Based on the location of those emergency vehicles on the side right after the starting point, I assume they don't allow Mustangs to enter? :v:

If they do, it's like a greyhound track - they have another car run in front dangling a plastic pedestrian/highway divider/fence to keep the Mustang driver on target.

No you see the people hiding behind the vehicles? Strategically placed so they don't get murdered.

Mustangs long ago evolved the ability to rapidly turn 180 degrees to catch prey hiding behind cover.

Nice.

I can't help but think that demolition derbys everywhere could only be improved by allowing the cars to jump 5ft in the air at will...

Actually I'm struggling to think of any class of motorsport where it wouldn't be an improvement.

in hindsight i really think that video as silly as it seems now planted the AI seed in my brain and without it i would probably be driving a leased RAV4 and spending my free time following sports on tv right now so thank you Sega for saving my life. no wonder why 80s 911s turn me on so much.

This is easily their best video yet, and yeah, the helmet was amazing, I just wish they'd show how much pressure the press is at when they're crushing things

Ridiculously non-chalant driver Paul Morris posted:

“So he’s got a long road ahead. He’s not going to win a beauty contest in the next year or two. So hopefully we’ll get him out of here in the next couple of weeks, get him stabilized, get him back to Australia, get his head rebuilt and he’ll be brand new.”

So, more insane than rally drivers then.

No it's not, at least not according to the driver's facebook (hah) page.

quote:

Matty Mingay Update - There are a lot of horrifying stories circulating about Matt so we feel it's important to share more of his story so you can follow his progress and to put your minds at ease. Matt has 1 large cut from his lip to his chin, a few small ones around at the lower chin and underneath, where an object has protruded through his jaw and mouth. As you can see he looks amazing and is doing an incredible job. The majority of his injuries are inside the mouth which can be repaired overtime. This morning Matt has been taken off the mechanical ventilator and is breathing on his own through the tracheostomy. His vitals look great and he is improving each day. His is in very safe hands here at the Detroit Receiving Hospital who actually specialise in chin reconstructive surgery.

sounds like "ripped off" is an exaggeration that spread.

e: And of course you can find video of the wreck on youtube

Not a very extreme accident, but flying debris will gently caress you up regardless.

It pleases me inordinately that they masked and painted the pieces separately, rather than spraying the entire assembled unit like a lot of builders seem to do. Leave that gorgeous hardware exposed and clean.

Not sure if this ones ever been posted before (but i did do a search which came up empty) so with that said let me introduce you to Davide Cironi.

https://www.youtube.com/user/davidecironi/videos

I just came across this guy's channel late last night and even though i only had time to watch a hand-full of his videos i already think it could be one of the greatest car channels ive ever come across on youtube. Most of the videos are just an Italian gentleman driving the hell out of some of the most legendary drivers cars ever made ranging from stuff that should have rotted away decades ago to rare and expensive cars that i have no clue how he got his hands on to do what he does. Aside from a few history lessons beforehand or him waxing poetic about them en italiano (with english captions) while driving rather enthusiastically there's no background music and the sound of each car is very well captured and clearly heard the whole time.

Here's a couple of the vids ive watched so far, and if u like i suggest your check the rest out...enjoy!

yeah i knew someone had to recognize it since it seems like he has a decent following. A friend I showed the E30 M3 video it to likened it to Bob Ross for petrolheads which isnt much of an exaggeration at least for that particular video. I've never seen many good quality drive along videos (if any at all) for of those early hot hatches like the Fiat Ritmo Abarth 130 TC and Renault 5 Turbo so it was especially great watching those and there are still many more waiting to be watched later on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoX32kUhezU

If there's any other youtube sites that have lots of videos (cars or motorcycles) that are very similar to this please share.
