Webclips 29

Hello,
Welcome to webclips, how about a trip down under to start, down to Bathurst 1985 to watch Roberto Ravaglia and Johnny Cecotto in the “Orange Bob Jane” car up against Kent Baigent  and Neal Lowe in the white car”: http://bit.ly/15XTT2e

Next up is Ryan Tuerck drifting his Toyota 1JZ engined car up a deserted mountain road, not everyones sup of tea but I quite like it, and you have to admit it takes some skill behind the wheel…  http://bit.ly/Wy5xd8

How about a motorcycle with a single wheel? I know, I thought it sounded mad too but when I watched the video I was amazed! This guy built this “contraption” based on a drawing his daughter showed him, the ingenuity is brilliant: http://bit.ly/XJ6UZZ

My top favourite is of course the E30, so here’s a bit of  the Tour de corse from 1992 with Patrick Bernardini, enjoy.. http://bit.ly/YFBvDG

Let’s get corporate for a minute or two with a video from BMW Performance, is it just me or do you also find the BMW narrator’s voice very “mechanical”?  You can find out more about the parts here:  http://www.bmw-mperformanceparts.com, anyway, here’s the video: http://bit.ly/YIQCi7

This one is a must see, it’s an inside view of the F30 3 series production facility, it just goes to show how few workers there are now in a production facility like this, many years ago when I worked at Jaguar cars an assembly line like the one seen in this video would be absolutely crawling with people….. http://bit.ly/XgKtf3

Another favourite of mine is Ken Block, normally he is seen on his own doing amazing things, spinning wheels and burning rubber, but how about Ken in a race? Well, this guy is committed (or should be!), just watch what he does when his car catches fire mid race… http://bit.ly/YSbEwv

Here’s a great video about a 2002, a channel called “Depth of Speed” went in search and found a beautiful Inka Orange edition, great video: http://bit.ly/VlcBxI

And finally, the crowds leaving Wembley…. http://bit.ly/YSaam1
