Gumball 3000 where rich over-privileged kids travel from Paris (London?) to Nice via Morocco It's more like a Jackass than the real movie, but it shows a lot of road marking and traffic signs.

Teckademics Mischeif Invasion is one of the craziest movies I've ever seen. It mainly shows them driving the Gumball 3000 through Europe. An example of it here:

I loved the scene where it jumps that huge gap in the motorway.



I couldn't find another video of it, so ignore the last four minutes.

Yes indeed, i also have that one on dvd.

The Fast And The Furious series also feature American road, however that movie concentrates more on the vehicles and urban racing than intercity highways.

What about Drifting? I didn't watch it. Is it good, or also concentrates too much on cars and city racing?

Tokyo Drift. Well i have that one too, but it is not so much fun as the other two, since the main character is only like 17 (looks older though, like 21), but it is kinda cool to see the Japanese streetracing world. The movie is quite different from 2 F 2 F and TFATF.

Driving videos

Seems like there's a few out there who likes to make these kinds of videos, so I thought why not make a thread where we could share all of them..


The rules are simple, post your driving videos and add a little text about where it is..

I will kindly ask people to only post their OWN videos and not other's work in this thread!


I might as well start..

Night driving around Copenhagen..
