Preformance 480 video - not mine!

Post by L8ERS » Sun Nov 05, 2006 2:10 am

youtube volvo 480 video

Notice the driver has the headlights up, amongst other things being on unnecessarily, which takes off 5 mph / kph from the top speed - according to the manual!

Could see he was also popping the headlights up and down to warn others in front to get out of the way, that must mean that while doing 130mph he didn't have his hands on the steering wheel :shock:

If he crashed at that speed the paramedics would be picking him up with a sponge

No I don´t think that it´s too hot, when I´m driving longer time at the Motorway my Oil temp also gets this high ... sometimes even a little bit higher ;)

Should be fine like this !

Cheers

my video

Post by Volvo_480_turbootje » Sat Nov 18, 2006 9:16 pm

Hi guys
It was me on the video,
I did have the digital on my steeringwheel and I was always watching to the other cars on the highway
Ok it was not very carefull, but it was stronger then myself when I did see passing the audi TT

I closed my account on Youtube, You can find the video now on www.streetfire.net

Greetings

Btw, It was my Oil temperature...
In the summer I did drive from Poland to Belgium , 1200 km's in exactly 10 hours, I stopped 3 times... I constatly drived in Germany 170 km/h...

Btw, my engine is a pretty young engine with 90000 km's now...
Greetings from Belgium

I forget to tell, my car is a 5 speed manual gear box...
I did sometimes changed gear when I was making the movie...

When I was a student, I was a taxi driver, sometimes I did have to change direction, talk to the radio with my boss and change gear at the same time... I am pretty trained :p

Hey!
To me it wasn't very dangerous, but I'm from Poland where people writes smses during driving what is much more dangerous. When I was making a movie, me driving a 480 I put camera into passenger's head rest. Maybe try this next time you can't see speedometer on video but if you drive some curly roads it's saftier to have 2 hands on steering wheel ;)
