looks so fun but they are driving like 'Ricers'..
but i know how it is there.. everybody drives like that
enjoy..

CLICK Meh



this one is pretty neat too.. good visual.

CLICK Meh TOO!!

 

The video was taken at Namsan Mountain road near my house...lots of twisties....and also downtown Kangnam the place to be seen in a hot car.

And yes we do drive like this cuz of the darn traffic

The cars were tuned by Peak Motors the only aftermarket shop for Mini here in Korea. My car is going to be in their shop next week (hopefully) for my stage III build.

 

Looks like fun.......................

 

Yeah that looks like a blast I love diveing in groups

 

I can't get it to play properly. Is there a way to download the clip so it doesn't pause while buffering?

 

OOO WEEEE! I love this video. And what is the name of that song
I love it just as much as the vid.

 

The way the Mini's zoom around in traffic remind me of two things.

One, obviously The Italian Job. The way they dart in and out, tight suspensions... *drooool*...

And of tight suspensions. Back in the day after graduating high school, I swore I'd never get a regular car. At the end of '97, I can't really think of any cars that even really hinted at sparking interest for me. Pops had an el camino for a while which was cool, but didn't 'turn me on'. Intrepid's & Eclipses had a nice looking body, but they still looked a lot like everything else except for the rear. I think it was the 'common-ness' between cars which lacked appeal. Then one day I saw a dodge viper, come off a freeway ramp at about 50, swing through a turn without loss of speed or traction, and in my head I was thinking 'thats hot'. That was my first year in the military, and I obviously couldn't afford a Viper, or even a car really... But ever since then I've always looked at cars with sport suspensions higher than cars without, even if the ride is a bit harsher. Point is, those Mini's remain tight as they dart in out and around. I'm constantly impressed by our little euro cars.

 

Bear in mind, 1/2 that vid is running at 2x speed

 

dunfrir// yeahh.. i know what you are talking about.. Kang nam and Nam san. i'm surprised that they have a mini shop in korea.. hm

i've got this movie from www.clubmini.co.kr


the background music was from a 'mini cd' (????) them koreans get.. it's coool

 

Thanks for the link. I will have to get one of my KNs to translate for me so I can log onto the site. I am going to try to meet up with a few of the owners of those hot Minis in the video.

BTW. My tuning parts arrived in country and are at customs. Hopefully the Lil Red Rocket will be in the shop by the end of the month

 

awesome :D
there aren't many Chili red with black tops in korea.. most of them are with white tops..

by the way, why all the mini owners in Korea use Super sprint??? it's darn expensive..

my favorite thing about them korean miniers is their wheels.... Hot..





Ps: 2nd Video Clip is up and running!

 

I brought my 2004 MCS to Korea. Most Korean Minis are "cookie cutter". All have white tops, tinted windows, chromeline, automatic trans, stock wheels.

Peak uses and recommends Supersprint on the tuning kits.

Here are pics of some Korean Minis with "wheels" These 2 cars are in the Korea ClubMini videos too.

 

Ohh I see... Super sprint eh?
Oh, and LOOK AT THEM WHEELS. daymmm

 

Finally a nicely put together vid =) good job for whoever made! too bad I cant grab it off that streamin mms:// ha


DM

 

awsome vid . I will be getting with the ClubMini members hopefully soon. Will keep ya posted.

 

Fun video. And nice photos of local cars. It's a treat for me to see the MINIs in a different setting or even to glimpse another place that is not the usual postcard view. Thanks.

 

:( the links down now....no fair

 

Yep...the links are down

 

The vid links are back up

 

Too bad the feed is so jerky. Sometimes I just get music, sometimes the video is like stop-go motion or just one frame shot for a lot of music. I'm sure the video would be cool if it could be seen.

 

I see alot of you guys are not able to see the movie smoothly..
I will upload the 2 clips tonight on my ftp
and link it. It's pretty well-made

 

Still can't watch them.

 

trying to download the 2 clips at home but somehow it's really slow / doesn't even let me download them.

I believe I still have the files downloaded @work so I will try to post them ASAP.. sorry guys

 

Was able to stream them and view them on Media player, but doesn't appear they're downloadable. Odd MMS protocol, not on a HTTP or FTP, so couldn't right-click/save as.

Oh, pretty cool clips. Though the first one was taken at night, and I found it to be too dark to really discern what was going on too well. The 2nd one had some dark spots in it too, but not bad.

 

Feed isn't jerky. File tries to play at 1000k per second. You'd need a solid 4MB internet connection to watch them without 'jerk'.

The second is 512k per second, which works okay with a cable internet connection.

The 'solution' to watch these though, is to go into windows media options, and set streaming video to first 'buffer 90 seconds' instead of the default 5 or whatever it's doing. That way it will download pretty much the entire video to the buffer, before showing it to you, reducing jerkyness. Probably a good idea to have plenty of ram and patience with this method, but it worked for me when I tried to show my wife on a wireless tablet PC.
