[OFFER] Some new video's

[1zippo1]

Thanks AlienDB7, I was allready afraid that I missed something because I didn't go on the pc for a while (examns). I suppose you're quite busy too. Thx for the video and good luck with your examns if you have any!!!

[numerouno]

thanx a bunch AlienDB7 prime stuff! :)

[Erez]

:D i haven't been here in a while!
looks like i've missed a lot!!
keep up the great work guys!
hope i could catch up again some day soon!

[1zippo1]

That Noble M12 report wasn't spectacular but still interesting.

If you see a movie like this you realise why a low volume supercar is so expensive.

Should have costed you some time to collect and edit all the pieces together.

[dons5]

umm part one and part 2 are the exact same videos lol

[TT]

Dude, part 1 and part 2 ARE obviously the same video. Just splitted in two with winrar to fit in two small webspaces :roll:

[AlienDB7]

You guys interested in the following show?

Spike TV's "AutoRox" car awards to air Tuesday evening

Santa Monica, California - The cable channel for men, Spike TV, will air its first AutoRox auto awards show on Tuesday January 25th from 9:00 to 10:30 pm (EST/PST). The event was pre-taped in Los Angeles on January 22nd.

During the telecast, Detroit's own Kid Rock rocked the house all night as he performed Cowboy and Son of Detroit. Legendary auto designer and race-car driver Carroll Shelby received the only award to a human being - The Icon Award - acknowledging a true giant in the auto industry. Jay Leno of the Tonight Show was featured in a taped tribute to Shelby.

Special appearances were made on the telecast: Vivica A. Fox, Beth Ostrosky, Brooke Burke, Amber Campisi (Miss February, Playboy Magazine), Randy Couture and Spike TV's resident car expert, Funkmaster Flex.

[TT]

Would be nice to see an episode and judge it :D

[dingo]

I already know some of the results...but would still be interesting :D

[AlienDB7]

Haven't been posting much lately. Anyway, I've uploaded couple of videos to zippo's webspace, hope you guys like them.

Great Cars - Morgan Aero 8.avi
Ultimate Cars - Mercedes Benz 540K Special Roadster.avi

[1zippo1]

thx for the new vids AlienDB7.

I've just read about the history of Morgan in a paper. And I must say it was very interesting. Morgan means threewheeled car. Because they stated with cars which had 2 wheels at the front and 1 at the back (you can see one in the video).

The impression I get from the American version of the Morgan Aero 8 is that it has lost it hard core sportyness in search for more lighter controlls. Anyway, the chassis probably still is very good so...

The end of the video says it all really. If you know the history of Morgan, you somehow appreciate the cars more.

[oantob]

thanks a bunch for the new videos! :mrgreen:
Just cant wait to watch...

Ronin005, check ur PM

Not much interesting vids to post these days, so I recorded the elise review from Car & Driver over the weekend.

Car & Driver - 2005 Lotus Elise.mpg (http://users.pandora.be/draak999/Car%20&%20Driver%20-%202005%20Lotus%20Elise.mpg)

Thanks for the video. It's quite nice!

I really like that color on the Elise. I understand the need for adaptation of the car to the market but the guy from Car & Driver is right. Normally they screw up the cars when they adapt it too the US market. When they import US cars in Europe on the other hand, the driving dynamics are gerenally improved :D So as a car freak I suppose I can call myself lucky for living in Europe.
The advantage of the Americans however is the low car & fuel prices however and that's not something you can easily ignore. 40.000 dollor for a Elise is about 30.000 euros and that seems cheaper then in Belgium.

20.000 dollar for an Elise (like the reviewer says)... sorry but that's a bit much too ask isn't it.

[AlienDB7]

A short but excellent clip from the PBS show Great Cars:

Great Cars - Ferrari - F40 and Enzo.avi (http://users.pandora.be/p997s/Great%20Cars%20-%20Ferrari%20-%20F40%20and%20Enzo.avi)

[gigdy]

thanks for the great vid

[dingo]

Thanks for the F40/Enzo vid, short but sweet :D
BTW, if your having trouble thinking of something to host I have a request :) I remember seeing an AMS review of the Lotus Exige with some awesome driving but never d/l a video of it anywhere.....if you have it I would love to d/l it :D

[AlienDB7]

As a matter of fact, I do have that video somewhere. Will upload it later in the week together with some new clips, hopefully ;)

[dingo]

Cool....can't wait, thanks :D

[T5]

F40/Enzo video is really nice! :D

[AlienDB7]

A repost for dingo and others who missed the AMS Exige video:

Auto Motor und Sport - Lotus Exige.mpg (http://users.pandora.be/draak999/Auto%20Motor%20und%20Sport%20-%20Lotus%20Exige.mpg)

[dingo]

Thanks very much mate......I love that video, great sounds and driving :shock:

[draak666]

Aah, a good old AMS video again. :D I've seen this one before, obviously, but it is so damn good.

Alien, when can we expect some new shows?

[AlienDB7]

Aah, a good old AMS video again. :D I've seen this one before, obviously, but it is so damn good.

Alien, when can we expect some new shows?
In the next month or so, I should be able to get some Jeremy Clarkson clips and videos from other shows. Most north american shows are on rerun lately so I dont even bother recording them.

[numerouno]

Thanx a bunch Alien! The Exige vid is stunning!

[1zippo1]

That exige video is certainly one of my favorite AMS vids!! One of the few (together with the TVR350C review) that I put on in the morning before I go to school. Just eating my cornflakes and waking everybody in the studenthome with the beautifull noise of the Exige :D

[ARMAN]

/\/\/\/\/\ :lol:

[AlienDB7]

Uploaded 3 new videos recorded from TV over the past week. The viper video is decent with both the comp coupe and the street car on the track.

Car And Driver - Tech Minute - Rotary Engines.mpg (http://users.pandora.be/p997s/Car%20And%20Driver%20-%20Tech%20Minute%20-%20Rotary%20Engines.mpg)

[maxbg]

Thanks.... :D

Always looking forward to your new videos. :!:

[1zippo1]

Thanks.... :D

Always looking forward to your new videos. :!:

same here! glad you've uploaded a few new videos!!

I had allready seen the "counterfeit mini" site but not the video, pretty cool :D

You're right about the Viper video. That's a nice one!! I've seen a new Viper racing from the Dutch Supercar Challange before and I've talked to one of the technicians. He said the new Viper isn't any competition for the old one because it only has 520hp... in the GT class that isn't that much. Still, it looks better then the first Viper IMO!

The explanation of the rotary engine was also nice. Not too short, not too long! I'm glad the RX-8 exists but it seems there was much more fuss about the RX-7 when that was launched...

[5vz-fe]

Thanks Alien for the new videos, I know how a rotary engine works for a long long time, but now I have a better way to explain to my "not so well informed" friends.

[lev_p]

Many thanks for the videos! As for the rotary engines - I hope they show one alive or cut open, since I saw only various drawings.

[nthfinity]

thankyou zippo... the viper video was great! and that trailer for the DVD, LMAO :lol: ... much better then the website itself, and the counterfit mini blowing up/not turning/ parking was quite satisfying ;)

[666fast]

Thanks for the videos! Particularly the Viper vid. When they showed the Competition Coupe crash, that was Canada Corner at Road America. I was at the race. You can't really tell, but right next to where he crashed, there are bleachers for people to sit. I saw the whole thing happen! You wouldn't believe the noise it made slamming into those tires! It was extremely loud.
It's hard ot tell because the video is in slow motion, but he slid off the track and through the sandtrap in a split second.

[AlienDB7]

Not much new for this week except for an american comparison of the C6 and 911 (997). You can probably guess which car won the comparison...

Car And Driver - Chevrolet Corvette C6 vs Porsche 911 997.avi (http://users.pandora.be/p997s/Car%20And%20Driver%20-%20Chevrolet%20Corvette%20C6%20vs%20Porsche%20911% 20997.avi)

[ARMAN]

Thanx Alien, nice vid :wink:

[numerouno]

Thanx for the Vette vs 911 vid, Alien. :)

[robruf]

AlienDB7, thanks alot for the C6 vs. 997 vid, great capture, there is something wrong with Car and Driver, they tested the standard 997 and not the Carrera S, otherwise the Porsche would have won because the Carrera that they tested was 70 hp lower than the C6. It only lost by one point as well, it outbraked and outhandled the C6.

[1zippo1]

It only lost by one point as well, it outbraked and outhandled the C6.

I agree with you Brembo. And if they wanted to compare the C6 to something in it's priceclass the 997 wasn't an option anyway, so why don't go to the model dynamically closest to the C6. Still a nice review though!

thx AlienDB7!!!

[dingo]

well there is already a big price difference between the C6 and the 997, so the 997 S would only widen that gap further :wink:
However no matter what they say I think most people (well non-Americans anyway :P) would take the 997 in a heartbeat......I love it, a big improvement over the 996 IMO by bringing back some styling cues from the sensational 993 :D
Thanks for the vid Alien, very enjoyable :D

[lakatu]

Thanks Alien for the video. I always love seeing the 997. BTW the host on the video, Larry Webster, is a 911 fan and if I remeber correctly has owned one himself.

Dingo not all Americans are stupid. We know a good thing when we see it too. That is why 1/2 of all Porsche sales are in the United States :P .

Personally, I would pay the $20k for the 911 rather than getting the vette. IMO there is more to driving a car than statistics and based on my personal preferences the intangible factors that the 911 possesses would make it worth the extra cash. For someone else who values other characteristics I could see how they could say the same thing about the vette. It is all a matter of personal preference IMO.

Having said that I think that it is rather amazing that Chevy has put together a car that is able to statistically speaking stay with the 911 for much less money. The same could be said for the M3. Although I am willing to bet the margins on the 911 are higher than the vettes. The rivalry between these two cars has been entertaining over the years. The vette had the upper hand on the track for most of the 80’s. But since then it has been rather close. For any year though my choice would be the 911 :wink: .

[AlienDB7]

Just posted couple of new videos to draak's webspace. Got a bit surprised at the performance diff by using regular (87) instead of premium (92) on the porsche.
Sports Car Revolution - Caterham 7 Roadsport SV.mpg (http://users.pandora.be/draak999/Sports%20Car%20Revolution%20-%20Caterham%207%20Roadsport%20SV.mpg)
Sports Car Revolution - Regular vs Premium Gasoline (Porsche on Dyno).mpg (http://users.pandora.be/draak999/Sports%20Car%20Revolution%20-%20Regular%20vs%20Premium%20Gasoline%20(Porsche%20 on%20Dyno).mpg)

Concerning the 911 vs. C6 issue, it's really hard to say which car is better. It's like comparison supermodels :mrgreen: If money isn't an issue, I would go for the 911 in a heartbeat!! But for whatever reason, I like the 996 just a little bit more, don't tell st-anger I said that :wink: shh!!!

[5vz-fe]

It is pretty surprising that only 5 hp difference between 94 and 87. I guess the bosch software is really that great.

[robruf]

Thought that there would be more of a difference between the two fuels, however if you all put in 87 as opposed to 94 your engine will definately suffer, thanks for the vid

[numerouno]

The low hp difference seems quite logical IMO, but the engine will run quite smoother with the 94 and that will defo do the engine good in long term use

[draak666]

Looking forward to seeing the result of the fuel comparison. However I'm a bit confused regarding the numbers. Over here we only have 95 and 98. Or do these numbers mean different things?

In an Autobild.de test with modest cars, higher octane didn't allways improve performance. Sometimes performance was even worse. :?


Another thing: I will need the website for a couple of days for some personal stuff (marriage pics, not my own... :D ) and I'll take the opportunity to change the name again. Obviously, I will inform you all on it's new name in this thread.

Hurry to download the vids! I'll leave them for a day or two, and reopen the site in about 10 days. Thanks for understanding. :wink:

[AlienDB7]

Fuels in the U.S. are described in terms of their "Pump Octane", which is the average of "RON" (Research Octane Number) and "Motor Octane Number". Labels on gasoline pumps in the U.S. typically describe this as the "(R+M)/2 Method".

Some nations describe fuels according to the traditional "RON" or "MON" ratings, so Octane ratings cannot always be compared with the equivalent U.S. rating by the "(R+M)/2 method".

In most of Europe, petrol is unleaded and available in 95 (Eurosuper) and 98 (Super Plus) octanes; in some countries 91 octane petrol is offered as well. Some stations offer 98 RON with lead substitute. In the UK, leaded 99/100 RON petrol has been reintroduced (legally) on a very limited basis for use by classic car enthusiasts and racers by the independent oil company Bayford Thrust (also the UK licensees of the famous Gulf Oil brand).
AFAIK, lower octane gas has higher BTU so if the engine isn't designed for higher octane, you'll lose power if you use it.

Hope you had fun at the wedding and the parties ;)

[AlienDB7]

Posted a new video about the Sakar kit car from new zealand (250hp and 1675lbs):

Sports Car Revolution - Saker.mpg (http://users.pandora.be/p997s/Sports%20Car%20Revolution%20-%20Saker.mpg)

Can't find much info through google so it should be a rare car 8)

[ARMAN]

Thanx Alien, comparing to vids we see here those guys drive as granny's :lol:

[AlienDB7]

Thanx Alien, comparing to vids we see here those guys drive as granny's :lol:
Yea, typical north american videos. What a shame consider what the car can do :oops:

[kksh]

No only like granny's the track's really small as well. Can't they really push the car to its limits and show us all what the car can do? Or is it not possible to show irresponsible driving behavior there in the states?

[Iwan]

Hi Guys.....

i need your professionalism....
i'm desperately searching the web for some decent Maserati 3200 GT
videos since i'm seriously considering to get one of those crackers....

i do have some short clips (basically exhaust and sound files) but
sort of testreport or something else would do it......

so, please if you got something send me a PN.

i would really appreciate this...folks.....

of course, once i got my dreamcar i will share this with you ;-)
timescope is between 3 - 6 months....

cheers
iwan

[dingo]

I remember there was an old TG video which featured the 3200GT.....I think it was a big vid with the Diablo GT and something else in it :?
Try sites like Racingflix or sleepy-fish, you might have some luck :wink: I don't know the exact rules on members sharing these vids......so I better not offer to send it to you :)
It might be a good idea to start a seperate topic for this as many people won't look in here :wink:

[graywolf624]

lower octane gas has higher BTU so if the engine isn't designed for higher octane, you'll lose power if you use it.

Rather octane also denotes the resistance to ignite as well as the higher energy potential.
When the chamber lights the flame goes along in a line. At to low an octane this flame will jump igniting some of the fuel in front of the line before it reaches it. It does this curtosy of the temperature in the chamber. This is known as preignition and causes things like misfires/ect on the low scale. On the high scale it'll cause not all of your fuel to ignite if you go to far. The reality is all engines work best with the fuel they are tuned for (timing and what not).

[AlienDB7]

Hi Guys.....

i need your professionalism....
i'm desperately searching the web for some decent Maserati 3200 GT
videos since i'm seriously considering to get one of those crackers....
There's a Top Gear video comparing the Diablo GT, DeTomaso Mangusta and Maserati 3200 GT. It's from the old top gear featuring Tiff and Vicki.

Do a search on racingflix's site with the term "3200", you should be able to find 2 videos.

[yg60m]

I have a test of a 3200 GT but it's a french test from Turbo and I can't upload it as I am now in 56k :?

[1zippo1]

AlienDB7, thx for the latest video's!

I've posted a little video from turbo.fr about the BMW M5 & M6

I just got it from the site, but this is easier for some people so...

http://users.pandora.be/p997s/turbo.fr%20-%20BMW%20M5%20&%20M6.wmv

[ARMAN]

Thanx Zippo! Excelenzt vid imo, great shooting when they driving slow and turn on the track :P

[dingo]

Thanks Zippo, even though I didn't understand a word it was still very entertaining :D Some very nice drifting action, although more engine/exhaust sound would have been nice :)
Personally I would take the M6 over the M5 - its a bit quicker and looks better IMO :D

[AlienDB7]

Thanks zippo, turbo videos are always nice.

Haven't been able to cap anything lately, been occupied with work and couple other projects. AMS should start again on DW-World in June, hopefully PBS will show they again.. if not, I'll have to figure out how to save the stream from DW :roll:

[1zippo1]

It's not like I have any use for the webspace so you're free to use it as long as you like. No matter if you cap anything every week or not. I can completely understand, I haven't been on JW lately because of school but downloaded the videos so ... :oops:

[noosee]

Many thanks for this vid.
I would not pay 30 K extra over M5 for M6.

[szumszer]

thanks a lot, those are two beautiful cars, and turbo videos are always entertaining and well made, I can still remember their stuff on enzo and slr, magical ... I too would prefer M6 over M5, it looks wider and tends to lean over less in corners, but if it is true that pricing is 30.000 euro higher than M5, then I would perhaps reconsider, afterall M5 is quite alright and supposedly bmw will make a manual for the US market, that certainly sounds nice; thanks again

[ARMAN]

Zippo or Alien, some cunt posted link here: http://www.sportbilen.se/d_movies.php?go=0 cut it out :wink:

[1zippo1]

I'm now uploading that Tony Mason review of the Cooper S since some people didn't have it

http://users.telenet.be/p997s/Top%20Gear%20-%20Mini%20Cooper%20S%20Mk1-Tony%20Mason.avi

It's not as nice as the recent Top Gear features, but still worth downloading IMO!!

[ARMAN]

Wowaaa!! There is John Cooper himself in the vid :shock: Thanx alot Zippo, I couldnt find it on the net :P

[Kiran]

I think I have some others that I can perhaps post, but I should find some program to make a list of the Top Gear vids on my HD.

[ARMAN]

You have old TG episodes? :shock: Wich???

[1zippo1]

You have old TG episodes? :shock: Wich???

Euhm, sorry ARMAN but I think you've misunderstood me (Kiran is my second account). I mean, I have some other short features from the old Top Gear.

[ARMAN]

:P So bring them on! Which do you have? I have 924 vs rx7 only

[graywolf624]

Thanks Zippo. I have a few of the old movies, but this one is new to me.

[AlienDB7]

Thanks zippo for the old Top Gear MINI Cooper video. Even though it's not one of the Tiff, Jeremy, Vicki era videos, it's still very entertaining. Look at Tony Mason's face when he was driving the MINI on the highway, he must be thinking "I don't want to crash this car at this speed" :mrgreen:

Looking back at the pricing of cars more than a decade ago, you can really notice the INFLATION! £1299 for a Mini? You can't even get a working used car for that much these days. I wish I can take my money and spend back in time :lol:

[graywolf624]

you can really notice the INFLATION!
Not technically inflation... More increase in regs and whats minimally expected in features in a car.

[1zippo1]

I'm back at my student home so I don't have the videos here.

When my examns are finished in a few weeks I'll make a list and you can tell me what you want me to post (as long as AlienDB7 doesn't use the webspace of course)

glad you enjoyed the video! It was one from the RF days when I used google to search for top gear videos :D

[draak666]

Now that you guys mention it, I have had a look at the RF website again. Many clips on there of which I completely forgot they existed. I can't remember having downloaded them all, but I'm sure I have all of them somewhere on some cds :D .

Arman, if you didn't know Racingflix, then you should definitely start your search for old TG stuff there!

Alien, if you like, my site is available again. The new name is http://users.telenet.be/draak187/

[ARMAN]

Thanx Draak666 :wink: I think Demon taught us some time ago how to find and get the vids from RF :mrgreen:

[AlienDB7]

Just came across a Ferrari F40 feature on TV. The F40 is slightly tuned with 500+ hp and beefier brakes and calipers. Great sound ;)

Dream Car Garage - Ferrari F40.mpg (http://users.telenet.be/draak187/Dream%20Car%20Garage%20-%20Ferrari%20F40.mpg)

Thanks draak for hosting the video.

[TT]

Thank you!! ;)

[ARMAN]

Thanx Draak and Alien! F40 is always welcomed :P

Excelent sound and looks :drool: but race track doesnt look very good :? if you go offroad you definitly loose some spoiler

[dingo]

Yep great video - the F40 is an awesome can in standard form so this one must be insane to drive :D The sound is sensational.....can't get tired of it!!! :D
Thanks Alien and draak :wink:

[DeMoN]

thanx for this one... Im sure AL123 is gonna piss in his pants when he sees this one!

[yg60m]

Thanks mates :D

[sikx5]

damn that was some nice footage, Thanks for the vid fellas, Quality stuff!! :D

[numerouno]

holee sheet! thanks for the f40 alien!!! awesome stuff :shock:

[AlienDB7]

At last, the English version of AMS is back! I don't get it on PBS anymore but managed to get some caps off DW's TV stream. Scroll up for zippo's webspace url :wink:

Auto Motor und Sport - Ford Mustang Convertible.wmv
Auto Motor und Sport - Mercedes ML vs BMW X5 vs Porsche Touareg Diesel.wmv
Auto Motor und Sport - Motorcycle MV Augusta vs Ferrari 550 GTS.wmv

Thanks to zippo for hosting the videos ;)

You guys know of any good WMV recording program with scheduling? Recording manually at 3:30am isn't good on weekdays... :|

[ARMAN]

Thanx Alien and Zippio :wink:

[dingo]

Thanks guys :D
The M6 video was pretty good since I love that car, but one comment the guy made was just stupid - "The M6 has the same 507hp as the M5, but the M6 is lighter, and its power to weight ratio is even better" :lol: No shit that if its got the same power but weighs less that the power to weight ratio will be better! :?
I didn't expect such a difference between the bike and the 550, although I guess you have to remember one is a street version and the other a full blown racer. :) They both make a beautiful sound though, great video. :D

[draak666]

Yes! AMS is back. Cheers, Alien! :D

[Schwalbe]

That's a good news the return of AMS. Thanx Alien and Zippo for those vids ! :D

[chest3r]

Nice videos! Thanks a lot 8)

The Mustang covertible looks really good.

[1zippo1]

Yihaaaaa!! AMS is back, cool!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing the 55GTS & M6 videos.

BTW: I also liked the F40 review very much.

Thx for posting those nice vids AlienDB7. The things you manage to do with just 50meg webspace is astonoshing!! :D

[AlienDB7]

More great AMS features, looks like AMS is on a roll here. From 15hp 1 cylinder to race-bred V12s, it's the battle of the thoroughbreds :wink:

Fearsome threesome:
the Maserati MC 12, the Porsche Carrera GT, and the Mercedes SLR -
who is king of the road?

Don't forget to crank up the volume on the CGT vs SLR vs MC12 video!

[dingo]

thanks Alien, some of us have seen the CGT v SLR v MC12 video but in German last week - it will be good to have an English version also. :D

You are right about the sound - TURN YOUR SPEAKERS UP!!

[TT]

Thank you Alien!

[Wutputt]

thanks Alien, some of us have seen the CGT v SLR v MC12 video but in German last week - it will be good to have an English version also. :D

You are right about the sound - TURN YOUR SPEAKERS UP!!

Thanks for the vids. I still prefer the original German voice over, it just sounds better with this review, and the German voice tells everything with more passion. Though the English version comes in handy since I don't understand everything the German guy said :D


As for the sound, I completely agree: pull the volume to the max and enjoy. Maybe the neighbours won't enjoy it that much, but that's only a minor disadvantage:)

[ARMAN]

Thank you Alien! :P

[ViperASR]

mmmmm M6, I love it. Thanks man

[yg60m]

Thanks a lot for these videos Alien !!! Great sounds :D
BUt I don't know a wmv recorder with a scheduler, do you always wake up at 3h30 ? :?

[numerouno]

Hey Alien! thanx a bunch for the new vids esp. the MC12 vs CGT vs SLR vid :D
a pity theres no enzo in the test :(

[AlienDB7]

Thanks a lot for these videos Alien !!! Great sounds :D
BUt I don't know a wmv recorder with a scheduler, do you always wake up at 3h30 ? :?
After some more searching (thanks google), I've found one (SDP) that works reasonably well as long as my connection to euro sites is okay. It doesn't seem to handle bad connection as well as WM Recorder which I used previously.

My sleeping schedule is kinda messed up these days, have to stop waking up in the middle of the night :oops:

Hey Alien! thanx a bunch for the new vids esp. the MC12 vs CGT vs SLR vid :D
a pity theres no enzo in the test :(
Maybe I'm seeing double, I swear I saw a white Enzo in the video! :wink:

[lev_p]

THanks, ALien, nice vids :)

[MIHALS]

thanx man!!!
I think Peugeot makes mistake with no producing of 907... :(
the BIG TRIO is just amazing, THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

[martin100]

Now that AMS-TV is back at your location, i can tell you that there has just been another high-speed test at Nardo which aired last Sunday here in Germany. It was devided in two parts and therefore a bit longer than the one last year which was only one part :P It was entertaining as always and you guys should like it although i think it was not as good as the ones of the last years cause they didn´t even show the speed listings at the end (they promised to show them in a later show)...

[sheruken]

Awesome update there Alien!
You're the man, Dawg :D..

[AlienDB7]

Posted couple of new AMS videos from this week's show :wink:

martin10: I'll look out for the nardo high speed test, love the previous ones!

[1zippo1]

AlienDB7 is kicking ass!!!

Thanks for all the new videos. Especially that hot hatch comparison is something I'm interested in!!

I hope it's the TDI Ibiza that's used in the test. Never heard of the Brabus ForFour... This should be interesting.

Thx again, this is some very nice relaxation terapy for just after an examn!!!

[ARMAN]

Grazy germans :mrgreen: Attention whore with no use for carring things :lol:

Thanx Alien :wink:

[AlienDB7]

Grazy germans :mrgreen: Attention whore with no use for carring things :lol:

Thanx Alien :wink:
On the other side of the spectrum, you have the practicality is everything sweds. Got another AMS feature of a Saab 9-3 Sport Estate (260hp turbo V6), want it? :lol:

[ARMAN]

Yes pleez :P

[draak666]

I have yet to see the first moving images of the new saab 93 estate. I'm very curious.

[ARMAN]

Yea, thanx Draak for BW and hosting space :wink:

[yg60m]

Thanks mates :D

[AlienDB7]

[Ghostbat]

Thanks for posting!

Nice diss of the Saab..

[draak666]

I hope this 93 estate will be a success for saab. They're a brand that dares to follow it's own path and doesn't put profit first.

I like it. My only objections are the chrome strip at the back (why the hell is it there?), and the interior, which is as always with saab too plasticky. My advice is to go for the wood-finished dash. :wink:

[ARMAN]

Thanx Alien & Draak :P

[giby]

I love AMG, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AMG RULLZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who is witch me??????????? :D

[dingo]

^ whats that got to do with this topic?

[draak666]

YYYYEAAAAH!!!! AMG WOOOOW!!!!!

Seriously, I don't know. :?

[ARMAN]

I love AMG, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AMG RULLZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who is witch me??????????? :D

YEA!!!!.... and........ Michael Jackson is a KING OF POP!!!!!! :shock: :lol:

[AlienDB7]

AMG? Looks like someone mixed up Brabus with AMG :mrgreen:

Anyhow, recorded a nice drifting video with the new '05 GTO (or Monaro for everyone outside US :wink:) over the weekend. IMO, it's better than the old one from Speed Channel last year. Thanks to zippo for hosting the vid.
Speed Channel Test Drive - 2005 Pontiac GTO (Drifting at Arizona Firebird Raceway).avi (http://users.telenet.be/p997s/Speed%20Channel%20Test%20Drive%20-%202005%20Pontiac%20GTO%20(Drifting%20at%20Arizona %20Firebird%20Raceway).avi)

Still have to check other shows I recorded, a little bit behind on car stuff lately :oops:

[dingo]

Thanks Alien, a cool video. Its always nice to see a Monaro (or GTO) in action - sure looks pretty capable as a drift machine. :D

[oantob]

thanks for the vids, that porsche sure is one of a kind..but too bad its useless :wink:

[1zippo1]

Nice video indeed. First I thought it was a repost of that video of last year. Tom seems to have improved his drifting skills. The monaro/GTO looks better with those air intakes on the bonnet. You hear a lot of good things about the car, but the styling still doesn't do it for me.

thx for the new video!!!

[ARMAN]

Well, not a nice cars at all imo but ALOT of power to give :)
Thanx Alien and... whos space is this? Zippo? Thanx :wink:

[AlienDB7]

Well, not a nice cars at all imo but ALOT of power to give :)
How about some nice cars with MORE power? :mrgreen:

And Happy Canada Day!!! Time to head out and celebrate :wink:

[Ghostbat]

Thanks for the new videos AlienDB7.

Always cracks me up when someone mentions leafsprings and sportscars in the same sentence. Must say that the Vette is very good bang for buck, at least in the states. Much pricier where I live. Seriously doubt that it's one of the best sportscars in the world but the Americans are very patriotic.

The narrator in the AMS - Nardo clip talked about Brabus implanting the V12 from the 6-class. Is it my ears that let me down or what?

[ARMAN]

Thanx Alien :P From C6 and 997 - I'd take 997 :) The C6 price in America is so ubeliavably low :?

[Schwalbe]

Thank you infinitely AlienDB7 for this AMS special annual episode at Nardo. The 9ff GT2 is awesome ! :twisted:

I hope to see part 2 very soon. :D



The narrator in the AMS - Nardo clip talked about Brabus implanting the V12 from the 6-class. Is it my ears that let me down or what?

I heard that too Ghostbat. LOL ! Perhaps the AMS translator heard the number "Sechs" (6) in the place of the letter "S". :hmm:

[AlienDB7]

I notice the "6-class" comment too. Perhaps someone had sloppy writing and wrote "S" as "6" :lol: Anyway, part 2 of the nardo shootout is the feature for this week. I think it's a little bit too short. The porsche C4S video features Walter Rohrl in monte carlo while the MG got a nice workout at the 'ring :wink:

[leo_26782]

:D Thanks for all those great videos!!

I tried to fix the link for the MG, but I get the same problem when submitting it :? , so you guys will have to have some imagination :wink:

[5vz-fe]

Thanks Alien....Its unfortunate I think that it is the 4S, if it's just a 911, I am sure we'll see some tail out action.

[TT]

Thanks Alien....Its unfortunate I think that it is the 4S, if it's just a 911, I am sure we'll see some tail out action.

Nope, it's indeed the new 997 Carrera 4 S

[draak666]

It's a pity that a lot in the Nardo video is filmed at night. I guess it has something to do with the temperature... :(

[TT]

Temperature but also oxygen in the air I think

[dingo]

Thanks Alien - a couple of enjoyable videos there. :D

[1zippo1]

I was waiting for that second part of the high speed challange. The two other videos also sound great, thx Alien!!!

[yg60m]

Thanks again mates, for videos and hosting :D

[Schwalbe]

Thanks Alien for the second part of AMS Nardo special. The 997 C4S video with Walter Rohrl was great too ! :D

[stmoritzer]

Thanks AlienDB7 for the recent link !

Enjoyed the Carrera 4S and the Nardo videos :D

[iraghava]

Thanks a ton Alien. Really enjoyed the Nardo videos, shame about the 2nd part being so small though.

[shockwave racing]

Temperature but also oxygen in the air I think

has a little to do with it but not much... the major reason they drove at night is because Nardo is booked out nearly all year round by manufacturers seeking a consistent high speed test facility...

[oantob]

Thanks Alien for that wonderful videos you posted... :mrgreen:

[AlienDB7]

this time ams tv tested the alpina b5 vs. the bmw m5,the new 3series touring and the karmann ghia with porsche engine that was already on motorvision

[dingo]

Thanks Alien - the sound in the F430 video is stunning!! :D

I also really like that line about the Vipers aerodynamics..... :lol:

[gucom]

[martin100]

I saw the vids you just upped on TV and they were all great! Thanks!
Last Sunday there was an awesome comparison between an E60 M5 and an 2005 Alpina B5. Absolutely awesome driving and sound scenes that must not be missed by any BMW enthusiast :D

[yg60m]

EDIT: found the song name - Paolo Conte Song: Via Con Me :D

[AlienDB7]

Like martin said, the M5 vs. B5 comparison is very nice. Good driving and sound! The Karmann Ghia one is good too.

@ Phobo
The AMS-TV episodes that are aired now are summer specials that only contain old clips from last season. So nothing new to expect from those :cry:

Same here, no AMS til mid August. Hopefully they'll have something cool in store for us when it's back from summer break :wink:

Nothing spectacular this week. Just a SUV comparison and review of the electric sports car from Venturi. For some reason, the Fetish reminds me of the VX220.

That would be appreciated.

[yg60m]

Thanks again mates for ripping and hosting :D

[martin100]

Unbelievable that this Fetish costs about the same as a CGT or Enzo. Don´t really know if they gonna sell well :roll:

[nthfinity]

thanks alien!
this review of the Fetish was much much much better then the one on 5th gear... although its still hard to imagine not wanting to hear some raspy exhaust note :roll:

[pagani]

Love the review of the porsche gt3 engined karmann Ghia.
Look like a real blast to drive.
The porsche gt3 engine is stock good for 380 ps why has the engine only 320 ps not the full 380 ps???

[yg60m]

I already have a video of the Brabus Maybach, and I think it was from you too. Is it the same ?

[dingo]

Thanks guys - the 575 SA vid was great! :D

[oantob]

Thanks Alien and Draak! Those vids from AMS are great, the Alpina B5 is more individual then the M5...

[martin100]

Actually the summer break is not over yet, at least here in Germany. I´ve already seen the last three vids you upped lately some weeks ago. The Brabus Maybach vid is almost a year old if i´m not wrong...

[iraghava]

Thanks Alien the Mayback & 575 SA videos are great.

[martin100]

Summer break now over in Germany aswell :D There was a nice Ferrari F430 vs Lambo Gallardo comparison last week.

[AlienDB7]

While waiting for AMS' return in Oct..

MotorWeek - Aston Martin DB9.avi (http://users.telenet.be/p997s/MotorWeek%20-%20Aston%20Martin%20DB9.avi)

Thanks zippo for hosting the vid.

[nthfinity]

excellent, im looking forward to watching this video.

thanks alien, and zippo :D

[yg60m]

Thanks for the new vid mates :D

[1zippo1]

Thx for the DB9 review, one remark though. WTF did the reviewer said in the beginning of the review: the DB9 keeps the long hood and the lines of the James Bond DB7. I don't remember the DB7 ever being a James Bond car. Or is it just me??

[AlienDB7]

Thx for the DB9 review, one remark though. WTF did the reviewer said in the beginning of the review: the DB9 keeps the long hood and the lines of the James Bond DB7. I don't remember the DB7 ever being a James Bond car. Or is it just me??
Yea, I was thinking about the exact same thing too. Either he "mixed up" the legendary DB5 with the DB7 or (most likely) he was just delivering the lines.

When I'm watching MotorWeek, I always have the impression that he's reading the commentary out, nobody really talks like that in real life??

Just checked the TV schedule, this week they're showcasing the Pontiac Solstice. Should be interesting.

[Johns]

the Kharman ghia video was sweeet!!!!!!!!!! I would love to have that lil car:D

thnx for the vids!!!

[AlienDB7]

Just watched and recorded this show called Greatest Ever on the discovery channel. It's an episode on Sports Cars. Jabba actually posted it a while back and like he said, the rankings don't really make sense.

Anyway, I've made clips for the Enzo, McLaren F1 and Aston DB5. Tell me what you think of the quality, I'm switching to 640x480 XviD now.

Been having a bit of problem with my TV tuner lately, the audio seems to get corrupted half of the time :|

[SPEED_DEMON82]

OOOoo another Enzo vid ....... i just dunnn have any other words other than the plain thanx ... to thank you Alien.Well all i can do here in India is watch vids of these awesome cars cuz im sure im never gonna see an Enzo in my town, although we have quite a few Lambos and Ferraris :D

Anybody willing to share/upload it again? (megaupload,....)

[FPVPSI]

Great videos...

The greatest car ones are great, allways good to see two magnificent cars in detail...

Thanks guys!

[SL55 AMG]

Hey thanks a lot for the greatest car videos of the Enzo and Mclaren F1. Great video on both, especially the Tiff footage in the Mclaren :wink: I forgot who said it though but it was funny.... They said the Mclaren F1 could beat a Formula 1 car.:roll: ....hmmmmm not sure about that one

Well thanks again guys for the videos, much appreciated

[AlienDB7]

The Aston DB5 one has been posted:

Favourite quote from the video: "if you light up a cigarette, you might go bang and explode because the fume is so great inside the cockpit."

[yg60m]

Thanks for these vids mate, I didn't know them ... and they are nice !!

[inso]

sl55amg, at some speeds mclaren road car could beat f1 car, but f1 car is adjustable so it can be fixed for lower drag and so on. But on a normal race form, it is not constantly faster than mclaren f1 road car.

[gigdy]

Could someone out the recent mclaren one in the vault. Or anyother method that id be able to get it :( :D Thanks

[Stikz]

Thanks for the vid guys :D

[AlienDB7]

Could someone out the recent mclaren one in the vault. Or anyother method that id be able to get it :( :D Thanks

[AlienDB7]

Got a bit bored over the weekend so I capped couple of clips from MotorWeek. Used a slightly higher resolution of 480x352. Let me know if you're having problem.

MotorWeek - 2005 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.avi (http://users.telenet.be/p997s/MotorWeek%20-%202005%20Ferrari%20612%20Scaglietti.avi)

The HEMI one is kinda interesting, seeing them putting the HEMI in things from paper shredder to trike :mrgreen:

[RAMMIUS]

Thx for the vids Alien , but Scaglietti`s time 0-60mph , isn`t a little too much ?

I think it does 0-62mph in 4.2

[yg60m]

Thanks mate, looks interesting :D

[yg60m]

Mate, I have to say that you are the king of encoding :shock: Your vids are smooth and the quality/size ratio is impressive !!

[Schwalbe]

Thanks Alien for the HEMI Contest video. I read this funny thing in a Daimler/Chrysler magazine, now it's cool to see video of this ! :D

Mate, I have to say that you are the king of encoding :shock: Your vids are smooth and the quality/size ratio is impressive !!
i second that.. cant wait for you to make us a 700MB rip of something.. 8)

[AlienDB7]

A small update, a short clip from the Z06 review on Speed Channel. Just a teaser on what the review is :wink:
Speed Channel Test Drive - Corvette Z06 with C6R (clip).avi (http://users.telenet.be/p997s/Speed%20Channel%20Test%20Drive%20-%20Corvette%20Z06%20with%20C6R%20%28clip%29.avi)

Next, Test Drive returns to the States to hook up with 4-time NASCAR Champion Jeff Gordon at Road Atlanta. To get the party started, Tommy Kendall and Johnny O’Connell hit the track in separate Z06’s. Kendall and O’Connell are both experienced racers who hate to give up an inch on the track...and with the Z06 capable of producing a top speed of 198 mph and sticking a 1.04 lateral g-force load, things are bound to get a little testy!

Gordon, one of the biggest stars in American sports, joins the fray to share his impressions on how far Corvette has come, how it compares to the world’s other top sports cars, and how the car is not only easy on the eyes, but performs like no other.

There's problem with the tv signal half way through the programme so I'll have to rerecord it from next week's rerun...

[gigdy]

hurray, one of the first reviews. Its too bad the one on speedchannel will be a gay infomercial.

[graywolf624]

Your making an insult to infomercials there. American magazine shows suck. That being said at least theres the benefit that it's my home track...

Road Atlanta in the speed movie, not vir.

[RC45]

I don't even remember seeing this thread... or if I did... I was high on Red Bull.. :P

Looks like I have being missing out on some good stuff.

Thanks :)

Small update this week with a clip from the discovery channel about the carbon fibre AC Cobra Mk V.

http://users.telenet.be/p997s/Daily%20Planet%20-%20AC%20Cobra%20Mk%20V.avi

[gigdy]

thanks, the cobra is such a beautiful car.

[Schwalbe]

Thanks Alien for the Z06 video. It's appreciated ! :D

[1zippo1]

thx for all the latest videos. The Z06 looked very fast and composed round that track.

That is one seriously fast car, Top Gear should do a feature on it. Even if they don't import it into Europe.

[Erez]

thanks man 8)

[stmoritzer]

Thanks AlienDB7 for the Cobra file !

Thanks again for these vids mates. I think I have the Saleen and Brabus vids in high quality (mp4 file) but they are in german so now I will be able to understand what they say :wink:

[ARMAN]

Thank you Alien and Draak! :P Havent checked this thread for a looong time :oops:

Brabus is a mean mother@cker :twisted: Saleen is still looking very attractive but due to the price I doubt that I see many them here in Czech :(

[No.1]

Thanks for the Brabus CLS video.... not seen this car in action yet

Long time since i checked this thread... missed some good stuff, but only got myself to blame

[AlienDB7]

I just came across some old Top Gear episodes from 1991 the other day. One of the features has Tiff testing the old Jag XJR15 at Silverstone. Enjoy!

Capped another video today from Speed Channel, the "review" of '06 Civic Si. Nothing special, but Danica Patrick is there to give the usual sales pitch. Either Tommy is slow or the excess weight really matters.

Don't want to waste space/bandwidth on zippo and draak's webspace so I put it on rapidshare. Feel free to share it with your fellow ricers :mrgreen:

[Erez]

lol :) maybe next time you could use another free host.. rapidshare is now the worst one! with all the bullshitthey add.. as if it was too good :roll:

[nthfinity]

thanks for the XJR15 review by tiff!
that was brilliant, classic tiff in every way... and what tiff review isnt complete with near spin oversteer (remember the enzo?) :twisted:

[Gilles27]

Wow! thanks for the "megajag" review no many vids around... and if Tiff test it better than ever.
In these days Tiff was a very respectable endurance race driver, wasn´t it?

[dangerously_cool]

Are there any new topgear episodes?

[Kiran]

thanks for the jaguar review AlienDB7!!!

[AlienDB7]

The Detroit PBS stopping airring Auto Motor und Sport a while back (probably complaints by the american auto workers for "damages" to their job security :lol:)

So I only get it from DW-World (online) right now. It's been on hiatus lately, it should be back sometime in December however. Havent been keeping up with things lately, it's the final exam / project period for me again :|

Hey AlienDB7,

Thx for all the recent videos you've posted. Never heard about that Leopard before so it was an interesting watch!

I'm sorry but I had to delete one video on the webspace because I needed to use it for school purposes. However, that won't be long (just a few days) and then I'll delete it again. Excuse me for the inconvenience, I'll re-upload the Leopard video afterwards!

greetings

BTW, have a nice new years evening!!

[Ghostbat]

Thanks AlienDB7. Must say that I'm not a big fan o riced supercars though.

[Wutputt]

Thanks a lot AlienDB7 for the vids. I'm looking forward watching them!
