(stolen) idea for the live stage at the NEC next year

#1 Post by TerryG »

Anybody who watches motor trend will already have seen this but:

Day 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa0U8OW7KOs
Day 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUKq5IMsuiM

Can you imagine Mike Brewer attempting to "help" with anything like this?

Wow! These two clips will take a while to download in HD, best go put the kettle on 'cos it looks like being worth the time. (Total of well north of 24GB for the pair even at 720p, thank goodness for unlimited usage). :mrgreen:

I was going to sit down and watch every Saw movie right through tonight, but the shiny yellow car wins the day!

I watched the first one earlier. Those two are superb on roadkill, always funny and enough spanning to be interesting plus silly things too. I have part 2 on now and part 3 should be live on the motor trend channel shortly.
