Idiots on a test drive

[666fast]

Heh, I don't speak German, so I haven't got a clue as to what is going on,but that is part of what makes it so funny.

www.vtm.be = belgian (be)

I'm going to watch it now

[666fast]

Wierd, you got it to work, but from what it looks like, you did exactly what I did. :?

[SplitVision8]

yeah, it's a little tricky...don't know why it didn't work when you did it

[1zippo1]

I told you they made weird car tests in Belgium. This is one again with a "celebrity". Does anyone know how I can download it? Tried WMRecoder 4.1. And I can't use streambox (is it hard?)

[666fast]

I don't know. I tried save target as and I thought it worked, but nope.

[1zippo1]

I will explain what's happening. The guy with the blond hare is the celebrity (wacko) and the other dude is the reviewer. In this movie they try to prove that the Smart is a good car. They say it has good off road capacities (driving in the field). You can use it instead of a tractor because it has huge loading capacities (the hay). So it's one of a kind!

That's basically it, but I must admit, that was funny :lol:

Most of the time the show is just boring.

Are there more streaming video's? because I couldn't find where you found this one.

[666fast]

I picked that one up from another forum I visit, so I don't know. Sorry!

[1zippo1]

found it :) http://www.vtm.be/autowereld/autowereldtv.php

now just find a way to download them to my hd

[1zippo1]

Damn, can't find it. If someone does, plz let me know. I would like to show this to a couple of friends.

I'm off to bed. See you folks tomorrow

[SilviaS15Cwest]

That was half way funny half way just wierd... :| :?:

[AlienDB7]

Tried ASFRecorder and StreamboxVCR, not working. The direct link is mms://mms.web.vmma.be/vtm/glimmerenglatter/afl6_auto.wmv in case anyone else want to try it.

If you guys really want to save it, I still have other ways to record it :)

[Flawless]

Cause they spell it "humour" :lol:

[novass]

nice vid 666...crazy Germans LOL

[1zippo1]

They're not German's. They are Belgian's!!!

[novass]

my mistake :?

[coombsie66]

Yeah humour is well different over here, we laugh at funny things!!!!!!!! Not 2 tossers in a smart car, with skin tight t-shirts on!!

although being belgian, i haven't seen this on television.
i won't try to explain what they are saying, someone has already done that is think. but as i understand every word of it, it's quite funny. you have to know the 2 guys in the video of course. both are very good, somewhat controversial, tv-makers. it's strange that many reckon this to be a german movie. they don't talk like germans at all. and i would seriously doubt the germans would do this sort of things with a german car. they're way too serious for that. the smart is after all a very laughable car, but i like the concept. just wouldn't want to be in one on a motorway between 2 trucks.

well, that's been my first post on this site, and i am pleased to notice a little interest in belgium. although as someone else has already mentioned, we do not have a decent car show. top gear rules...

in case you want to know, i drive a gold metallic volvo v40 1.9d 102 hp, a rough fifth of a diablo one might say. a new car's coming in august, exactly the same as the present one, just another color; i'll miss the gold, it's fantastic.

[haha604]

Damn at first I thought it was filmed by some amatuers. THx to zippo1 I now understand a large part of it.

Belgian television has got a new take on car reviews haha. I wonder if it will do the same to some expensive motors like the S Class.

[draak666]

I saw one of these guys (Luk Alloo) drive Jean marie Pfaff's (pretty famous Belgian goalkeeper) XJ Jaguar once. He managed to hit a speed bump pretty hard with it :D .

By the way: speedbumps are a real pain in the as here in Belgium. Are there any countries where there aren't any, or is it also spreading in other parts of Europe and the world?

There sure is no sign of stopping these speed bumps. Here in Canada parking lots with speedbumps are the norm. The government even put bumps on public roads that are near schools or playgrounds. I am all for driving under the speed limits near school zones but in some places the gov't doesn't even bother to paint the bumps. I've bottemed out my car quite a few times since I couldn't see the bumps :(

About speed bumps, Switzerland is no exception: you can find them in parking lots and in public roads where it's needed to slow down a lot (schools and so on..) pretty annoying... we have an appartement in the Alps and our street there has 9 speed bumps on after the other (maybe 400 meter long) LOL!

and that would be?

[666fast]

There are speedbumps in my neighborhood. But they aren't of much use, pretty much everyone around here has a pickup and drive over them as fast as they feel like.

[draak666]

Yeah, now I know why SUV's have become more and more popular in Europe. :twisted: Damn speedbumps.

Ive never got streambox to work. ASF Recorder will work only on some ASF, ASX and few WMV files...

[draak666]

Same problem as KH. Good thing those programs are free, 'cause they ain't worth nothing.
