The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

[newsboy86]

I'm back on the forum! Took a year(ish) hiatus cause I kept spending all my monies on here! So now I'm back and I'm selling some of the stuff I'm not using lol.

I just sold my MSP axleback to Anthony (Codex) and when I went to Fedex to ship it to him I saw the Google Street View car. I was like "Cool" and then he ended up going to Fedex too- so I pulled up next to him for the photo-op!

I see some things have changed- how do I fix my photo attachment in the above post?

Or maybe its just my computer- can anyone see the embedded picture? or just the links?

Just the link. Welcome back!

 

[newsboy86]

Thanks! And fixed!

Ken Block's Gymkhana 4. Serious business. Watch it.

Gymkhana videos make my day.

 

[hat1018]

Yes but Mr. Block needs to race as well as he plays.

 

[ajkulish]

amen. but if i could do stuff like that with a car, id do it too.

Each video is worse than the previous IMO. I think the 1st one was the best, simply because it freaking blew everyone's mind to see that kind of driving!! Now, it doesn't seem like he's doing as many cool moves with the CAR ITSELF. It's all about production now and goofy camera angles. Whoopie....you can slide sideways into a ladder with some idiot standing on it. I thought he was going to drift past it and ALMOST kiss it with his bumper. That would've been a bad ass move! But alas, I was let down.

The coolest/funniest part in 4 was when he was off in the distance in that town, and you just saw him spin a 360 real quick. lol

+1, the changes in camera angle\view were really cool, and some of the moves were too but the production is just too ridiculous (why the hell were the dancers Indian?). Also, his car pretty much sounds like the RC version. This car is really nice, but I'd rather have the subbie

 

[WillD]

The shots from in-car sound very similar to in-car shots of the Grand-Am RX-8s.

for the Columbus peeps, I might be going down on Saturday and getting some food from the truck, just waiting on a guy to confirm if he's gonna buy my wheels or not

Gymkhana 3 is by far my favorite and IMO the best one. Sweet moves, sweet track, great video.

I liked the 3rd one too. The best part of this one was the epic meal time guys and the FIesta jumping out of that little cement bowl.

 

[frenchy chan]

the FIesta jumping out of that little cement bowl.

i liked that part, too, but my general feeling about this one was that it was overproduced garbage. they had too much money to use and they used it in dumb ways. wish it featured more stuff with the car instead of stupid extras....

 

[rally2003]

^+1 They are more less selling a product now rather than showing some sweet driving. You'll have that. Just can't compete with the classics.

 

[WillD]

They are definitely selling a product. And I think overblown was what they were going for. Kind of saying, "Hey we're on a movie set, so lets go crazy."

 

[rally2003]

yep
