LOL..... first one..... east europeans, say no more. Legendary for wierdness with old, small cars. (remember the fiat 126 video?)
Second one.... some points I love...
* Making a big point that it's a 75hp 1.4, like wow.
* The silly little mini-spoiler. It doesn't even look good.
* Fart can exhaust making it sound like the engine's badly untuned.
* Clear shots of his number plate, a roadsign that could locate the spot quite easily, his mush, and a couple of 30mph limit signs...... as he comes flying past doing at least 50, maybe 60. Keep this one out of sight of the constabulary, methinks.
* That bloody music. Bigger than Hip-hop is fine from time to time but it just doesn't match here for some reason. Can't help feeling something fluffy and classical would be better, or maybe some Dolly Parton.
* Further police-worrying evidence of blocking both lanes by stopping slap in the middle of a country road (that has quarry trucks hooning along it) in between two blind corners, such that he gets flashed on setting off.
* Inability to even get decent wheelspin! (a 75 horse valver on big Halfords alloys probably doesn't help, but still isn't an excuse)
* The girl sitting bored/terrified/actually a mannekin in the passenger seat while he's showing off. Hasn't he seen the "First Date? Speeding - It's not impressive"
advert?
* Mildly bad editing (music overlaying engine noise, the mistimed cutoff)
* Oh and the grille's not too good, in this vid at least it just looks like the original's been ripped out and nothing put in it's place.
/pisstake, like i could do better

I'm gonna have to find out how to upload the cruddy videos I made today onto there now 
Method - find bit of open, wide, straight, rarely used road in middle of countryside. Put camera on (mini) tripod and aim it so a good length of road is seen. Get in car and arse about, burnout, 0-60, handbrake, J-turn etc, giving it a send off. Marvel at the huge amount of traffic, trucks, hedge-trimming dudes in transit vans who park up, etc that suddenly appear every time you take the handbrake off. Profit (?)
