Never seen one of THOSE on the track before. Watch until 58 seconds in...

EDIT: Original post fixed. Thanks brummelenj!

Try this when posting a YouTube video:

start with u2b between [...] followed by "title of film" and end it with: /u2b (also between [...]).

with the "title of film" being GtTMWcWJ4yg (=YouTube video name)

Thanks. Can't see what you posted. Trying to figure it out. Thanks for putting it up there.

EDIT: Now I have it. Thanks! How to posted here:

LOL awesome!!

rit · 12-26-2006, 01:57 PM

Thanks, I tried this the first time (straight from YouTube recommended 'embed' link):

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GtTMWcWJ4yg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GtTMWcWJ4yg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

But it doesn't look like it works. What part, specifically, is wrong?

Joop! · 12-26-2006, 01:59 PM

Aston and Porsche beaten by a 'hippy-van', great!

At least the Porsche 996 is beaten by a Porsche (engine of a 993)

Thanks for sharing...

webadress is just fine and will work (as in your threadstarter). To embed the video read post 2

Fantastic! Thanks for the website and it seems they want to use this as a "taxi" on the track. Maybe they're trying to do what Sabine Schmitz did on the Nürburgring :rocks:

Joop! · 12-26-2006, 05:01 PM

Same video but now taken from the Van's perspective:

http://www.race-taxi.ch/download/spa.avi

(it's 39MB so downloading it first might be a good idea)

2007/335i/coupe · 12-26-2006, 05:30 PM

^^^
That was great, and you can tell the suspension is working well especially through the real slow chicane. If I didn't know what powers the van and ever saw it pass me, I would've instantly lost my sense of manhood.

Carnage · 12-26-2006, 06:05 PM

That's too cool, smoked by a VW bus.

remmib · 12-27-2006, 04:56 AM

LOL Fantastic, bet that VW bus has some big turbos

BMW320i · 12-27-2006, 06:34 AM

wow! what a sleeper!! thanks for sharing

and thanks for the hints brummelenj

How does the van handle well? This video makes me think any piece of shit with enough horsepower can dominate on the track.

The site says they upgraded the van with a fully independent suspension, height adjustable struts and adjustable stabilizers.

bingo. As much as we love our cars, the reality is that someone can take a piece of shit and with the right materials put our cars to shame.

Back in the 80's, I used to watch a friend of mine take his old POS Chevy Monza out to an 1/8 mile track and make money every weekend blowing the doors off of hotshots in new IROC's, Mustang GT's, Corvette's, you name it. Granted he had a bored out 327 in it, but the moral is remember to keep your ego in check no matter what you drive.
