Car chases: Datsun 260Z chases Clown on Zandvoort
October 2, 2010 in Car chases
Following up yesterdays post: here is a car chase from one of the older Bassie en Adriaan episodes when they still loved the Simca based Matra Rancho. Basically the fun starts after 0:50 seconds when the clown and acrobat find out they are being followed by a Datsun 260Z wiht some thugs inside. Be prepared for some real 70s drift action (with long a haired acrobats wearing sunglasses with a funky 70s tune in the background) between a Matra Rancho and a Datsun 260Z on the Zandvoort circuit:
Also a noteworthy to mention: this isn’t the only Datsun used by the thugs. In the other episodes a Nissan Cherry and Violet are being used as chase cars. After these series Bassie en Adriaan started to drive the Prelude and the thugs started to drive Ladas. I suspect that was no coincidence. 
Ooooh these good old days.
I have no idea what they’re talking about but I like how the went from a normal road in a city to wandering onto a racetrack! haha
It is all done with magic: that’s how it works in the circus!
Seriously: the series were done with a really low budget, so this car chase already surprised me!
Whats up with that 260Z driver?? Im going straight OH NO somehow I’ve lost control now I’m going to spin out. It’s like a 4 year old playing Gran Turismo.
The Bassie and Adriaan series are made for four year-olds, so it is not really surprising they drive like this!
My guess is that they tried to look impressive and it is made in the 70s when nobody really was an expert in stunts on television.
