Guys' n ' girls

I found this video of Fiat 100HP on youtube, looks rather cool well until the music stops!

 

[greyridertoo]

I'd suggest he needs a tighter grip on the wheel to keep it onside......

 

[Tom100hp]

think you'll find it called a racing line lol

 

[greyridertoo]

Think you'll find that first time he does it, it's called a double, solid, white line

 

[Tom100hp]

oh well lol

:spin:I feel a bit sick now.......:spin:

I thought that, i looked a couple of times on the video, but if you look carefully its more where the highways agency have put loads of lines on a poor bit of road.

Look again then, that load of lines begin with arrows indicating the need to get left, followed by parallel and unbroken, white lines - at which point our hero is already completely on the wrong side of the road. They put loads of lines in places like that usually because it's a dangerous corner or, like the one in the video, a blind one. You can colour me unimpressed.

The boy racer driving has already been commented upon, no need for me to blather on about.

What does get me is how these kinds of videos all have dodgy generic eurodance music or whatever, why not let us hear the engine sing, especially if it's a video of a sporty-ish car?

And what's with the stats all these videos seem to contain? Must everything be numbers and statistics and bench racing sillyness? Do people really need to air their adenoids and anoraks constantly?

"Ooh, my car goes to 115mph, yours only does 114.5."

Yes, but mine has Vulcamatic™ bumpstops, which give me better handling when racing on granulated birch bark."

... looks rather cool well until the music stops!

Personally I was quite relieved when the music did stop

Others: Nobody really gives a flying firkin if he crossed the white line. You can't see what he could - why do all videos have to descend into this?

 

[Tom100hp]

yeh init mate just enjoy the vid instead of pulling it to pieces init. he prob does everywhere 10mph under speed limit lol

 

[Tom100hp]

and the 115mph bit is just what fiat say they much faster had 130mph from mine

Nice thing to say on a public forum 'init', you never know who is watching.

As for the video, well, the driving is pretty stupid. Cutting blind corners isn't that smart is it?

The camera's practically at floor level, I'm interested to know how you can tell it's blind. The driver will be several feet above.

Plus it's a bit speeded up.

With high hedges at the side of the road I very much doubt that the driver would have been able to see fully round the corner.

 

[HP]

That's what I'm getting at - the camera is low and the few hedges you can actually see properly aren't particularly tall. Plus the width of vision from the camera is very narrow compared to what the driver would be able to see.

Even if that is the case its still pretty stupid in my opinion.

Its not as if the road is empty.

 

[Tom100hp]

na not stupid fun, i doubt you drive your 100hp to the book all the time if so should have got a boring active eco 1.1, and yeh i think you would be able to lot more as the driver instead of a lil camera on the floor lol

There is a time and a place and from what I can see from the video that wasn't it.

Plus there is driving fast and driving stupidly fast, stating that you have done 130mph on the public highway is the latter of the two.

bohoo bohoo carm down lol, you should see us in the vxr then lol or the rover 620turbo have it
