Absolutely hilarious video!

Just downloaded this hilarious video.. Tiff Needell of BBC's Top Gear TV show takes the manic Audi RS4 Avant for a quick spin.. :D

Bloody hilarious video of a truly amazing car.

hehe... "...don't tell Audi Though. " )=)
For those who'd like to know in advance, the clip is 17,5 mb big.
I suppose everybody already has that other Top Gear clip with the Lamborghini test driver? :D (it was posted here a couple of months ago)

SLOOW d/l too boot 6kb/s &(
Should be 20+ for my DSL :rolleyes:

edit: hmm now a better speed, starting too creep up
now 24kb/s must be a close ratio on that host

Haven't got it yet.. Maybe can you post the link for it..

"Oh, like the handbrake; don't tell Audi though (in a quiet voice).. Oh yes, and at chicanes, you can use a bit of the old lift-off oversteer theory.."

Then they show the beastly red station wagon oversteering wildly, rear tyres with clouds of smoke pouring off them.. ^_^

Damn, too slow here too 45 minutes it said so I stopped the download. Maybe I will try tomorrow.

Just upped it at Racerplanet; get it here. (http://www.totalnfs.net/Remko/Top_Gear-Audi_RS4.avi)
I can't seem to find the location for the Lambo clip at the moment; it's not at http://taner.equinix.com/topgear/ as I expected... If I can't find the location I'll re-upload it too. ;)

Hmm, maybe I missed the "absolutely hilarious" part (rpm is on telly) but the handbrake line was funny. Hmm, better than a 911 in "go to whoa".

Thanks Chris and thank you to Remko for uploading it here as it took little more than a minute to load for me (cable) -^

The handbrake bit was pretty nice (not often you see a practical family car getting that far sideways)..

Yeah, this RS4 is faster than a 911, in acceleration, and, nearly as good in top speed, but as Tiff says, it understeers.. All the 4wd Audi cars do.. They understeer heavily.. Just not nimble and adjustable in the handling like they use to be (like the old Quattro Coupé).

Only thing is trying to purchase a RS4 in Australia.. Audi imported 30, and, they are all sold.. :'( A truly awesome beast though.. Just love the sound of the RS4, and the brutal way it delivers its 440Nm of torque.. It's a pity that Audi is no longer importing any more RS4's, since, one of those would suit my needs..

Hi All:wave:,
I downloaded a couple of video's from that website. But the Mclaren Video is corrupted in the middle. It wont play. I am on dial up:'( . Could some one please upload it somewhere so that i can download. It will be of great help. I was looking for this video for a long time.

Thanx in advance.

:beer:

I downloaded the video in 2 minutes. I took a speed test awile ago and the results came back 927k. And i got cable. and i live out in the middle of nowhere! And my cable connection is above average speed. My friend lives only a couple blocks away from the main office of Cogeco Cable (which is what i got) and his connection ussually tops off at 400k. Wow.... a whole 927k. don't know how i ended up with a faster connection since i'm far away from the isp. and my friend can almost see it from his house. lol

[XR]Sri: I have the Mclaren video already (it's amazing to see how fast that thing is..).

I'd upload it here if someone would give me a directory on the server, like all the other super-moderators seem to have..

I liked the 911 vid a lot. Worth the download on broadband. Shame it only does 189mph hehehe.

Which one was that? The GT1 or the 911 Turbo..

I've got the GT1 video, and it's awesome to see this car being driven fast, with blasts of fire coming out of its exhausts on downshifting.. And of course, listen to the engine, and the wastegates hissing and whooshing..

However the specifications they give for the GT1 are wrong.. The one they test has 600hp, 600Nm, does 0-100km/hr in 3.4 seconds, and does 325km/hr+ for top speed.

The BMW M3 review is apparently quite good, too..

[Spiderman]

Oh, there is a difference? Hehe. the Turbo one that the original link goes to. I wasn't so impressed with the GT1, maybe because I don't like driving the virtual one very much.
