Best pic of a Honda Jazz ever!

Had a crap day? Then this should make you smile… An elderly couple in Bel Air somehow managed to tip their Honda Jazz on its side – but instead of panicking, they posed for possibly the greatest picture of all time. It is not entirely clear exactly how the driver managed to tip the Jazz […]

The Longest Jump

Okay, this came out a few days ago, but we have been busy okay? A while back professional skier, rally driver and all-round daredevil nutcase Guerlain Chicherit to set a world record for the world’s longest ramp to ramp jump in a car. It went very badly wrong. Chicherit suffered only minor injuries in the crash, […]

Hot rod rallying, Finn-style

We are all aware of the high percentage of Finns who are freakishly good drivers, and this video shows yet another one of them. But it seems they also possess the fine desire to drive wildly inappropriate cars in wildly inappropriate ways, which we just have to admire… The first video is awesome, but we […]

Invisible driver

Toyota recently teamed up with internet prankster Rahat to film a new promotion for its Aygo city car. This involved Rahat dressing up as a seat and driving the Aygo around Spain. It was relatively convincing, but as you will see, the best reactions came from the people who realised it was a guy dressed […]

Goodbye you bastard…

R.I.P Rik Mayall, the man almost solely responsible for forming my concept of humour when I was a young, impressionable lad.

He did it with four serious tyres and terrifying 1,200kW twin-turbo Nelson Racing engine powering all four wheels. He scampered 305 metres across a river and what is even more impressive, he achieved the record DURING A […]

Burying the Bentley

There is an absolutely wonderful daily email called “Now I Know”  that I subscribe to that is a fantastic source of things that are rather interesting. It is written by a bloke called Dan Lewis and is a constant and always impressive surprise when it arrives (usually around midnight NZ time!) in my inbox. On of his […]

More than meets the eye…

The kids in this video are extremely excited to meet a real life Transformer. And, let’s face it, we would probably react in a very similar way. Because this is AWESOME! Okay, we realise the guy is wearing a Bumblebee mask from the God-awful Michael Bay Transformers movies and Bumblebee was in no way, shape […]

Nissan proves people are stupid…

In this video a bunch of people are told that they are going for a ride in Nissan’s latest version of the Altima racing car. They are excited. Even when they see what appear to be some very lightly modified road cars. Even when they see the bizarre, obviously fake interiors. Even when they sit […]
