Swiss 300c in Traffic..

[flexion]

while cleaning up the memory card of my "onboard camera", I found this video clip from last week.
I was driving to work through zurich city (from train station to stock exchange building), where I had a nice black 300c with startech rims and
mesh grille in front of me.

well, nothing special in the U.S., but here in switzerland it's still something extraordinary if you see
a 300c on our streets. Most 300c drivers will wave back, with thumbs up and a big smile ;) heheh

I always enjoy your videos having lived in Europe myself. Great choice in background music!!

Wow, those streets are tight. It's no wonder American cars don't sell well there. The 300 looks huge compared to all the other cars.

[flexion]

thanks for the feedback ;-)

Geez!! You aint kidding! Talk about an intimidating looking car!! In that setting it looks like it could eat babies!

AWESOME Vid Flex!! When ya gonna make it to a M&G? If ya come to the Southeast Shindig, I will chip in on yer hotel room!:pepper:

[Rev.Hammer]

It sure is pretty over there!!

[Lloyd_Dobler]

what that your radio supplying the music? If so do you know the artist that did the Pink Floyd - the wall mix? I would like to find it for my collection.

Nice post.... I fairly enjoyed it!

[flexion]

well, most people here dont know they could buy one and a half chrysler for the price of an bmw/audi.

heheh, of course I would love to come to a M&G (in a 300c rental, of course ;) )
my uncle has an appartment in NY city, he always asks me when I will visit him again, but Mr. Georg Bush doesnt make it easy for us to visit the USA :-/ ..and I also hate the jet lag.. :(

[flexion]

yep, music is from the nav cd player...
search for "Eric Prydz vs Pink Floyd - Proper education remix (http://youtube.com/watch?v=CivLKzRo48Y)"

Flexion... d00d... Your car looks great btw. I love those Vogues and the lower is perfect! Best looking one-piece wheel (it's a one-piece right?) I've seen so far!:thumbs_u:

[flexion]

The Swiss back roads can even be more treacherous.

^^^ Omg!!

[UK CHRYSLER 300C]

They're The Same Sort Of Roads We Have In The Uk,christine Looks Massive In Comparison To Euro Boxes,but They All Move Outta The Way,i Wonder Why.lol

[DannyC]

Great Video! The road was so narrow I was scared just watching the vid.

[flexion]

btw, the 300c touring in that pic posted by "sidetrack" is a rental.. all (or most) rentals in switzerland have "AI" plates, because the major car rental companies register their cars in that region due to low taxes..


@DannyC: heheh, check out my other "narrow roads" video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9ayse9leB8) as well :)

cheers

[MagNite]

Reminds me alot of Germany where I was stationed back in 85-86 when I was in the Army for 18 months. Yeah some of the roads are narrow and the turns sharp which is why C.O.E. trucks are predominant.

[flexion]

..is why C.O.E. trucks are predominant.

I didnt know what C.O.E means.. had to look it up on google :)
cab over engine.. like this Renault Magnum (http://www.transportcafe.co.uk/roger_jones_heavy_transport/renault_magnum_truck.jpg)

[pigpen]

Damn those roads are narrow!!

[flexion]

here's a brand new video:

it starts where my other "narrow roads video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9ayse9leB8)" ends, but this time with a powerful bike.
the roads here are a dream for every biker!
dont be scared, the speedo displays kilometers, not miles :) (no laws broken, no bunnies injured.. )
