Classic Car vids
The carchase scene in the movie Bullit is one of the classic car vids. Rendezous is another one. My own current top 5 of favorites, in random order , is:
- Climbdance
- Rendezvous
- Nordschleiffe in winter (not sure if that's the title, but it shows a Porsche on a Nordschleiffe which is covered in snow)
- Carchase scene in Bullit
- Tiff Needdel's review of the McLaren F1
Anyone any thoughts about other great car video's ?

I've never heard of climbdance. What is it about?
If you like Rendezvous, you'll like Getaway in Stockholm 2 as well. The car's engine sounds aren't as nice, but it sure is spectacular.
The Nordschleife winter video is superb! I love that one as well. Other Norschleife video's that I like are the one of the racing Elise chasing a Corvette and of two laps with Frank Stippler in a GT3RS during a 24hour race (both clickable). I also like the video of Howden Ganley in an F1 car (onboard) with comments from Jacky Stewart. I don't have a link for that, but I'm sure you'll find it.
EDIT: I forgot about the video of the yellow Porsche 911 RUF which I uploaded to the Video Vault. That is pretty awesome as well.

I agree with choose "Climbdance" as your favorite classic car vid.
My favorites are:
- Climbdance
- Stefan Roser laping the old Nurburgring in the RUF Yellow Bird
- Walter Rohr at the Pikes Peak with a 720 hp Audi Quattro (Similar to Climbdance but poor quality)
- Carchase scene at the begining in "The Cannonball Run" I & II
What vid is Rendezvous and where I could find it?
Other great vid is the Best Motoring´s 2000 Dream Car Battle (F40, F50, Diablo SV...) I hear talk about it in a forum here. Where I could download it?

Climbdance ?
That's a video which shows how Ari Vatanen sets a record on the Pikes Peak hillclimb, I think it was back in 1988.

Rendezvous ?
That's an old classic in which a ?Ferrari? roars across Paris just before dawn.

I sent in a video clip to Jabba of the chase scene from 'Bullitt'. Maybe if enough people ask for it, he may decide to host it in the video vault.

I just watched Climb Dance and it's amazing! You guys were absolutely right about it. It's now in my list of favourite car vids as well.
