pilot wasnt trying

**ThatGuy** · 01-11-2006, 09:46 AM

Pilot was trying, but had to stay within the confines of the track. That isn't how an Attack Helo works. Once he backed off to his normal engagement distance, it was all over. Granted it is a fun video to watch, and an excellent display for the Exige. It is not an accurate representation of the capabilities of an Apache, though.

**Phlip** · 01-11-2006, 10:15 AM

I enjoyed the video, and I agree with that guy... Err... uh. Barry, about the pilot and the helicopter's having to stay within the confines of the track.

You guy should see the tank vs Range Rover one. He was driving around trying to avoid getting shot by the tank's main cannon.

pretty sure alot of cars coulda did the same thing..i mean if its chasing you, and you all of a sudden bust a 180, nothing can really turn around that fast lol.

I think the Apache is the nice looking machine. So is the Exige. And that guy kept spinning out with it, and pretended he was doing it on purpose.

After watching him drive the Ariel Atom, it seems like he's faking excitement with every other car.

TurDz · 01-11-2006, 02:18 PM

Yeah I heard the Atom car was crazy too.

ranisron · 01-11-2006, 02:21 PM

fun video to watch...

I happen to like the british accent + exotic cars... I am sure he drives better than I do...

**Phlip** · 01-12-2006, 09:14 AM

I also liked the one where he gave the new BMW M5 the business:

TurDz · 01-12-2006, 09:21 PM

Thanks ZK. I was about to post that Evo 8 video too...

this should probably just turn into a Top Gear/5th Gear thread...

DJPimpFlex · 01-12-2006, 10:13 PM

that ones OLD SCHOOL. I saw that vid like a year ago or something. They backed off after that chase over the clearing and got a lock w/o even trying. Yea after the atom everything else is a joke. That cars (i hesitate to even call it that) is awsome.
