I found these two videos on Youtube. In the first two Toyota Carina GT-R AA63 sedans are chasing a Nissan Silvia S15:
While in the second (third of the video set ;) they get chased by a different Nissan Silvia S15 and a Nissan 180sx:
I have no idea what NCML is, but I suspect that NCML is an abbreviation for one of the circuits in Japan and this event was held on 15th of september 2008. Anyone knows what NCML is??
After two weeks of drifting Babe action I thought I should change back to the musical entries. ;)
Not a Last.fm entry because I found this one genuinly through Youtube:
Once I tried to run, once I tried to hide, but Jesus found me and touched me deep down inside.
I personally love 80s ska bands like Madness, Specials (or Special AKA or the Special Beat), Mark Foggo and Mr. Review but I don't really like this! ;)
I don't really have anything to say about this except that the guitarist really goes wild at 1:36! ;)
BTW: This is not meant to insult Christian followers. :P
Just found this 1983 Toyota Carina advertisement on Youtube:
Powerwindows, powersteering and stains on the seats? Sounds like a Carina MyRoad! ;)
Too bad the first video of the previous posting isn't working anymore:
More carina ads I posted in March 2008. Perhaps I should collect them as Flash video files and store them locally here. ;)
Just submitted this picture to Failblog:
As you can see: Google Chrome fails to play Youtube movies. I already tried Chrome on my blog and discovered than no Youtube videos would show up on my blog. After a small investigation I discovered that there is some security issue on Google Chrome and Youtube.com.
FAIL! :D
Edit @11:30: Apparently they fixed it now. Glad I was able to capture it. ;)
Last week my colleague told me about this hilarious TV series from the 80s:
Automan is about a computer wizzard working for the police creating an program which makes him an Artificial Intelligence hologram which fights crime, with a sidekick called Cursor which is a thing that can draw polygons into holographic images as if they were real! Take Superman, Knight Rider, Airwolf, Battlestar Galactica and Tron, mash it together and you have Automan!!
Hilarious enough Cursor becomes a Lamborgini Countach quite often in the series and he drives Automan around town and takes cornes square with any speed!
Cursor brakes, you hear the tires squeal, but he brakes instantly. Amazing!!
Of course you can't hurt a hologram, so bullets have no use:
Amazing! I wonder why the Dutch television never picked up this high grade tv series while we were stuck with The A-Team, Knight Rider and Airwolf!
Ofcourse this is hilarious now, but back then my colleague really loved this series, just like I loved Knight Rider or The Dukes of Hazzard. Nowadays you really see poor quality on those series as well. Even the first movies of Shuto Trials look rediculous nowadays: what use is doing 180s forward and reverse on driving on the Shuto Expressway? And those action shots are all shot doing 100km/h and then doubled in speed.
What would people think of Initial D in 10 or 15 years time? Would they think it was rediculous as well? In some ways I already find it rediculous and the CGI of the first stage is really outdated nowadays and that will only get worse in 10 or 15 years of time...
