It's that time of year again already...F1 is back! To celebrate this, Car Crash TV is paying tribute to the legend that is Michael Schumacher. These clips will whet your appetite as the seven times winner returns to the track for the first time in four years.
The rivalry between England and Germany is second to none. 1966 immediately springs to mind... This clip shows us a different aspect to these two great nations' competitiveness. The questions is...who can fit the most people in to a Smart car? England win 14-13!
This outrageous advert shows how music really is the food of love for softies; it's a good job a nodding dog wasn't involved in its making.
This is a very basic clip. Man jumps a large distance in his Harley Davidson. A record and a safe landing all achieved. Cool jump though.
Again a fairly tenuous link to cars, but seeing a real life jetpack being put through its paces will make your Friday complete. You too can be James Bond and jetpack around the world. Not sure we could afford one though...
This rather ironic Toyota advert is certainly more poignant now that is was when first aired. It's funny. It's clever. It's also slightly disturbing. Enjoy!
Basically this clip shows a train smash into a truck. Not much more to say really. Nothing like a bit of carnage to bring joy to your Friday.
Who knows what this idiot is trying to do, but he ends up flipping his car on this rocky incline, all for our entertainment.
The snow is back! These cars really struggle to get up this hill. In fact, they seem to prefer sliding down it backwards, smashing into unsuspecting cars in the process. Watch these helpless cars make a mess of this hill from the relative safety of your computer.
Crunch! This intrepid skateboarder hurtles down a rather steep hill but unfortuately doesn't adhere to the give way sign and has a close encounter with a car. No one was badly hurt in this clip, except maybe an ego and a bit of pride.
With the F1 season almost upon us, Virgin Racing have unveiled their car for the 2010 season. However, this is not just another F1 car...it has been designed, built, tested (and possibly will be driven...) entirely on a computer. It is Virgin's first time (sorry, couldn't resist) in Formula One but they have "absolute belief" in the digital design process. The world will be watching on the 14th of March...
This banned Honda advert shows us a unique, if not rather disturbing way of protecting your car against thieves. Throw in a pig and a midget and you've got the perfect security system. Zap!
This amateur stunt driver shows off his skills to the camera, but things start to go wrong when it turns out that he is in fact both an idiot and a truck driver and certainly not a stuntman. Pretty sure he won't be doing this again in a hurry.
This week's second clip to address the problems of car thieves, shows us another effective way of keeping the criminals from stealing your car. Put a monkey in the boot! Affectionately known as "Trunk Monkey" this primate is an all encompassing security device which not only stops the car thief in their tracks, but also disposes of the problem, permanently. Thieves will think twice before messing with Trunk Monkey!
