When I saw this I immediately thought of Jabba

[blinkmeat]

The parallels are astounding don't you think?

[Chaos in 1983!]

I think that is Jabba!...that license plate on the 355 looks familiar to me..

[TeflonTron]

Yes, that's Jabba: the video is very old to say the least.

[blinkmeat]

Coolness 8)

Yes it is indeed my video, made for me by someone on http://www.automotiveforums.com/.

It was from about 150 years ago, and quite cringe worthy now :oops:

[Daggernite]

Cringe worthy?!?! how can that be? you have a Lambo and a Ferrari! I like how the flip up headlights come on and the music goes " yeah!!" I have a flip up headlight fetish btw.

[Jabba]

Horrible music, no engine sounds, dodgy red suit for starters... LOL...thank God, I have grown up a bit since then :P

So you only wear the suit around the house now?

[Jabba]

Well, only on halloween actually.

[fsandys]

Lol! Do you still have both those cars Jabba?

Do you have a daily driver too?

[Jabba]

Yes, and my trusty old bimmer for daily use, all are long overdue for updating I may add, its been talked to death on here many times though.

[Jabba]

I am still waiting for you to win the lottery and buy it for me :mrgreen:

[nthfinity]

If you dont keep the 355, i'm leaving JW :P


no, not really; but i can't find any single thing wrong with the 355 where its better in every way except speed, braking, and handling then those new fangled ferraris

[Jabba]

Well, I am not going to get into that one again, I already cause enough trouble in the political debate forum :mrgreen:

yeah, i know i know. :wink: 8)

[ARMAN]

Hey I havent seen this vid yet :P

[nthfinity]

All I could think about during that video was "damn, the 355 is a sexy car". Especially in convertible form, just mouthwatering. :) I don't think Ferrari has produced such a good looking car ever since.

Kinda funny how this video has made it's way back to JW, sort of inevitable tho, considering how big this forum is and how small the internet is.

the second or third time its made its way back to JW... ;)

somebody else even uploaded it to the VV i believe... or that was the one with the queen song "the show must go on" or something? id have to find it again

[ARMAN]

It was a different one Nth, there was more shooting and 348 + 993 footage :P Its somewere in VV :wink:

[TopGearNL]

Never seen this before :D

[tforth]

If distant memory serves me correct wasn't there another session with both of these cars at an air strip, where they were kind of just screwin around having fun. Or was this part of the same original 'full length' video? It was quite long as I remember.

Supercar Showdown, it turned into a DVD which was available to buy. By today standards, its full of shaking cameras, and such... but it was really quite a showing... 180mph? in the Diablo, whipping around bends at 100 mph... a good place to be a holigan ;)

Yes, I did a few videos long before the days of JW and when new car videos were fairly new on the internet (before everyone had broadband).

The airstrip video was done about a year after this was done though, and by todays standards they are all very poor. I am amazed that they still keep appearing from time to time around the internet.

I thought it was cool - any more in the pipeline?

[Jabba]

Sadly not.

[Pehtren]

Id like to see that DVD in the future, where do i find it or if i have to pay for it...Its no problem for me.

Nice old video... I would be proud 8) :P

I understand - Life gets pretty busy

/goes to watch Transformers ep. 2

[Jabba]

haha yeh, I also think you get more lazier and tired the older you get as well.

[blinkmeat]

God I hope that's not true in all areas or I'm gonna be pretty screwed

Maybe it's time for a new ride?

[Jabba]

But then I would have no excuse not to go out and make some more videos then :mrgreen:

[blinkmeat]

You caught that did you? :oops: :P

[Jabba]

hahaha, yeh :P
