Initial-D parody. Slightly better if you understand Japanese since there are no subtitles.

You don't need to understand japanese that much. The show had all sorts of parody segments.

The girl driving is the cousin of the blue hair girl. She is a cop. Casual driving when RX-7 passes. Says "Oh, he passed me" you don't need to know anything else until just before she passes when she says "I will get him in the next 5 consecutive hairpins" or something to that affect.


On another note, there is a guy who posts a poo poo load of biek videos. He posted one of him going down the twisty bits of mulholland highway I drive every saturday night.

This video starts at the point where decker canyon road turns away from mullholland highway. He has an in helmet view, and discusses it. Cool guy it seems. Enjoys riding, and doesn't get crazy. He passes a lotus club at the look out, and a few ferraris on the way up. Since it's in helmet, it will make you motion sick (blare witch affect).

see it here

His profile has all kinds of videos. 155 of them to be exact. Covers lots of road in SoCal, and other places including Rome. He also has track videos. Interesting watch if you can stomach the movement.

Wow. That looked fairly terrible. I can't remember (or find the video) but a domestic mag took the Evo and STI out jumping on a country road and they handled jumping much better. But then again I don't think Mustangs are damped as hard as STIs and Evos.

Someone please find the video. I miss it.

They weren't trying to make a video at all. They were just trying to get an action picture without using Photoshop like other carmakers. They ended up not even using the shot.

The picture they came up with:



They did the same thing for the 2001 Bullitt, but they actually used it's jump picture.



This is the image Ford is using instead.

That was my point. The people who played Spy Hunter are now generally at an age and station in life where they will be looking at cars in the G8's market segment.

Because that Patrol is far from stock. Some Patrols had RB30S engines from the factory, and naturally there are awesome people out there that swap in the RB30ET engines in. That explains all the cool sounds that came out of that car.

That commercial brings back a rush of agonizing, pent up frustration at the mind numbing difficulty of that game. :argh:

I nearly threw my loving monitor across the room at hearing that music again.
