I'm drawn to this like a tourist staring at a bloody body on Oxford Street.

It's intriguing and at the same time vulgar and fuckwit stupid.

Every arse with a clapped-out/stolen car and two brain cells will see this as a challenge to replicate or better.

More dumbing down... if that were possible.

I think this is done so well, it looks amazing!

But i cant work out if they have nodded towards all the videos of people in middle eastern countries doing this car stunt stuff, giving them credit ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SPd9wTPV4g ) or just ripped them off?

Not to sure about the song, not my type of music if im honest, im more of an industrial metal and d&b fan, but the video is very good with some excellent stunt driving.

I watched the video again while listening to sunchase - remember me, and it actually worked very well.

sexyness.
