Video For John

and any other motor home or Top Gear fans out there. I’ve ripped the section from Series 10 Episode 6 (last Sunday’s?) where Richard Hammon and James May team up with some Touring Car drivers to race various motor homes around an old track. That is if it ever completes uploading to YouTube… I’m glad I didn’t include the last segment (otherwise I would be waiting all night) that featured Jeremy Clarkson showing a behemoth of a motor home, big enough to hold a sports car in one it’s storage areas!

I still think the little red Toyota was a bit of a cheat, calling it a camper van clone maybe, but a proper motor home? Nope…

Almaty Cars

If you browse through YouTube fairly regularly, and have any sort of interest in Kazakhstan you can’t help but notice the amount of videos dedicated to nouveau riche motorists on the streets. They mostly seem to be recorded in Almaty, and feature incredible cars cruising around, basically using the roads as their own private race tracks.
It makes me laugh sometimes to think how they have seen exotic cars for sale somewhere, and then can’t really take them outside of the city - a lot of the motor ways in Kazakhstan are not suitable for cars built like a battle tank such as the old Ladas, or proper 4×4s, not the Toyota Ravs, but proper 4 wheel drive off road vehicles.
