Car and Driving Videos
As technology becomes increasingly important to the constant flow of transactions and vital communications that keep us chained to our desks every day, it's increasingly important that a handful of rebels keep the real spirit of the internet alive by finding increasingly amusing and entertaining ways of helping you waste your time.
In the perfect synthesis between internet and car, we present the first in an irregular series of time-wasting articles that make the best use of Youtube videos that are vaguely related to cars.
Marvel at massive leaps and vertical climbs, shake your head in astonished glee at the genius of the best car adverts on TV, and furtively watch the finest celluloid car chases as you listen for your boss's approaching footsteps.
Enjoy, and feel free to alert us to vids that are, frankly, loads better at robin.brown@askaprice.com.
