Hey Koffy, -Getaway in StockHolm 2 isn't a car its actually a series of real life racin' on roads...more the movie than the car. Not bad to watch neither..

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 07 Dec 2003, 02:01

that the one with the supra and the cossie? or the one with the 911? i always get them mixed up. turbo dreams videos are good, and the redline one, especially if your a supra fan. ive just got a 'drift compilation' vid thats good 2. theyre all on kazaa if ur interested

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 21 Dec 2003, 00:30

The getaway in stockholm with 911 was the best of the series (there are 3 in total). It was also the first one.

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 24 Dec 2003, 21:24

In all fairness, the getaway in stockholm videos are a bit boring, not a patch on turbo dreams

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 24 Dec 2003, 21:59

yeah, I said of the three - the 911 was original, the rest was not so good. I don't like street racing vid's that much anyway, because the speed doesn't get too high ususally, and they always risk killing someone, and I think it's stupid to do in real life.

Now rally videos - that's what I like. It's the only motorport that makes me scared when I watch it from the cockpit camera.

Ya, I know about cars

Sometimes, (when I was at uni) when the weather was good and I had the time I would service my car myself. I'd prefer to do it myself - rather than pay some immigrant mokey-fool Â£30 per hour and the doodle couldnt speak English to tell me what he'd done when I picked the damn car up!

Its kinda cool doing it yourself actually, I mean its only a 1400cc and has a simple engine so changing spark plugs, brake pads (discs+shoes if needed), oil, oil filter, air filter, brake fluid etc is kinda easy. I need to run some '10k boost' thru the carburetor cos the engine has done 61,000miles now...it made such a difference on my old car.

just found these, still havent stopped laughing (viper and imcrapsta sti)

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 14 Jan 2004, 16:59

uncool Grez, people obviously got hurt there. I've been in a crash once - woman did a perfect frontal Euro NCAP test on my VW, when she drove on my lane instead of waiting for me to pass... people gathered around, everyone discussing... that pisses a man off. It was a Feb Winter, cold as hell, and I spent next month taking a buss with my gf, so the whole experience left a nasty aftertaste. Plus tomorrow I am picking up my Audi which was side brushed by a dump truck just before Xmas...
So I am not a fan of crashes.. Though the Viper... u can only wonder HOW IN THE WORLD!

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 14 Jan 2004, 17:23

actually, the people involved are fine, as theyre the ones who posted the pics of their wrecks. Im not sick, if they were paralysed or killed in those, i wouldnt have posted them

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 14 Jan 2004, 17:28

well, that's a point a didn't think of! ur probably right, I never meant to impyy ur sick! I am just not a fan of car crashes I guess, since I know what comes with one. I have a picture of crashed Pagani Zonda a buddy of mine sent me. Talk about collateral damage!

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 14 Jan 2004, 17:32

ive never actually crashed really, but in my old celica, i spun off a corner at 96mph and ended up in a field, but there was no real damage, except suspension which i was having replaced anyway

Apart from the one I told you about, I once went sideways in winter on my Passat in US (I was fooling around) and lost it. The car went into uncontrolled slide and the poor 1.8T couldn't recover the heavy wagon - so I stopped just couple of feet away from the unhooked (and parked) 18 wheeler trailer... firetruck scary, I was expecting a hit in the B pillar section. My thoughts were (since it's a Variant, then the roof gets firetruck, than ... OMG!!!) as I was playing with gas and trying to recover.. but it was snow, and I was on all season tires. What saved me was a patch of asphalt just near the trailer that caught the wheels. I still get chills about that moment, as it was a company car, and I was driving it sideways on my own time, almost destroying it. here is a pic to say how close that was!

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 14 Jan 2004, 17:51

ok, here is what I was talking about. the thing was parked there for eternity, got so used to it as a part of landscape, took it same year, in summer.
