This is a video of an ultimate tricked out old school 1963 Volkswagen Bettle Rag Top at the 2005 Bugjam. There are a few drags of the souped up Bettle versus the new Beetle, and even against a Subaru Impreza turbo.
No idea what’s in this Beetle, I heard you could put a Porsche or a Subaru engine in it since they’re all boxers. Video is after the jump.

Video after the jump.

Jeremy Clarkson shows his frustration on companies that seem to take make cars as a pure for-profit matter… perhaps you could call it cars with no ’spirit’ or ‘passion’. The victim – our very own Perodua Kelisa.
UPDATE: Recently this video has caught the attention of our MPs such as DAP-Tanjong MP Chow Kon Yeow and BN-Ledang MP Hamim Samuri. Click here to read more about that issue, or if you already know all about that, just enjoy the video in this post and find out what the fuss is all about.

Here’s the video of the Proton Waja EuroNCAP Crash test. I remember seeing this on Top Gear once, where Jeremy Clarkson was showing the difference between a Ford Fiesta, Proton Impian (Waja) and a Toyota Avensis. The Toyota naturally scored a 5 star out of 5 star result.

This is TUV’s crash test video of the Jiangling Landwind X6. Bear in mind this is after Jiangling had made some adjustments to the SUV, and this test was conducted at a lower speed of 54km/h instead of 64km/h. Still looks like a disaster to me, although TUV says all’s good and the SUV passes. I wonder why Jiangling wants to sue ADAC?
