Yes, the tug-of-war may be considered a game for the strong and mighty. But it was also a matter of dignity for the Chevrolet Silverado, after its last YouTube battle with the Dodge Ram Heavy Duty, which saw the Silverado being dragged to humiliation. However this time round the big bad Chevy is seen taking on a much smaller Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
When you watch movies, you see these bikers doing huge jumps over random uneven roads. However this is what really happens when you ride a motorcycle over a speed bump too fast.
If you think finding a Dirham on the floor is lucky, see what happens to this guy in Russia, who has an experience equivalent to finding a million bucks under his shoe. In Russia, most drivers have dash cams installed in their cars to basically fight off the motherland’s notorious corrupt traffic police or scammers trying to extort money out of drivers. With a country that big, some crazy footage is bound to be caught on video and here’s one fine example of a head-on accident, except that no one is hurt?
Among the motorsports practised by citizens of civilised nations such as America is tug-of-war, a test of strength and resilience. Even better if it’s done with big pointless pickup trucks! Here’s a tug-of-war battle between a Chevrolet Silverado and a Dodge Ram. The outcome is obvious, but winner goes totally overboard! Be warned though, if you’ve never watched an 18+ movie in your life due to your sensitivity to adult language, keep the volume on mute.
So the boss goes out of town. The driver has the keys to a Rolls Royce Phantom. There are huge empty open areas around the mansion. What does he do? Well, do some drifting of course!
We have seen police car chases on TV. Usually it’s the police car doing the chasing. But something goes horribly wrong here. In Saudi Arabia, the perps start chasing down a police car.
Ronny Wechselberger’s sets a new Guinness world record of 35cm for parallel-parking, in reverse naturally, using a Volkswagen Up fitted with a special handbrake. Looks easy enough.
Out there, on Dubai’s ultra-modern highways. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a camel! Details are sketchy, but apparently it escaped from somewhere and ended up on the highways near Dubai Marina. And somehow it is managing to stay in lane too.
We get lots of requests to do videos, but we generally don’t waste time churning out boring nonsense. If you haven’t heard already, we drove a McLaren MP4-12C recently. And we have video too. For footage that barely lasts a minute, you can see the launch control, the air-brake spoiler, the active suspension, the braking power and even the exhaust note, all shot during our road-test just outside Dubai.

Mercedez-Benz held their latest AMG Performance Tour earlier this year at the Yas Marina Circuit. The event was sponsored by Continental Tyres, who provided the rubber for the entire week of activities.
