Actually for such a mood I'd go for: Air - Moon Safari - 03- All I need
But don't mix it with alcohol - suicidal thoughts are not welcomed!!!!

Hope things will get better soon for you, zippo. Just don't drink and drive

indeed, and I just have to accept that... even if she's the sweetest thing I have ever known and I'm quite sure that there's no other one like her...

downloading the song now, thx for the tip

Great song, but don't listen to it now. It'll get you down.

thx for the support guys. But things have certainly improved!! She called me twice to see if I was better and tonight we're going to have a drink. Just the two of us, as friends, so we can talk a bit. But damn she is so sweet for me ... what man wouldn't get moved by that! And believe me she's very nice to look at too

No woman who wasn't a girlfriend of mine has ever gotten me so damn crazy

But at least I didn't lose her with my drunk behaviour.

Now something a bit more on topic

That T350 is a beast, I love it!! Thx a lot for the video. Finally a non britisch test of the car!

And believe me she's very nice to look at too

If you feel like posting her pic then feel free. If not - I understand.

I've decided to cut 2 parts out of a 2 top gear vids wich I've gotten from jabba (for which my thanks), and they are the Destruction of the Toyota Land Cruiser/Hilux feature. I thought some of you might like it!

Part 1 is being uploaded onto my webspace (and will be finished when it says 49,something meg). Hope you guys like it!

my webspace

greetings

Zippo, love that toyota feature. Although they did cheated a bit by putting in roll cage and stuff, I'm really impressed by its durability. Too bad they don't make cars or trucks like that anymore. With all the sea water getting into the engine management computer, don't think it'll work anymore.

Capped a few new Auto Motor und Sport videos over the weekend, uploaded the bentley one to draak's webspace:
Auto Motor und Sport - Bentley Continental GT.mpg (49.9M)

Also capped 2 other videos featuring Mercedes E500 vs BMW 545i, and the new Volvo S40. Will upload them if you guys are interested.

1zippo1 · 01-09-2004, 05:35 AM

that sounds nice, upload it to my webspace if you want to!!

thx for the vids alien!!!!

EDIT: I'll just wait a bit before I'll upload part 2 of the Toyota Destruction video.

AlienDB7 · 01-09-2004, 09:08 AM

Uploaded the volvo video and part2 of the merc/bmw video to your site now, will post the part1 one later. It's slightly bigger than 50M so need to split it with rar.
Auto Motor und Sport - new Volvo S40.mpg (40.2M)

Oh yea, uploaded a funny commercial too. Saw it when I was recording some show on discovery channel. Hope you guys like it.

draak666 · 01-09-2004, 01:34 PM

Great selection again, Alien. This will be the first review of the new s40 that I get to watch. From the pics I've seen so far, this must be one very nice car. I'd like to see Volvo make a t4 with 4wheel drive like the Audi. With this new model in the same price range as the 3series and a4 they owe it, just to gain some respect and credibility in the segment.

stradale · 01-09-2004, 04:22 PM

It's even better. Volvo will put 5 cylinder engines in the S40, so it will be a T5 instead of a T4. I'm curious about this car. It looks good, but according to evo's first impression the handling is also very good.

A friend of mine used to own the previous S40 and I was quite astonished by the quality of the chassis. It was one of the most comfortable and at the same time the car went through corners at an amazing speed for such a car. I've never experienced another car where both the performance & the comfort were so good at the same time

stradale · 01-09-2004, 05:12 PM

I know all about that. My dad had an S40 with sports suspension until it decided it would rather kill itself than part from us in the regular way. It cornered quite well. When you go beyond the limits it reacts with understeer only. That was a bummer, but it didn't reach its limits all too easily.

Vansquish · 01-09-2004, 05:59 PM

If you think the S40 was good, you would be completely blown away by the Mazda 6...its body control is waaaaay better than the S40, and its limits are far higher...it's even nicely adjustable on the throttle, even though it's front-drive.

I routinely take off-ramps with posted 25mph speeds at 65 to 70 without any tire squeal or anything in my 6.
