Video of the week: UAE
This is some footage I grabbed at last year’s Ford Ride & Drive event for their 4WDs. It demonstrates the abilities of the Ford F-150 Lariat 4×4 truck on sloping surfaces.

This rusty video puts to rest the age-old question of which 4WD is “better.” The Land Cruiser or the Patrol? Or, judging by the people who conducted the “test,” maybe not.
The TV show and the movie were bad enough, but here is a reenactment of one of the jumps that made The Dukes of Hazzard popular back in the 1970s. Needless to say, it didn’t go exactly as planned.
This has to be one of the most daring TV commercial that any car company has ever come up with. Renault is showing off the safety of their cars in the ballet of crushed sheetmetal and twisted frames. It’s an ad for the European market of course.
This is a Bridgestone tyre commercial, showing how “amazing” cars start to handle with their product. Too bad reality is not that amazing. It takes a good driver to handle any car, not just a good tyre.
I’d like to thank the higher powers for not extending the concept of Ski Dubai to the entire city. This video shows how tough people in snowy cities have it.
This video just proves that you can never be too young to start driving recklessly. All those snooty corporate-sponsored safety campaigns are such a waste of money.
Project Gotham Racing 4 will be the XBox 360’s flagship driving game. I’ve never played it (or even played anything on the Xbox), but it seems the new game will have a cool intro video sequence, filming for which is in progress in the United States. I couldn’t care less for the slow-mo Arab Run, but the sight of so many cool machines street racing is just amazing.
Off-roading in these parts consists of just powering through soft sand, occassionally involving blind dune jumps and broken radiators. In other parts of the world, off-roading is a much slower sport, requiring the correct amount of equipment and skill, as seen with this modified Suzuki Samurai.
We just can’t get enough of this nonsense. We believe these guys are also from Saudi Arabia, although there are some in the UAE also capable of this. So these oafs are trying to get the Toyota Hilux onto two wheels. After two tries, they should’ve given up.
