The parallels are astounding don't you think?

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:

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.

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

Jabba

Do you have a daily driver too?

Jabba

11-24-2006 03:46 PM

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.

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

11-24-2006 04:07 PM

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

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

11-24-2006 05:48 PM

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

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.

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.
