CBR Jeff Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 This event is on my bucket list. Each year at this time I watch some of the videos and think next year! So maybe next year will be the one. Quote
CBR Jeff Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) I remember Greg Carr's 131 in the early 80's. I was even lucky enough to get a ride in it. But I don't remember it going as hard as this one. The revs o the revs. Edited December 7, 2015 by CBR Jeff Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted December 8, 2015 Administrators Posted December 8, 2015 Not car related, but certainly worth a look. Quote

Administrators gav240z Posted December 9, 2015 Administrators Posted December 9, 2015 I have a confession to make, I love watching people on the Internet loose their shyza. If you don't like language you may not like these... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TpjCEVJbIE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BrWuJWE104 I guess some people need a snickers.. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted December 11, 2015 Administrators Posted December 11, 2015 That last one is gold. If you like that, you may also like Ronnie Pickering. The sad thing is, I suspect his partner in the passenger seat is subject to domestic violence at home. Quote
Six_Shooter Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 I kinda have to agree with the car driver when it comes to that bicyclist. He was pretty far out in the road, on a single lane roadway, so where is the car supposed to pass him? He then went on to agitate the guy by confronting him and pushing his buttons. I find too many bicyclists think they own the road, because it's supposed to be shared, but they don't seem to understand that it works both ways. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted December 12, 2015 Administrators Posted December 12, 2015 I'm a cyclist myself, I ride to work daily. Thankfully I use a dedicated cycling path most of the time. I suspect in that video there is more to it than what we see at the start. Some people forget that on a bicycle / motorbike you are far more vulnerable than in a tin-can (car). I don't understand when people get upset over bicycle's on the road, overall cyclists are doing a good thing. They are reducing emissions, reducing the burden on the health care system and helping reduce congestion (less cars on the road). Some people think they should be bullied off the road or driven over, I dunno. But there is definitely a minority mind set that they are scum simply for riding a bike. Sure I've seen some cyclists take up an entire lane riding 2 abreast and I think that's stupid but far more drivers ignore you or don't see you especially when riding at night. Even more fail to stop at pedestrian crossings. So even if the bike rider was taking up a bit more of the road than he should, there's still no reason to blast by him, especially in an aggressive manner. I agree the cyclist shouldn't have followed him, nothing good is going to come of that, but he probably felt compelled to tell him off after driving aggressively near him. The problem is I suspect the camera doesn't make it look as close as it felt to the cyclist. Pushing that guy's buttons in fairness didn't seem all that difficult. To get so worked up like that, I dunno but he's heading straight into a heart attack at a relatively young age. He did kind of deserve what happened to him, although I hope he wasn't seriously hurt. He did threaten to kill the cyclist and it was pretty vile behavior. The fact it was all captured on Youtube and viewed at least a million times is probably a good reminder for him also. Quote
Riceburner Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 The fat bloke got what he deserved, what an epic face plant. ROFL! If he was injured tuff titties, he shouldn't have been such a tool. Thing is you have to ride at least 1meter from cars because people open their doors without looking. That will put you in the middle of a single lane road. I find it irritating when the cyclist cuts through everyone at the lights and you have to pass them again with lots of traffic around. They should wait in line like everyone else, it's safer for all involved. Quote
mossy Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 The problem that exists between cars and cyclists is something I can't see ending anytime soon. I do a lot of my riding now on bike path because I feel safer and am sick and tired of being abused and sometimes run off the road. I obey the road rules, I stop at red lights, if I'm with a friend riding 2 abreast and hear a car coming we go single file so the car can past safely but still get abused. I hear what people say about cyclists running red lights and being all over the road and I hate that too as it gives cyclists a bad name but what about all the drivers breaking the law, speeding, tailgating, running stop signs.....you never hear the drivers mention that. I think the problem is people driving hate getting held up, whether its behind a cyclist or behind a driver doing 50 in a 60 zone. Quote

For those who haven't watched that far. 13 mins and 3 seconds in. Bit of a Datsun Easter Egg in there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSNmQeJtGdI&t=13m3s Quote
CBR Jeff Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 One for the snow skiers. It is a car add. I think it's a classic. Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted December 16, 2015 Moderators Posted December 16, 2015 That is pretty cool, reminded me of James Bond 007. Quote

Cozza Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Crash compilation at Nurburgring from the 60's. You sure can appreciate the developments in safety requirements over the years. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10154006772219206&id=16557034205&refsrc=http%3A%2F%2F Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted December 18, 2015 Moderators Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Some amazing stuff in that collection. I really can't believe that they still let public loose on the track in road cars with no separation based on performance. Edited December 18, 2015 by PB260Z Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted December 23, 2015 Moderators Posted December 23, 2015 I was lucky enough to get a couple of laps with Beau Yates in his AE86, one hell of a ride - but nothing compared to that MX-5 lap. Amazing how they keep it all together. Quote

Moderators PB260Z Posted December 24, 2015 Moderators Posted December 24, 2015 A Cobra without a big V8 in the nose, that could ruffle some feathers Quote
Riceburner Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Another great video from Petrolicous! It definitely strikes a cord with me and I'm sure it's a theme we can all see ourselves hopefully being a part of in one way or another. Beautiful story! gav240z 1 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted January 1, 2016 Administrators Posted January 1, 2016 Here is another good video, on a 912 Porsche. I particularly like his screen prints. Very cool. Quote
