSSd7

And finally, a quick video compilation of a few Hoon-I-Gan’s having fun…. http://bit.ly/UOJmBG
