Default Driving in Europe can be fun (sometimes)

Sort of OT as this is a pre 996 911 but just had to share it....

The guy driving this is a total nutter!

Brilliant vid though (110Mb)

That vid's been out for a while. In fact there have already been two other sequels to it.

This was definitely set up, fake police. There were also artistic liberties taken. Check out the lighthouse about 2/3 of the way into the video. The light is spinning like a top!!!

Still fun to watch, though.

What makes you say the cops are fake? Europe has a lot of unmarked cars...The fact that it was such a boring and uneventful pull over probably gives it more credibility. If they set it up don't you think they would have made more of an effort than some guy sticking a stop sign out of a window?

FWIW, it's not a lighthouse it's a TV-tower and it actually blinks with that frequency.

You can go to the official web site. They have four episodes but you have to pay for it or you can also download it from Kazaa for those of us who venture on the dark side of the law along with all the drug dealers and assassins.

Kazza or especially emule. The second one is better than the third one, two heavily modded cars with real cops (supra and Escort Cosworth). The third one is a shorter ride with an NSX.

But Ghost Rider (final ride) is the one thats absolutely nuts, a GSX-R1000 doing 284kmh between trucks and traffic, wheeling away from the cops and playing with them trying to chase him (like they have a chance ), etc.

Check out the trailer: http://gr5.ibk.se/ghost/ghosttrailer.mov

There is another one (ghost rider - goes wild) were he just toys with the cops by comiung from behind and doing a fly-by, then letting them catch up while they signale him to pull over and after a while pops a wheelie and flies away in one wheel. He also uses a Suzuki busa with a turbo that reaches 250mph.

Scouser,

Emule is another P2P software program (no spyware) that works quite differently than kazaa (or similar P2P's). Its harder to configure and get it running properly but once you get a handle on it its much much better than kazaa; much greater variety of files available (just about anything), no curruption of downloaded files, greater versatility, greater security, etc. The only drawback is that its slower to get it running and get it downloading and need to be left running over 8hrs of time to really get good download speeds. I only use kazaa when I want a quick small mp3 or something.

This month I'm running a 2Mbs ADSL line at home and I'm downloading over 5GBs per day

Go here, download the latest version (v30c) and go over the FAQ'a and beginners guide to configuration:
http://www.emule-project.net/

If you want to use emule and after the guide encounter any probs, send me an email, I'm always glad to help out

I bet if you were to search Google you'd find it easily enough.

Maybe try searching Google for:

telechargement Stockolm fonctionne





...and yes Stockolm is misspelled.

Thanx Carlos. I will give it a go. Sounds great. I see Kazza fasttrack has gone away anyway.
