I think that F1 video may have been sped up a bit - check out the guy walking across pit lane at ~ 0:49. Still, the speed differential is amazing!

The only thing funny or interesting about this is the sound, but it is my favorite 9 second video. I miss that car sometimes..

"The Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium plays host to a variety of racing events, ranging from from Formula One and touring car to weekend track days. When out on the course in a production car, it might feel like you are conquering the Eau Rouge better than any human on the planet. This video mashup is here to remind that you're not.
This isn't ground-breaking information, but it is interesting to see just how much faster an F1 car is around a series of high-speed turns. Someone over in the VWVortex's Car Lounge decided to overlay two videos of the same corner, and while they don't line up perfectly, you get the point."

This video is hilarious. From the BBC Top Gear, when I worked in England a few years ago I saw a bunch of these, but never saw one being driven. A person on the street I was living on had one that they were using, as it was often parked in a different spot in the driveway. I can't imagine driving such a beast. I'm sure if you drove them responsibly they were just a little sketchy. The locals called them "plastic pigs". Enjoy!

That's not an accident, that's the way we're measuring snow fall this year. Latest weather predictions are for 1.5 Fusions on Friday, maybe a school bus on Sunday.

All I could think of in the beginning of that video was the British movie skit on SNL the other night.

Too funny. Like they say "Two great nations separated by a common language".
